Doctor Who: 5 Worst And 5 Best Cybermen Stories
The Cybermen. The Borg before they got big, basically. Originally from the planet Mondas, a twin of Earth, they began adding little cybernetic bits here and there onto their bodies, trying to make themselves better. But it got away from them, as happens in science fiction, and they lost their humanity, becoming remorseless, cold, machines. Or, alternatively, they were made by some guy in an alternate reality where zeppelins are still a thing. Pick your poison. Either way, they traveled through space, and occasionally time, assimilating various races. The interesting thing is that the Cybermen assumed they were the good guys. After all, they were freeing people from pain and misery and giving them a new existence. What could possibly be wrong with that? The Cybermen return this weekend in Nightmare in Silver. We dont know yet if the upcoming story will be good or bad, of just simply meh. But we do know about the quality of previous stories. Lets have a look at the five best and worst of the Cybermen stories! Oh, and be it noted that I havent yet seen The Tenth Planet, so I cannot comment on that one. On with the list!
