One of my really early DW ideas involved a race of aliens called the
poisoners.
Basically they were made of animated black ooze that could jump up at
people out of sinks etc and posess them by the same means.
It was a rather shite idea with the aliens running round searching for
something called Thirdspace.
When I heard the master was going to spit gunk that posessed people I
imagined a stick-on blob of something.
They went a little overboard with the gunk I thought.

Write your reply.

assistant: There is alot of talk about this subject.  It could explain his interest and
constant involvement in the human race
I am not sure what that is about either.  I think it could
be FOX 's special effects for his transference power.  He has been using it
ever since he took over Nissa's Dad's body.(Keeper of Traken I think)
Also in Survival the master is possessed by the Cheetah People.  I was
thinking this might be the reason his eyes glowed.
I am not sure of the reason for this.  Perhaps it is because he is human.  I
am thinking that The Doctor wouldn't want other timelords messing around in
his TARDIS anyway.(Exept maybe Romana)  The movie seems to refer to the
TARDIS as having some sort of Empathy. "The TARDIS likes you" maybe it was
this that gave the asian access to the Eye of  Harmony.  It seems to me there
was an another episode that referred to the Eye of Harmony I think it was
during the Davidson era but it might have been during the T. Baker era.  If
any one can remember this episode and what the plot was it might give us a
little insight into what the Eye of Harmony is about.
Sorry not much factual input, only opinions.
