I finally caught up with you guys. That was really clever how they set the cybermen ep in an alternative reality that was both contempory, and retro. If they hadn't done that we would have had to compare the cybermen to other cyborgs we've seen since the old series in other media, and the cybermen would look cheesy by comparison instead of retro hip.
I have some questions for those of you who might know the whole series. I thought K-9 just kind of took off with Romana. I don't remember him being damaged. What happened there? How did Sarah Jane get him. Oh, and now that we have a new, improved K-9, he'll probably make a re-appearance, don't you think...he should.
Romana can't come back, because she's a time-lord, and the time-lord's are all dead now, right? What about The Master. I can't remember. Was he a Time-lord? Did he die in the old series? He was the doctor's arch-nemesis, right?
With the re-appearance of the cybermen they've pretty much run out of old enemies, or companions that really need to be brought back, don't you think?
