Showing up on a drifting crewless spaceship reminded me of the recent Wild Blue Yonder. The TARDIS is currently screwed up due to lack of mercury... that seems like a pretty easy point of failure that could strand someone pretty bad. Nice bit of continuity, though, looking for mercury to fix the same thing was the same excuse the First Doctor used to get everyone else to agree to explore the Dalek city before they knew it was the Dalek city. Considering the TARDIS has deemed this area unsafe and there are no people around, they sure seem to take it pretty easy. Jamie's just like "Aight, I'm gonna take a nap." I like that their meal is non-food pills, but with flavor and apparently a sense of filling. | Showing up on a drifting crewless spaceship reminded me of the recent Wild Blue Yonder.

The scienceyness here seems half-baked. They talk about dangers from stars going nova including meteorites? Come on, son. | The scienceyness here seems half-baked. They talk about dangers from stars going nova including meteorites? Come on, son. | ||
This story... just felt like it didn't have much meat on its bones. I found myself thinking about what had happened so far, and being surprised I was already through 5 of 6 episodes. It wasn't until almost the end that most people on the Wheel even started seeing Cybermen and not half thinking the Doctor was a crazy person. | |||
Some of the 1960s effects were pretty goofy. Like the Cybermen moving through space with a goofy walk. | |||
So Zoe has decided to join up, and the Doctor tries to warn her what she's getting into with a Dalek clip show. This is the end of the season and I have to assume all the actors/sets will have been long gone by the time the next serial starts. So I wonder if they ever acknowledge the people left behind and say Zoe told them what she was doing, or if they're just left thinking the Doctor and Jamie abducted her. | |||
