The Doctor (Second Doctor) and companions Jamie and Victoria soon discover the Cybermen are not as dormant as they seem. The narrative focuses on the struggle for survival as the Cybermen seek to convert the humans into their own kind. Review (Based on Summary): Classic Cybermen Encounter: This serial features the classic design of the Cybermen as the main threat. This could be a highlight for fans of these iconic enemies. Unearthing a Threat: The discovery of an ancient evil adds an element of mystery and suspense to the story. Limited Character Development (Based on Summary): The summary doesn't give much detail about the development of the Doctor, Jamie, or Victoria in this serial. Possible Weaknesses (Considering Limited Information): Classic Who's Production Values: Special effects in classic Doctor Who were limited by the era's technology. The depiction of the Cybermen and the tomb setting might not be as realistic by modern standards. Slow Pacing: Classic Doctor Who sometimes featured a slower narrative pace compared to modern iterations. Overall Thoughts (Limited Scope): "The Tomb of the Cybermen" presents a classic Doctor Who experience with the Cybermen as the antagonists. The unearthing of an ancient threat adds intrigue. However, the potential for dated special effects and slower pacing could be drawbacks. Would I Recommend Watching It? For Fans of Classic Doctor Who: 6/10 (Likely worth watching if you enjoy stories with the Second Doctor and the Cybermen. The unearthing of an ancient threat offers a unique twist) For Fans of Modern Doctor Who: 4/10 (The Cybermen and the concept of an ancient evil might hold some interest, but the potential for dated effects and slower pace could be less appealing) Here are some additional points to consider that might help you decide: If possible, try to find reviews that mention the special effects used for the Cybermen and the tomb setting. This can help you gauge how they might hold up today. Classic Doctor Who had a different style than the modern series. If you're new to classic Who, consider watching other stories featuring the Second Doctor to get a feel for the era's aesthetics and storytelling before diving into "The Tomb of the Cybermen". I hope this helps! While "The Tomb of the Cybermen" features classic elements that fans might enjoy, the potential for dated production values is a consideration. -- Member - Liberal International This is doctor@nk.ca Ici doctor@nk.ca Yahweh, King & country!Never Satan President Republic!Beware AntiChrist rising!
