Top 10 Best Ways to Die in Doctor Who
How many ways are there to die in the Doctor's life? Thousands.River's captors, Rory the Roman, Amy's mom and dad, even Weeping Angels - if you touch the cracks (not those cracks) in time, you will never have existed. The only people who can remember you are time travelers, if you're not part of their non-time travel life.
Dooming yourself to becoming a madman with a box who constantly ignores the question "Doctor Who?" by opening the watch on the word of your inherited slave. Who wouldn't vote for this one?
When the Doctor assumed the name John Smith, he entrusted Martha Jones with the watch where he keeps his Time Lord consciousness. The rules are your basic Time Lord rules, except for one in the deleted scenes: "Don't let me eat a pear! I hate pears!"
Definitely becoming The Doctor. I mean, being the most brilliant thing ever? We all know Donna was happy about being The Doctor. At least before you die, you'd be the happiest thing ever - I know I would.
"Exterminate! EX-TER-MIN-ATE! The Doctor Will Surrender to the DALEKS! Daleks are supreme. Daleks take no orders! Exterminate." Wouldn't it be terrible for that to be the last thing you heard, coming from a voice that sounds like a whiny child, before disintegration?
"Don't blink. Don't turn your back, don't look away, and don't blink. Good luck." You blink, and the statues of Weeping Angels will come to life, touch you (not like that) and you will go back in time and die before you're born.
Ah yes, the tall green things with toothpaste on their foreheads that destroyed a clock. How we must fear them!
The Slitheen family from the planet Raxacoricofallapatorius (twin planet of Clom) have faced the Doctor or Sarah Jane Smith countless times. Each encounter features them wearing a suit of human skin, which looks like they're spreading toothpaste on their foreheads when they take it off. Sometimes they opt for a classic invasion attack, but most often they use nuclear tactics.
"Silence will fall when the question is asked. On the fields of Trenzalore, at the fall of the Eleventh, when no living creature may speak falsely or fail to give answer, a question will be asked. A question that must never, ever be answered." The moment you look away from a Silence, creatures of the Question, you forget them. And then they're on you. One of those times when becoming world-famous for your amnesia just isn't worth it.
"I am the bad wolf. I can see you, every atom in your body, and I divide them." That basically sucks.
One drop. That's all it takes. One drop of the infected water of Mars from Mars Station One, and there are cracks on your mouth, your body starts making water, and you become a host for the alien invaders. Lovely.
Someone removes your earplugs that currently control your brain due to a Cyberman invasion. It's all over.
Ice Warrior Invasion! The Ice Warriors, colonists of Mars, were a constant enemy of The Doctor's. They're yet to appear in the new series, although if they do, BBC better do something about those hands.
If you're going to die, let it be for a good cause.
Never dying, never dying, never dying!
I'd die for that guy.
"Now I'll never know if I was right."
Adric's death was the most important and saddest death on Doctor Who.
