[QUOTE="horacethegrey, post: 3163496, member: 40123"] Well count me as one who's glad they got rid of the gold weakness and also not mentioning it. I found it horribly cheesy, and so too would modern audiences. And honestly, if the Doctor tried something like that, wouldn't it come off as a bit daft? [B]DOCTOR:[/B] Haha! (throws gold paint over Cyberman) (Cyberman merely shrugs it off, and continues advancing towards him.) [B]DOCTOR:[/B] (eyes widen in surprise) Oops. [B]ROSE:[/B] What are you doing?! [B]DOCTOR:[/B] Funny, it worked the last time. [B]ROSE: [/B] (screaming) Would you just stop mucking about?! Um, the Cybermen were introduced way back in 1966, a whopping 23 years before the intro of the Borg in 1989. Add to that the many similarities that they share, and I'm afraid the case for the Borg being original isn't strong. As for the zombie theory, I don't buy it. The Cybermen and Borg forcefully change other species to build their ideal [B]society[/B]. They may cause a lot of havoc, but in the end all they desire is order and unformity. Zombies on the other hand, have no such forward thinking whatsoever, and exist solely to cause chaos... Not to mention have a snack of human flesh. :) [/QUOTE]
