Description The Eighth Doctor Who was a bit of an odd duck. Appearing on screen only in the TV movie, he was meant to act as a kind of bridge between the old series and a new one, which could appeal to a wider (i.e. American) audience.

A series like that did eventually happen, but unfortunately he wouldn't be part of it (though he did appear in a lot of non-TV material, such as books and radio plays). As he was something of a transitional object himself, I thought the bird-like Archaeopteryx would be a perfect fit for the "half-human" doctor.

Um... it's parked back in his TARDIS (Time And Relative Dinosaurs In Space)?

I'm really enjoying all of the choices you've made for the various Doctors.

Thanks! I've put more thought into some of them than others, obviously, but I wanted to have some sort of rationale for my choices and not just randomly sync them up. Though a couple of them (like #7) were just a case of My Favorite Doctors + My Favorite Dinos, just because.
