OH MY GOD GOOD FOR MICKEY HES FINALLG GETTING OUT OF THERE AND MAKING A BETTER LIFE FOR HIMSELF AND PEOPLE WHO WILL TREAT HIM BETTER

[doctorwhatpodcast]

WE'RE SO BACK. We are SO back. We're so back it's not even funny. Did you miss us? Do you remember us? You better.

We've got an update for you explaining where we've been, and a brand new episode on "Rise of the Cybermen/Army of Steel," which was a pretty shitty two-parter, ngl. Link in our pinned post.

ALSO we've deleted our Instagram because we're not a big fan of Mark Zuckerberg's new policies. This is an incredible understatement. Follow us on Bluesky if you've got one: @doctorwhatpod.bsky.social.

This brief exchange from Age of Steel seems to summarize David Tennant's approach to acting. (sincere)

Does Harry Sullivan (Companion of the Fourth Doctor) remind anyone of Mickey Smith in terms of how the Doctor treats them?

Me watching Rise of the Cybermen/Age of Steel:

S2E5 & S2E6 - Rise of the Cybermen & Age of Steel

★★★☆☆

This pair of episodes seems pretty divisive when I read the online commentary. For fans of ClassicWho, the re-introduction of another top tier Doctor Who enemy - the Cybermen - felt flat, void of the intrinsic characteristics that were supposed to make these creatures truly terrifying and reduced to glorified robots.

I fall outside of this camp, but I do wish the episodes really focused more on why Lumic saw the Cybermen as a solution and no one else seemed to share his vision of prolonging life beyond a mortal human body. It is an alternate universe after all, surely humans in that universe might have their priorities in a different order.

Speaking of different worlds, the real standout of this story for me was Mickey. The tin dog of the crew, seemingly with no real purpose in his own world, finds himself face to face with Ricky and realises he actually is capable and can make something of himself. The penultimate scene where the Doctor gives a coded message for Mickey to disable the inhibitor is where he shines and show that he really is more than just a tin dog. He’s got skills. I enjoyed seeing this character growth and his decision to stay behind in the alternate universe seemed to be the first time he made a properly considered, mature decision that didn’t revolve around Rose. Good on him.

Other than that, we got some grisly scenes of human to Cyberman conversion, Rose meeting her alt-Father and alt-Mother (and seemingly not understanding why Pete would not jump universes with her despite knowing her for 0.2 seconds...) and the foundation for what is going to be an emotional series finale. I can sense the Doomsday angst approaching and I will have to be ready for it.

QUOTE:  “Mickey, where’d you learn to fly that thing?!” “Playstation. Just hold on Rose. I’m coming to get you.”
