Everything old is new again!
Season 22 kicks off the 6th Doctor's freshman season with the return of a classic monster- the Cybermen. And this story is a sequel of sorts to half a dozen old stories. And, if that wasn't enough, the Doctor fixes the Chameleon Circuit... temporarily. The TARDIS lands back in 76 Totters Lane, of the first episode of Doctor Who. We see the return of Commander Lytton from last season's Dalek story. The Doctor and crew head back to Telos, home of the Tombs of the Cybermen, and we see the Cyber Controller for the first time in 15 years. And apparently the Controller's been dipping into the box of cyber chocolates a bit too much over the years. Basically they threw everything including the kitchen sink into this one.
The Doctor seems to have calmed down after his manic regeneration. We also see his relationship with Peri reach a baseline for this season with her chasing him around in heels, whining about everything. Where when the 5th Doctor and Tegan argued, the Doctor was quiet about it. The arguing between the 6th Doctor and Peri seems louder and more bombastic, as the 6th Doctor is. And while I adore the 6th Doctor and this stage of his relationship with Peri is now classic, I do enjoy the point when they actually act like friends and good traveling companions.
