Your theories/picks as to who is "Bad Wolf":
#1 = Davros/Emperor Dalek - Most Obvious - Since at the end of Sylvester McCoy's episode, "Rememberance of the Daleks", we saw Davros as the Emperor Dalek, it could very well be him.
Lady Ozma's theory about Colin Baker's episode, "The Revelation of the Daleks" and the Game Spot contestants as to how they got half a million Daleks, is entriguing and very plausible.
#2 = Tied for K-9 and The Valeyard - Since these are not as obvious, I say they both have a great chance of coming true. You all have some great theories for K-9, just being mad that his own spin-off was cancelled as to mine tying him into the destruction of Gallifrey. The Valeyard (Evil incarnation of the Doctor) is another great theory. He was last (and only) seen in the Colin Baker final season of "The Trial of a Time Lord" He was an amalgam of himself, somewhere between his 12th and final incarnation. Quite possible!
#3 = The Master - The Doctor's "Best Enemy" We haven't heard from him since the Paul McGann movie, but he has been in the novelizations and Big Finish Audios. Probable, but unlikely, since RTD stated that he didn't have the Master written in for this series. That, however, doesn't mean that he is lying?!?
#4 = A former companion = Jo Grant? Sarah Jane Smith? Turlough? or how about Adric coming back from the dead? Possible, but highly unlikely.
#5 = A new villain tied into this season = I think that this is the most likely route that RTD would go. This is my theory! I discuss on the podcast that I think that it could be the Editor from "The Long Game" who was not killed in the destruction of the Jagrafas, but was in fact a "HUMAN" Dalek, similar to Lady Ozma's theory, but in human form. (Something that the writers for the new Battlestar Galactica have done with the Cylons.) I also mentioned that it could very possibly be Henry Van Statten, from Episode 6, "Dalek." He regained his memory and access to his technology to get revenge on the Doctor. This was an "Eureka!' moment for me as I was doing the podcast, but another epiphany came upon me as I was writing this post. "Bad Wolf" is ADAM!!! He has to most to gain for revenge upon the Doctor. His fate was too easily written off at the end of the "Long Game" He has the spike port in his head and could have used some of the knowledge gleaned from Satellite Five's computers to regain make some money, escavate Van Statten's catacombs, retrieve and utilize the Cyberman's and Dalek technologies to recreate the Daleks and have his final revenge upon those who abandoned him on Earth. WOW! I should see what exactly I put in my iced tea this morning and get some more! A very wild theory, but entirely plausible in the recesses of my mind.
Let me know your thoughts and enjoy "The Parting of Ways"
We'll talk to you on Monday!
Enjoy!-Tom
