Why? It's Doctor Who.
Cybermen have been in Doctor Who since 1966!

Why? It's Doctor Who.
Cybermen have been in Doctor Who since 1966!
Right, but I didn't know that they were slated to make a come back. For instance, the Daleks have been "destroyed," but it would be a bit of a bummer if I found out a year in advance that they would be back.
Anywho, I am really not that concerned about spoilers to be honest (with regards to "Dr. Who" that is; otherwise spoilers are my only pet peeve). I mean we all know that there are ten doctors and that anything can happen in inner time, so being a fan is really about just watching the episodes rather than being surprised about how things unfold.
If I might wax philosophically (btw... I AM DRUNK!!!!), I think the charm of "Dr. Who" is its inconsistencies. Whenever a show, movie, novel, comic book, deals with time travel, it seems that there are two possibile approaches: 1) to be logically rigorous and ensure that there are no paradoxes or 2) to say FUCK IT, time travel is weird and strange things happen, if you can't keep up well that is your problem.
"Dr. Who" steers into the curve and doesn't try to explain why things don't add up at the end of the day. Ergo, spoilers aren't that big of a deal....
BTW.... did i mention that I am drunk.

Well, Marvel artist Bryan Hitch (Authority, Ultimates, JLA) is the art designer for the new series. So, what did you expect? There are alot of comic homages in this new series. Check out "The Empty Child/Doctor Dances" from Season One for Rose's 'Jenny Sparks' outfit, for instance...

Well, also it's not like they kept the Cybermen secret either.
It's the main page at the Doctor Who main site.

Absolutely. That's also what I love about the show. It gives you just enough continuity to hang a hat on. But, in the end, it just goes on its merry, crazy little course, and says fuck the rules. It's time travel. There are BOUND to be inconsistencies and paradoxes. Not to mention, patchworking a continuity of a forty-year show must be an impossible task, in the end.
So, Randall, what did you think of the latest two-parter on Sci-Fi? The Moffat written "Empty Child/Doctor Dances" two-parter?

I Tivo'ed part two but I haven't had a chance to watch it yet. Part One was good. The little boy in the gas mask was kinda creepy and it felt more like some of the old Tom Baker episodes that I have been watching recently. Plus, I am interested to learn more about "Captain Jack."
I'll write more this afternoon, when Ihave had a chance to watch part two.

Ok, I didn't like alot of the writing in this episode. First was Davros-lite.
Secoond was being an alternate reality these were not true Cybermen.
Third was that they were more Dalek then Cybermen even giving them "delete!" to the Dalek "exterminate!".
The acting was decent except for Davros-lite who was over the top.

That guy used to be in Only Fools and Horses playing the idiotic road-sweeper.
But I concur, his acting sucked. It was also painful to see Don Warrington, a frequent on the Grumpy Old Men show. You can't be a Grumpy Old Man who complains about everything and still make cameo's on Dr. Who, its just not proper. 
That Byker Grove reject who presents Children's TV was also a slap in the face [the resistance punk]. I want real actor's, not bargain basement variations.
And was it just me who found the Cyber-men completely non-threatening? They were so slow and didn't even have projectile weapons. An old lady could have out-paced them. 
I need to go back and watch the Eccleston series, because this new guy just ain't doing it for me.

Not to be rude, but I disagree with you on almost every major front here. Of course, it's a matter of opinion.
I'll admit, Davros/Lumic was a pain, and the one thing that spoilt it for me, but even he had good bits. And He was much more effective as the Cyber Controller than as his human form.
Don Warrington was one of my favourite things about this episode. I really enjoyed his performance in part 1, and he was surprisingly inspiring. Of course, I don't watch Grumpy Old Men, so that may affect it.
Byker Grove (and CBBC, by the way) kid was actually a pleasant surprise. Not terrific, I'll grant you, but he worked well with Mickey/Ricky, and he was better than I affected, after a bad first scene.
And frankly, I was more scared by the Cybermen than I was by the Daleks last series. I thought they were virtually an insult to the old show's Daleks, for reasons that are too lengthy to be discussed here. The Cybermen, on the other hand, were made to look strong, and whilst thier lumbering was as slow as ever I was used to it so it didn't change my opinion.
All in all, I really enjoyed this two parter, and I much prefer David Tennant to Chris Eccleston as a Doctor. Doctor 9 was obviously based on 1 and 6, with the net result that he came across sometimes as someone who didn't want to be there. 10, on the other hand, is very reminiscent of Tom Baker, still the best in my opinion. Plus, so far I've enjoyed every episode, more than can be said for the first 6 episodes of last series, where I was unsatisfied by Rose, largely apathetic to the End of the World, enjoyed The Unquiet Dead and teh Slitheen 2 parter, and loathed Dalek (pity the mericless killing machine? I think not).

I had my problems with the cybermen as well. I would have prefered them to be a true villian.
Instead they themselves were victims. Oh well.

Logically speaking, after the original Mondasians, pretty much every Cyberman was a victim ...

Besides the new series with doctors 9 & 10 on Sci-Fi, does anybody know if any of the old shows are shown on TV in the US? If so, what time and station?

Well Not really, If you cut out the last 5 min of the Episode. And rewrite the Script for the thing in the TV so it doesn't so closely resemble the script of Audrey II from little shop of horrors then the episode was pretty good.
FEED ME!!

I loved it. Classic style show, for all sorts of reasons. The wire was great, the faceless people were creepy. The episode had one flaw: The stupid boy-dad storyline thing, but even that didn't spoilt it too much. And thw Wire's script resembled Audrey II's? Other than the feed me stuff, they were nothing alike.
OOK OOK ACK EEK!
