The Waters of Mars is often remembered as being the episode where The Doctor took things too far and became the self proclaimed Time Lord Victorious. It's a great character study of the Tenth Doctor and instrumental to the end of his arc, but often not discussed as much is the physical threat of the episode, The Flood.

The Flood are a water based life form that can take over humanoid forms in a zombie like manner, using the bodies as vessels to spread to other bodies of water or hosts. By touching just a drop of infected water, an individual could find themselves a husk of their former selves. You can tell when someones infected due to their cracked lips and constant water pouring from their mouths. It is a brilliant design that is both easily identifiable and unnerving.

While it may be difficult to work these aliens back into the story due to their overpowered nature (If just one drop made it to Earth, the planet would be doomed), it would be fantastic to see these water-based creatures return. When it only takes a drop to transform you, these guys are a serious threat to anyone they come across.
