Blogon backstory is fantastic. Adding it.

I agree with everything here except I think they should be called something other than Nogolbs. It's hard to say and is just Blogons backwards. The rest is such a good idea that I think you should come up with a more meaningful name.

The 'Nogolbs' thing comes from the fact that the Daleks were created from a race called the Kaleds, which is practically Daleks backwards. That said, IS was always far more original and witty than its copycats. Nogolbs doesn't bother me.

The Gonlobs? The Rikrols?

If it's going to be an anagram, I like Goblons. Sounds kinda like goblins.

I've posted this to the wiki as canon, but I am partial to Goblons in place of nogolbs...little easier to pronounce.

Noglobs or Goblons would be good. It's just the l right before a b that gives English speakers difficulty.

Also I never knew that about the Daleks. Oh classic!Who. Why so cheesy. <3

Can we have a Silence eXpy, I made the Quiet Men. When you look at these aliens, they will cause you to remember meaningless things so you don't focus on them.

We'll probably have a Silence eXpy but I don't know what ideas have been floating around yet.

Your's will certainly be put in the idea!pile.

There was a confession with them once (they used ET, I believe, as the aliens)-- I'll track it down tomorrow when I actually update my post. I think 'Quiet Men' is also what TVTropes uses, however.

These are some amazing ideas. Sorry for putting my two cents in late, but officially, it's "Blorgons", not "Blogons"

Also, the villain we have in the script I'm trying to get made is Boyish the Extraordinary, an Immortal and the Inspector's Arch Nemesis.

MAN, would I love to produce some of these stories you guys are coming up with...

So we'll need to be adding an R.

Since getting rid of the Sergeant is going to be nigh impossible (though easier if Boyish becomes canon on Community), what if we fit Boyish in as a reboot of the Teacher. Then, however Boyish turns out, we'll just make the Teacher a less cool, less creative version and set up some fan disagreement over whether he is an actual reboot or if the few similarities are coincidence?

Either that or he's a new arch-nemesis created for the 9/10/11th Inspectors. In which case fan chatter would be over Sergeant vs. Boyish and why didn't they just bring back the Teacher? Etc.

are the villains in stare still the snarling lions? I've seen lots of different opinions. and they turn people into stone?

I'm adding that the reason you can't stare is that the moment you sense them, in any way, they can sense you. so if you look at them they can get you, but if you try to just navigate like a blind person by touching, they can also get you. this led to the instinct we all have, apparent mostly in young children, that if "I can't see you, so you can't see me".

The Teacher can be an uninspired, generic "buahahaha take over everything" villain from the 1st and 2nd Inspectors. Boyish could be brought in later for recent Inspectors like Trav said. It can be implied that Boyish is a reboot of the teacher but the canon never addresses where the Teacher went or what happened to him to make Boyish.

Boyish sounds a little more unstable than The Sergeant. The Sergeant reminds me more of the older incarnations of The Master. I'm not sure though because we haven't seen Boyish's characterization yet.

Is Boyish from the same species as The Inspector?
