Andrew Carnegie invented Cybermen.
Doctor Who: The Age of Steel
-- "We'll take them from above, below, and between" is the dirtiest plan ever. Thank you, Doctor, lovely to see you've met your innuendo.
-- Two points to Rose for remembering stuff from last season! Like, wow.
-- And two more points to Mickey for remembering stuff from last season, too!
-- I'm surprised that they never went back to the fact that the Cyberman in the little chamber hallway thing basically only gets activated when Mrs. Moore said her real name. ESPECIALLY SINCE CYBER!JACKIE (EW AGAIN KIND OF DIRTY) RECOGNIZED PETE. Dude, that was Mr. Price! As the Cyberman! (Are there itty little Cyberboys and girls, too? Because that's kind of.......... disturbing, on many levels.) And, like, when the Doctor tells Jake to look for the Prices, I was all screaming "NOES THEY'RE CYBERED AND DED."
-- I don't really care about any of the plot stuff, DAVID TENNANT IN A TUX IS KIND OF HOT. And by kind of, I of course mean a lot, because I am just one the silly fangirls at heart. The bowtie! OH JEEZ when he undoes the bow tie as he's talking (I heard that that was kind of the whole point of the tux in the first place? Doctor = James Bond, i don't cares!!!!!!1!!). Also, the fact that they retrieve his suit at the end is awesome because you KNOW everyone was in some meeting and someone was like "but the crazies will wonder next week how he got his suit back!" "he has multiple suits!" "that's dumb!" "hey, LET'S GET THE SUIT BACK" "OKAYS".
-- Alt!Pete Tyler walking away at the end was kind of the only appropriate way he could have reacted to Rose being his kid, not being a father in this reality in the first place. Though I kind of wanted her to explain her reality by simply telling him that she was Rose Tyler. Basically I wanted to take this whole episode and rewrite it a bit.
-- FIRST REWRITE: HAVE JAKE MENTION THAT RICKY WAS HIS BOYFRIEND, BECAUSE, UM, THAT WAS TOTALLY FUCKING OBVIOUS TO EVEN ME AND I HAVE, LIKE, NO FANDOM GAYDAR AT ALL. I mean, for God's sake, I still think Dan and Casey were straight (they were don't ruin it for me!!!!!!!!).
-- Guys. Mickey stayed behind because a boy loves him more than Rose. AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.
In conclusion: the Cybermen were basically creepy fellows, especially since I watched the Confidential last week and it's nice to see that they're not made of people wearing white stockings on their heads and white jumpsuits anymore. I like the idea of alternate realities, and I don't like that we sort of can't go back (sort of. crack in time = accident = IT COULD HAPPEN AGAIN if the writers want) because, well, read my last point and ask me if I like alternate realities. (I kind of wanted Rose to be a famous pop star! Oh, the referential celebrity humor.) I'm glad they didn't kill Mickey completely because, well, that would have been quite traumatic and I've had far too much death-trauma as of late.
Um. Also, Mickey probably heard Rose and the Doctor going at it in the not-story-telling-kind-of-way and then turned to boys. THIS IS CANON.
HEY. Let's talk about how I am once again obsessed with Goren/Eames. I blame that USA commercial with all the clips about how Eames has to put up with Goren and his crazy self, so that I am thusly subjected to "I am an acquired taste" multiple times a day.
