[QUOTE="sniffles, post: 2843922, member: 30035"] It's interesting how differently people perceive things. :) I really liked the Cybermen in this episode because it brought home that there are still organic brains in the bodies, and they were the brains of people who had been ordinary human beings perhaps only a few hours earlier. Most of the Cybermen we've seen in the past could very well have been androids, since they were obviously the products of generations of Cyber-technology (I just rewatched this episode last night, followed by a viewing of 'The Tenth Planet'). I also found that pre-upgrade Lumic reminded me a lot of Tobias Vaughn, the villain who brings Cybermen to Earth again in 'The Invasion'. I guess Lumic didn't get an emotional inhibitor, though. He sounded much more emotional than any of the other Cybermen. Just as an aside, I was amused by the fact that the actor who played Lumic played Barty Crouch, Sr. in [B]Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire[/B]. Anybody remember who played Barty Crouch, Jr.? ;) I thought the Cybermen looked great moving in military ranks, marching in perfect unison. Watching some of the older Cybermen episodes it's funny to see how awkward some of the extras are in their Cyber-costumes. And during the '80s the Cybermen apparently lost some of their emotional inhibition, what with the Cyber-leaders punching their fists in the air and exclaiming, "Excellent!" all the time. ;) Oh, and I fixed the thread title. Hope that helps. [/QUOTE]
