Oooooooo, I like your first idea! With a deceptive "OMG TIME LORDS ARE HERE---AWWWWW NOOOOOOOO." Heartbreaking, surprise twist, and it totally would not break any weird paradoxes or anything! This should happen.
And yesyesyesyesyesyesyesyesyesyesyesyes ROANOKE! THIS MUST NEEDS BE TO HAPPEN YES YES! Because I always enjoy the historicals. Because I like history (it was my undergrad minor, after all).
Plus, it has Christopher Marlowe in it and he apparently flirts with Steven. I'll get back to you on that.
Say whaaaat? That sounds...that sounds EPIC! (and you know how I love to pair historical figures with random people)
I really do wish Steven Moffat would bring back the Master. Except he still has so much stuff remaining with the Silence that I don't think he'd be able to feasibly pull off bringing in ANOTHER mystery. If he did bring him back, though, it'd probably go something like this (and if you've seen this before and I'm repeating myself, I apologize):
After a fourth season finale of still not finding out what the Silence are up to and only being given more questions instead of answers, the TARDIS crew are celebrating a post-saved-the-universe moment in the TARDIS. Suddenly, the scene cuts to a completely random guy on earth, who walks over to a telephone booth and makes a call. The scene cuts to the inside of the TARDIS, where the phone rings. The Doctor answers it cheerfully. "Heeeeeeello!" "Ah, Doctor," says the random guy. "How good of you to answer." The Doctor becomes just slightly suspicious. "Might I ask who's calling?" "I'm calling to inform you that in precisely five hours from now, there will be a massive explosion at a plastics factory just outside of London. The Queen's inside it." The Doctor becomes alarmed. "Who is this?!" "Just an old friend, Doctor," says the man, who hangs up. He grins malevolently and starts casually walking down a crowded street, quickly getting lost in the crowd.
--TO BE CONTINUED IN SPRING 2013--
World: "MOFFAT!!!!" D:<
And then Random Guy keeps appearing sporadically for six more seasons, before we finally find out it's the Master, who refuses to tell how he escaped the time lock ("A good magician never reveals his secrets, Doctor.") but who's actually only 20 minutes away from threatening to destroy the sun if the solar system won't let him be their ruler. Except he's actually doing a good thing by destroying the sun because the Silence have poisoned the sun's rays with super-death-radiation, so that SILENCE WILL FALL OMG. And then things are remarkably ambiguous in terms of moral compassing of characters. And then there's Eleven doing that thing where he flirts with villains really, really well. Yaay.
Generally, my ideas for new!Who episodes tend to be historical things.
1.) Something with that Time Pyramid in Germany, because that Time Pyramid is way too awesome not to be in Who. It probably accidentally summons back Sutekh or something. IDK. 2.) Something where they go to the time when Hawaii was first settled by people. Except they find out that the islands' previous inhabitants of the menehune are still living there, and they have to negotiate a peace treaty between the humans and the menehune. 3.) They go to a planet that's inhabited entirely by dragons. Awesome things happen. 4.) Salem witch trials. The Master was behind them, I tell you. Hypnotizing people and summoning demons and shit. Either that, or some random Who alien possessing girls and causing havoc. They also think the Doctor is a witch. 5.) The terrifying monster I had in a dream once. In Antarctica. It's hard to describe the monster, but basically it's made up of tiny little twigs that connect together to form a giant lasso-looking snake-thing, with a huge, gaping mouth bigger than the rest of it, and in its mouth there's a ginormous white crystal that emits an excessively bright light that not only blinds you in a horrific way (your eyes essentially explode) but also bleaches your skin and clothes so that your entire form looks as white as the snow so your corpse blends in with it. ...I have scary nightmares.
