I just splooged all over the key board.
I hold you responsible, Mr. Demdike.

Seriesly though, i'm ****ing pumped for this!

Just as long as the producers remember what they look like.

As illustrated by this recent novel.

I heard it to. I think Gatiss is writing the return. I thought Moffat would have wanted to do that one.

Though the day they re-introduce the Zygons there will be fan frenzy.

I fear for the Ice Warriors.

I actually didn't mind the Sontaran or Sillurian stories when they returned. At least it didn't get botched as badly as the rounded up Cybermen . ( yes I'm still bitter that the best story was on Torchwood)

I disagree 100% with this.

We already established our viewpoints on the new Cybermen though. You think they are great and I can't stand the thought of human cybermen. It's just as ridiculous as the moronic human dalek.

I do admire you who fandom though so cheers.

Well at least they tried which is more than can be said for the Vashta Nerada.

That would have been the ultimate humiliation but thankfully it didn't happen. The Doctor only used the badge against the Cyberleader who was only weakened by it and still managed to get his revenge by damaging the TARDIS console which guaranteed Adric's death.

The original idea of it causing them to suffocate wasn't bad but it did get ridiculous in Silver Nemesis when being hit by gold coins was enough to destroy them.

Don't go near Attack of the Cybermen then.

Totally agree about the human Dalek by the way. Dalek Sec was a terrible idea.

So was the way the Dalek was despatched in the episode Dalek.

I actually rather like Attack though. Thought it was one of the better Baker stories. I'd forgotten about the human cybermen though it came off much better than the E-Space alternate reality dimension redux that was the new cybermen.

I think what I truly hate is that they completely took out the alien aspect of the characters. It's like they were ashamed of the characters so they had to completely change them.
