Strax

Commander Skor in the Sontaran Stratagem and the Poison Sky.

Subsequent Sontaran manifestation include Commander Jask, various unnamed military personnel, and Strax, a warrior of exceptional loyalty, questionable domestic utility, and profoundly unreliable understanding of human anatomy.

Subjectus also appeared alongside multiple incarnations of the Doctor, participated in the five-ish Doctor's reboot, and demonstrated the rare professional ability to make an aggressively humorless clone soldier unexpectedly endearing.

audio activity substantial.

I watched it again the other day and it just made me laugh out loud, knowing you and watching what is very, very funny.

It's funny.

It's that thing of also having sort of battled through the Sontaran costume with Strax or whatever, which is great.

And it's an event when you go on set or whatever.

And...

Who's the Santaran that's like an ally? Strax.

It's like a gang.

Oh, God, the Padanasta gang.

So we're gonna have a conversation wherein we are going to ask if The Sontaran Experiment, and all the other Sontaran experiences, um, appearances that follow...

We're not gonna go through every Strax.

We will deal with Strax in one go.

We are going to ask whether the story is justified as a return for that particular monster or character.

And the conversation is not just was it worth bringing the monster back? But the point is, is the story itself tailored to what that monster was in their first appearance, or is the extrapolation justified? In other words, is The Sontaran Experiment properly a Sontaran story, or is it just an excuse to have the Sontarans on screen, and it could be Weeping Angels or something, whatever, instead? The point is just to find out w- whether these stories actually work properly, or whether they're just a vehicle for a costume.

I think they were, uh...

Yeah.

Okay, so Strax.
