The Cybermen are my fave villains from Doctor Who, espcially the 1980s versions. I do not like the new Cybermen. I don't like their design. I don't like their voices. I don't like their reboot.

That said, this was probably the best Cyberman story this side of Tomb of the Cybermen. It really really shows them as a force to be reckoned with, and while the older stories often threatened the horror of becoming a Cyberman, this one not only shows you that horror straight up, but punches you in the gut with it.

I just wish there was a David Banks in one of those suits. :)

I was hoping to see you on AIM last night so I could talk about this episode with you, purely to see what your reaction might be. At least we can rest assured that this is NOT a reboot of OUR universe's Cybermen...

Truth be told, if you want to see what the ACTUAL origin of the Cybermen are (or more or less, given the audio adventures are canon to a point), see if you can find a synopsis of the audio adventure called "Spare Parts". You might find that one rather interesting...

Did we really need an AU Story to tell a Cybermen story?

Considering they killed off Jackie in that one, yeah....it really made for a tug-at-your-heartstrings moment.
