I think my favorite Delgado story is The Daemons. Actually, I'm certain. Goofy and over the top, but in all the right ways for me.

God, Ainley is so good in Survival. Not to get too far ahead, but Simm is honestly a pretty great Master, but as others have said, his stories (apart from his brief appearance here) are so uneven.
Yeah, I really like Time of Angels/Flesh and Stone. What others see as betraying the Angels' original premise feels more like expanding it to me, and I love Ser Jorah and his merry band of Anglican Space Marines.
I read that novel, too. It's very similar in feel to 'Blink' (and The Time Traveler's Wife), but pretty well done overall.
I agree, but I'd put 'Human Nature'/'Family of Blood', 'Blink', and 'Utopia' up against it myself.
Well said, Prole. I absolutely love the Name/Night/Day/Time tetrology, and only put Day a half-step above the other because Tom Fucking Baker, that's why. Moffat took the import of Year 50 very seriously, and imho more than delivered the goods.
Okay, let's do this. Ten best nuWho stories:
'Pompeii' is strangely underrated, despite the presence of Amy Pond and that Capaldi bloke. I even forget how fantastic it is until I watch it again.
I think I'm in the camp that says Tennant's best performance as The Doctor is either 'Midnight' or 'Waters of Mars'…
Well, colour-blind unless we're casting the Doctor or James Bond.
Who will survive in America? Who will survive in America? Who will survive in America?
I wanna tee-shirt what says, 'Make the fuck peace.'
Nah, they're still the Doc's greatest enemies, especially in Asylum and Time of the Doctor. The nanogenes causing eyestalks to grow out of their zombie slaves' heads is a nasty little piece of innovation, and I have high hopes for their first outing w Capaldi (which will reportedly be in the first half of Series 8).
It's a case of Bob Holmes heavily editing Nation's script more than anything, imho, but yeah, Remembrance takes it every time.
Well, I mean, it IS in my top ten, and I do acknowledge that putting Planet ahead of it may be a stretch, but okay.
That's a good list. I hesitated to put Dalek as low as I did, but it gets its due a lot more than The Chase, Revelation, and Planet especially, so I overcompensated a little.
Top Ten Dalek stories:
Victarion motherfucking Greyjoy IS the Drowned God. And,
Jury is still out there, your automatonic highness.
I don't flat-out hate it either (I can even forgive the Dalek redesign in retrospect since it's been all but reversed subsequently), but the Churchill stuff really bothers me, as I've said here ad nauseum.
