D is for Drashig. Extremely omnivorous, they'll eat your landing party and the shuttlecraft, too.

I thought I'd give an alien monster a try tonight. At least it doesn't look too puppet-like. Drashigs featured in the classic Doctor Who episode "Carnival of Monsters".

Looks a bit like Jar Jar Binks.

And you wouldn't want it around you either, albeit for a different reason. :o Jar-Jar was just one of those annoying individuals the universe somehow seems to favor. A drashig just wants to eat you. And your car. Perhaps your house too. It isn't picky, but it's relentless. :o

I always thought the drashigs were pretty spiffy. Pertwee's Doctor was the first one I actually discovered, albeit in re-runs, so he has always kind of been THE Doctor to me, and I love all of those old episodes. However dated the monsters and effects might look now, they're still a lot of fun. Carnival of Monsters has always been one of my favorites of his, too. You've done a really great job with drawing this beastie, and it's so cool to see that someone else still remembers them!

Thank you. :) I've been rewatching the classic Doctor Who episodes I've got on video tape, and the drashigs stuck in my head recently. From certain angles and distances, they're almost (almost) cute (and then I ask myself, "Are you insane?!" :p ). I've thought the special effects from "Carnival of Monsters" has held up fairly well over the years, especially when one considers the lack of budget and that CGI was years in the future. Even the aliens of Inter Minor were well-realized despite not seeing much of their world.

Personally, I like all the Doctors. McCoy's was the one where I finally got into the show, though the first story I remember seeing was Tom Baker's "The Sunmakers" when Gatherer Hade got tossed off a building.

I love all of the classic Doctors. I haven't seen enough of the new series to really comment, I'm afraid. But I'm very fond of the first seven. And yeah, it was amazing what they could do with the effects of the day, and the often shoestring budget they had. It's no wonder the series as a whole has held up over the years, or why it spawned a comeback after being effectively dead for so long.

I've seen all of Eccleston's stuff (#9), most of Tennant's (#10), and just a bit of Smith's (#11). I also managed to record McGann's (#8) debut story back in the 90s. As far as I've seen, it's been less of a reboot and more of a continuation as they've been very loyal to the classic material. I could almost even call the "missing' 8th Doctor and War Doctor season an homage to the unfortunately missing episodes of the 1st and 2nd Doctors. :p As I understand it, they've even made some of the CGI a bit cheesy on purpose to fit with some of the cheesiness of the classic series.

Jar-Jar first turns up meeting the two Jedi Knights. He was exiled because (and here I was able to translate his lingo -and I do NOT have a translation matrix spell) he was asked to valet park the ruler's car and managed to crash it into a wall ! For that, he was banished, never to return -ON PAIN OF DEATH !

Yes, I did see The Phantom Menace and some of the tie-in comics. :p I also know Jar-Jar rubbed a lot of fans the wrong way, and his speech, based as it was on a black American patois, really threw up howls of protest. Lucas was after a lovable sidekick character, but but seems to have ended up with a hated irritant. In the next prequel, Jar-Jar's role was vastly reduced, having been promoted out of the way to Naboo ambassador. Perhaps fittingly, he ended up unwittingly helping Palpatine with his plans to become Emperor.

Definitely nothing like a drashig.

Just like Casper freed Maximillian Ernest from the Last Dimension, only to find him a menace who would conquer earth and tyrannize it. Now it was up to Casper to get Loplop (Maximillian) to leave. Some of the writing is inept and I haven't summarized any of them,as they need rewriting.

A good guy getting suckered by the Big Bad isn't that unusual of a trope, so it's forgivable, even for Jar-Jar. Superman got taken in by General Zod, so it's not like it's reserved for the unpopular or idiots.

It's okay if the writing is inept. Early drafts always are. The only ones that aren't inept are the ones that are never written. It's the editing stage where the ineptness is hopefully hammered out.
