My favorite Cybermen story. I like vulnerability in my villains. And the first regeneration - what more can you ask for in a serial?

You're the best, Janine!

Both those shows are on Hulu, if you have that service.

It was great, for me, until the "monster" came along. I liked the friends' bonding. But after that ... and frankly I'd rather be dead than live on as a slab of concrete. In my head canon the guy has gone insane and is playing with a tile with a hole in the middle. If the writer was cleverer, I'd...

Uuuuuughhhh. Didn't care for it. Maybe if the premise had been merely taking the bodies of the recently deceased - but downloading their souls? Brig as Cyberman? Only two Cybermen in the world can overcome their programming? Now I did like Clara's dream in the TARDIS - well done - liked her...

Doctor Who - Midnight vs. The Monsters Are Due on Maple Street There's an alien threat in both, but they stand back and watch their victims attack each other out of sheer paranoia. We actually read the script as a play in one of my junior high classes. I got to be the obnoxious woman accusing...

How about The Munsters vs. The Eye of the Beholder? A little spurious I know but the similarity is in what the viewer sees. The "normal" people of the State look like monsters to the audience but are considered attractive, and the Munsters consider themselves normal and Marilyn freakish. Yeah...

And you made all those! Beautiful, and nice attention to detail in noting each Doctor had a different TARDIS.

Lol you first ... *slams door and runs away*

The casting was absolutely perfect, imo. I did read the book but I liked the movie better - same with The Stepford Wives. I either read or heard that there was a clause in Mia Farrow's contract that she would film all her scenes in only one take. I don't know if that's true or not, but if it...

I like this portrayal of them as pathetic, doomed figures with delusions of grandeur.

Two things that could have improved it - well the first one refers to the series as a whole. 1) They should have kept Susan's cool demeanor from that first episode instead of making her a simpering, useless damsel in distress. No wonder the actress left the show. 2) They missed the chance to...

She sure did! It was because he left her to make the decision without helping her.

The only part of this episode I liked was Clara's chewing out the Doctor. It raises many valid questions.

Yeah, a lot of rubber-faced mugging and shouting, but then again, that describes a lot of reality TV stars.

You may be right. That's a good point. I wonder how Kubrick wanted him portrayed. As for the ending,

Breaking out means getting acne.

Speaking of missing footage, I'd like to see the parts cut out of Freaks (1932), particularly with Hercules singing soprano, and without the sappy ending.

Ah! I did see some of those - and some I didn't feel the time at all, like Pulp Fiction, but others like Eyes Wide Shut seemed to go on forever.

What was that saying? "Brevity is the soul of wit."
