b'Welcome to an aesthetically-oriented episode of Verity! Join Deb, Erika, Katrina, and Lynne as we take a look at monsters/aliens/villains from a design perspective. Which baddies look great? Which don\'t? Does a fleshed-out back story that dovetails with the design help or hinder? And of course, we save time for our most (and least!) favorites! It\'s a fascinating discussion that almost breaks Deb at one point--not every DW design choice was a wise one. Sometimes a cape in and of itself *is* the superhero. What do you think of monster design? Do you have favorites or ones you think work well? Poorly? Let us know in the comments! ^E Also covered [links on our site]: Lynne has embarked upon a series 7 rewatch to prepare for the rapidly-approaching new series! and looks forward to Peter Capaldi taking a firm hand with his character! Kat is charmed by 16 seconds of Peter Capaldi and Jenna Coleman interacting before heading to Sydney! Erika enjoys the "secret" trailer for "Deep Breath"--especially Clara\'s line at the end! and almost forgets that what\'s really making her happy is hearing Maggie Thompson talk about Doctor Who fandom (and how it hasn\'t changed that much)! Deb has high hopes for a new east-coast Doctor Who convention: (Re)Generation Who! and kindly refrains from stealing Erika\'s second happy thing!
