Having now scuttled to the end of my visit to Vortis, I thought I’d bounce off my recent rewatch of The Three Doctors to dive into the legend of Omega.
I’ve even ordered the Cutaway Comics comics and audio featuring Omega (and the wonder that is Brian Blessed in the title role). I’ve now got to decide if I can afford to buy The Box of Terrors audio novel from BF.
The Box of Terrors is very fun
Omega is such a startling good creation. The performance and costume design in The Three Doctors just work so well together. Stephen Thorne is magnificent! And that scene where he removes his mask is one of Who’s absolute best.
Seeing this figure from Gallifrey’s past - a legend - is such a good idea for an anniversary story.
The Three Doctors is such a comfort watch for me. I’ve been working through the bluray edition including the Behind the Sofa extra and making of documentary - both really good.
I think I’ve heard the commentaries before but I’m going to give them a relisten - Katy Manning, Barry Letts and Terrance Dicks being lovely.
Yayyyyyy Intervention Earth!!! (yes I have a one track mind and that one track is Gallifrey 
)
Yep, I’m going to give that a relisten too.
Question for @shauny - why on earth doesn’t Omega have a character tracker? He’s OMEGA for goodness sake. He is a GOD!
I immediately thought of that too! TREY <3
I really like Omega as a villain. As Nev Fountain said in some behind the scenes material for Omega, he isn’t a good villain — he’s actually really terrible at being bad.
I also find him really tragic. That scene in Infinity where he walks around Amsterdam gazing at street attractions is so heartbreaking. All he wants to do is exist in the world.
I’m also going to sidestep into Deathworld as I haven’t listened to it yet and I’m intrigued with how it compares to The Three Doctors.
Don’t ask me why but seeing this thread title took me right back to 2011 and seeing this video for the first time. How the hell did it get 20,000 views!? And I don’t see anything! 
What the actual ■■■■ is going on there?!? There’s literally nothing there! Why do fans do this to themselves?!?
Fans were insistent that Omega was returning all the way through Series 5 and 6

Fans never change
But where’s the Omega badge @deltaandthebannermen undoubtedly wants after finishing all of Omega’s stories… 
Yes, I raise this question so that Delta doesn’t have to.
He’s busy coming up with a new way to get Blake’s 7 onto the Guide…
Brian Blessed is absolutely inspired casting for Omega, genuinely just need more of him in the role
End the sentence there, i reckon Matt Berry could be a good Omega
Matt Berry would be a much better Monk, like the Season 10 plan that didn’t happen
Matt Berry would be a fantastic Monk, just imagine him saying Doctor
I think Matt Berry as the Monk would just irritate me. I like him enough in Garth Marenghi and the IT Crowd but he’s basically always the same and I think I’d see him as ‘Matt Berry’ more than I would see him as the Monk. And 100% he’d be wrong for Omega.
