Dark faeries, nature gone wrong, secret organizations that police supernatural/extraterrestrial entitiesyou could apply those descriptors not only to the works of Guillermo Del Toro, but you could also apply them to not only Steven Moffats work on Who, but also Russell T. Davies. Also much like Who, his approach to the oddities of the world as cleverly hidden beings/artifacts from other realms would be welcomed in a universe where fat suits compress aliens and a fob watch isnt only a fob watch. Del Toro is a fanboy of Science Fiction and Fantasy through and through. These also happen to be the two major genres that Doctor Who has combined to its great success over nearly five decades of existence. Also, Del Toro has shown himself adept at telling stories dealing with the Supernatural, Science Gone Wrong, and Fairy Tales that are more grim than one could expect. To have him working with Steven Moffat would be the Doctor Who equivalent of Tony Stark and Bruce Banner setting up a laboratory together. (In fact, were The Angels Take Manhattan not the final episode with the Weeping Angels, one could say that GDT would be perfect for a stand alone adventure with everyones favorite stone terrors.)
Mike Reyes may or may not be a Time Lord, but he's definitely the Doctor Who editor here at What Culture. In addition to his work at What Culture, Mr. Reyes writes for Cocktails and Movies, as well as his own personal blogs Mr. Controversy and The Bookish Kind. On top of that, he's also got a couple Short Stories and Novels in various states of completion, like any good writer worth their salt. He resides in New Jersey, and compiles his work from all publications on his Facebook page.
