Wow... that was truly eerie. And, I imagine, very close to the truth of it.

[fajrdrako]

Yes: such a horrible situation for Ianto.

Thanks for commenting!

Eerily not Lisa...

(And how I wish they'd written it...)

[fajrdrako]

Hmm. I thought that was how they wrote. Well, not from the Cyberwoman's point of view, from Ianto's, so he didn't see it that way.

I find the Cybermen utterly scary - and Lisa as Cyberwoman no less.

[mad_jaks]

I didn't get any continuity out of her in the episode - she was neither wholly 'Lisa trapped-yet-aware' nor 'Cyberwoman manipulating-an-unsuspecting-Ianto'

And I *Love* Cybermen - they are my favourite 'monsters'

[fajrdrako]

As I watched the episode, I progressed from thinking Lisa was "still in there" to realizing she wasn't - that was the most chilling part of it.

Thanks so much! The situation strikes me as terrifiying, which is probably why I like the episode.
