Well, not everyone assimilated into the cyber-men have to be the same height.

I was going to say they removed your brain or whatever and put it in the cyber-body, but then I remembered these were supposed to be Mondas Cybermen, which do assimilate.
[QUOTE=DohEntertainmen;39318768]Well, not everyone assimilated into the cyber-men have to be the same height.[/QUOTE]
Technically yes, but I assume the main Cyberman mechanical platform is manufactured to certain specifications, back in the Lumic "Genesis" period when the platform was essentially a "preserving cradle" for the human brain. But with the different iterations they've been converting the entire body rather than just the brain, possibly due to rushed "recruitment drives" to make up for lost numbers, so yes these ones probably are "allowed" to be different heights.
Speaking of Cybermen and the brain-removal, you never really see what happens to the bodies after the brain has been removed. Makes sense since this is a "family show"; one could expect a grittier more "in-depth" visceral perception of the byproducts of cyber-conversion from a show like Torchwood, but not mainline Doctor Who. Also the wasted meat was probably incinerated afterwards anyway.
Also, speaking of wasted meat, would a Doctor Who episode based around something like Soylent Green and/or To Serve Man be borderline acceptable, or is the "humanitarian diet" such a visceral subject that it's best left to a show like Torchwood to try and tackle?
Ohh I forgot that detail.

Torchwood had it's chance.

Well you do have a point there, but it WAS during the time when RTD was executive producer, and Chris Chibnall was the guy who wrote it. The episode didn't go too deep into the horrors of the Cybermen, since it was a single half-converted unit, though to be fair it did involve Ianto trying to help his girlfriend get better, even if it brought about misfortune for the team and others.
Best part..

Torchwood. Land of missed potential. One year of brilliance. More missed potential.

They're actually a very well trained acapella band about to perform.
You are now imagining seven Cybermen singing acapella style.
And it is awesome.
just finished series 5
eh
I don't like Matt Smith as much as I liked Christopher Eccelston and David Tennant, but he's the Doctor so I still love him :v:
Just finished the first episode of the 2005 series. It's definitely going to be different from the shows I'm used to watching but I think I'll enjoy it.

Ceeeeelebrate good times come on!
River Song: It's my birthday. The Doctor took me ice skating on the River Thames in 1814. The last of the great frost fairs. He got Stevie Wonder to sing for me under London Bridge.
Rory: Stevie Wonder sang in 1814?
River Song: Yes, he did! But you must never tell him.
Rory: I've come from the Doctor too.
River Song: Yes, but at a different point in time.
Rory: [B]Unless there's two of them. [/B]
River Song: [B]No, that's a whole different birthday.[/B]
-A Good man goes to war
A 50th birthday?

Note: It could also just be a rude joke on Rivers part. I mean imagine if you had two of your husband/wife on your birthday.
But let's pretend it's not.
I wish the show wasn't bouncing on and off the air for Clara's introduction and potentially entire run.
7a-Christmas.
Christmas-7b.
7b-Anniversary.
With her story most likely being wrapped up after the next eight. Good news about March, though.
ETA: The National Television Awards are on. It will be a couple of years until we know how Doctor Who does because Dermot O'Leary has to drag it out a bit now that it's gone all X-Factor.
Best Male: Colin Morgan
Best Female: Miranda Hart
Best Drama: Downton Abbey
God bless Martin Freeman for another perfect reaction. Until it's available, we can use last year's:

On the Television awards the clip for Doctor Who was aliens all over a Victorian house.
In the Downton Abbey clip on the same length they played cricket it slow motion outside a Victorian house
Obviously Downton won. Clearly has the best drama.
Aha, we have them.
DOWNTON ABBEY WINS!

Also after they played the clip from Sherlock Martin was sitting looking bored. Then he realised it had cut to him so began clapping over enthusiastically.
He's far too funny.
