Maybe they were active, but in the interest of time the episode could only show those who managed to get anywhere. Off screen maybe 80 year old Ian and Barbara are trying to toss a blanket over a Dalek. | Maybe they were active, but in the interest of time the episode could only show those who managed to get anywhere.

40X2: '''The Next Doctor''' ''[[]] [[]]'' | |||
(First watched 2009-01-06) Nice. Much cooler than last year's Christmas special. Gives you an interesting what-if for a while, wondering if the man really is a (potential) future version of The Doctor, though as things came to light I began to get a sense of what had happened to him except for the exact how of him coming about the fractured knowledge. I wonder how long he had been going around as The Doctor trying to fight Cybermen? | |||
Those Cybermen from another reality must be just like the ones the Doctor knew even though they had a different origin, because he immediately recognized their iron giant as a specific class of vehicle. | |||
Their plan to start up the thing seemed unnecessarily complicated, though. First, kill one man to get a funeral. Then, capture four important guys at the funeral. Then, mechanize those guys and have them lead groups of children to one location. Then... use those children for short-term manual labor? Shouldn't there have been a much simpler way? Were the Cybermen ''that'' short of power that they couldn't rotate a few gears and shovel some coal themselves? | |||
Tethered Aerial Release Developed In Style. Ha! | |||
