Just D/Led & watched "Age of Steel" with James (yay! pretty!) and now wanted to read everyone's lj posts about the ep.

but none of you bitches have MADE any! rectify this now, pls - tell me what you thought!

Was Mickey's staying in the parallel universe utterly predictable?

Was Mrs Moore clearly introduced in order to reoccur in Torchwood? (Thank James for that one: he's clearly right, neh?)

Was emotionally torturing the cybermen to death just a little, umm, cruel & unusual? Also, what actually HAPPENED? did emotions just make their brains explode? Cuz you don't see that happening in the street every day...

I think it was the delayed shock of their realising that they'd had their brains cut out and put into metal behemoths, and possibly the incredibly hideous feeling of having a hideous metal body thing. I'm not so sure about the exploding heads, though - I reckon that was a suicide, which is probably much easier if you're made of wires and things.

And of course it was cruel and unusual - did you notice the reference to Genesis of the Daleks in there? When Four had the chance to wipe out the Daleks, he said "Have I the right?", and put the wires down and didn't do it - Ten asks "Can I do that?", which is quite different, and then does it anyway, while manipulating Mickey remotely. More fuel for my theory that 10=7, dammit.

It was... interesting... I'm glad Mickey's gone, he annoyed me, but yeah, I thought the emotional torture to death thing was a little... harsh... I'm not really enough of a DW expert to say how in/out of character it was, but it seemed massively ruthless...

*happily ships Micky/Jake* Oh like they aren't off to have lots of sex in Paris. What happened to fixing his gran's carpet? I don't know, youth today, dropping care of elderly relatives at the first offer of a dirty weekend somewhere foreign.

i found Mickey really, really annoying up till now - then just when he starts to grow some spine and become likeable, they write him out !

Mrs. Moore <shrug> maybe, maybe not - we'll have to wait and see...

i must say, i'm narked that Torchwood's only going to be showing on BBC3 <sulk>
