Doctor
Who Season 2
|
Continuing
where we left off, the Doctor, Rose, Mickey, Rickey and a few of Rickey's
underground terrorist organisation members are surrounded by Cybermen about
to be deleted.
The Doctor uses the power coil to knock out the Cybermen with some of the energy and everyone runs off. The Cybermen force are busy rounding up people, putting them in vans and converting them to Cybermen. It's Mondas all over again. Can the Doctor change the history of this world so that it doesn't turn out like Mondas? The team split up in the hope of distracting the Cybermen but the inevitable happens to Rickey. They get back together but Mickey is the outsider again. They plan on turning off the signal to the earpieces. Mickey and Jake head off to disable the dish antennae on the front of the zeppelin while the Doctor and Mrs Moore try and attack the Cybermen from 'above, between and below' Rose and Mr Tyler head off disguised as controlled humans ready for upgrading in the hope of saving Jackie Tyler. Unfortunately they're too late.
Angela Price (Mrs Moore) disables a Cybermen with an electromagnetism bomb and the Doctor finds out that they're weakness is that they're fitted with an emotional inhibitor chip. If a signal could be sent out to disable the chip so that the Cybermen could see themselves... Because everyone has always believed that Cybermen are male it was interesting to have a couple of scenes where the Cyber'men' turn out to be females. This story is brilliant and definitely one to watch more than once. There are thousands of Cybermen and the Doctor actually looks worried! This is probably the first time that I've felt that nailbiting suspense sensation this series so this story is definitely one to recommend to sci fi fans. And if they mention the Borg, you know what to do!
