Neil Gaiman returns! The Cybermen return! It's the penultimate episode of the season! What could go wrong? Everything! After Gaiman's amazing last story The Doctor's Wife, expectations were high for his follow up. The return of the Cybermen under his pen held so much promise. The new design looked great; leaner, faster, deadlier. But the story is a mess, the Cybermen aren't scary at all, and the argument inside the Doctor's head is confusing. For someone who knows the history and lore of Doctor Who, Gaiman didn't use much more than an inch of it. It would have been a wonderful anniversary treat to really mine the Cybermen's rich history and and brought someone new to the characters.
