Although I can almost understand what the caption is supposed to mean - be a CM to impress, and banning for actually looking at a CM -, I have absolutely no idea why this image should be here.

Yeah, that doesn't get across why the Master's a CM at all.

Motion to pull.

I propose a picture of a Dalek: They're the first things you hear about in the article, and are iconic enough to be recognized by any Whovian, old or new.

Unfortunately, I have never watched Doctor Who in my life, so I cannot offer much help in finding a replacement image. However, if what ^suggests is an image depicting Daleks doing something bad, I am not going to argue.

It's probably not much of a crime for the Doctor Who sub-page image to be slightly myopic. It should hopefully be a picture of a person (creature?) doing something bad, or looking irredeemably evil, or something, though.

^: seconded. Myopic, yes, but at least a little bit representative.

Something like this or this?

[up] Good god no to the first one. I despise having to fear going to certain pages (the Nightmare Fuel pages I never, ever visit since people joyfully put up plain horrific things) because of freaky images.

Better than the current one, but with their pants down would be even better.

Actually doing something evil. Not just looking bad - unless my tired eyes are deceiving me about the above-mentioned pics.

That can get a little difficult, by virtue of how a lot of Doctor Who shots are arranged! I'll try, though.

If cropped and shrunk, would this work?

[up] Agreed - it's far better than the current one.

Is that fact that they're attacking New York clear enough in this resize, or should I go a bit bigger?

[up] That's infinitely better than the current pic. "EX-TER-MI-NATE!!!" as the caption if we go with it?

Well, It's not a Dalek without an "EX-TERMINATE!" Unless it's repeated two more times, rising in text boldness and exclamation marks.

Are we good with the Dalek pic and the suggested caption?

I think that it's loads better than the old image. There are so many complete monsters in that show that it seems a shame to go for the standby, but everyone will get it at least.

I'd rather have Davros. Plenty of pictures of him to choose from.

These images may look like monsters, but they don't look like a Complete Monster. That's just a monstrous face.

[up] Right...too much character, not enough action.
