I started a new message since the other was getting long :P

I also love Omega's design, specifically the New Who version from the concept art I showed you, which is derived from his Classic Who appearance, obviously. Rassilon will probably have to come back, yes. If we bring back Rassilon and Omega, we have two of Gallifrey's founders right there. If we reveal the Doctor to be the Other reincarnated, then we could have a three-way battle for rule over Gallifrey, and I feel like that has much "epicness" potential. The one thing I want to stress about the Time Lords this time around is I want them to be a bit more grand in terms of their design; Rassilon looked too "ordinary" in The End of Time, for example, in my opinion. Regarding the rebuilding of Gallifrey, that's a gradual "in the background" thing, and not something I wanted to focus on plot-wise. Whenever the Doctor returns home in future series, we'd see that things improve a little bit every time. Ultimately the end result of this course of action will be New Who with a Classic Who feel, perfectly uniting the two eras in the show's history.

I'd like to say the series opener should be no bigger or smaller than the two-part opener of Series 6. Other than that, I don't really have any ideas about it at the present time.

Personality-wise, the Thirteenth Doctor is a reference to the unluckiness/death brought about by the number 13 in many cultures. As such, he is dark, prefers to work alone, self-absorbed, et cetera. He is still a hero, but he is one who makes all the wrong choices. Over time, though, we see him start to mellow out a bit and become sort of like the Twelfth Doctor or Ninth Doctor, where he still has spurts of darkness but the potential for kindness and humor.

I definitely want to try to make The Doctor work. As for Paternoster Row, I'm not sure when exactly it should take place. At first, my thoughts were the same as yours, but from the dialogue in A Good Man Goes to War, Vastra and Jenny have at least been together for a while. I guess we could explore the group's founding in mini-sodes or flashbacks.

I read The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy a few years ago and thought it was good overall; as far as the redesigned Cybermen and Daleks, I just want to try and release some new interpretations of old enemies. Not necessarily to replace the current ones, but alongside them.
