Rise of the Cybermen

[caliente_uk]

I think I'll probably have more to say about this episode after I've seen the second part next week. I thought that it was a good, strong ep...and I'm liking Mickey more and more each week. I've always liked the actor who plays him, but his character is growing on me more and more. It was great to finally get some Mickey backstory. I have to admit I teared up a little in the scene with his Grandmother. So much guilt and heartache there!

I'm still loving David Tennant as the Doctor. It doesn't hurt that he's so pretty to look at either! DT in a tux. What more could a girl ask for? *sigh* Well...except for JM in a tux, of course (you lucky, lucky LA people!). *g*

I have to admit that I'm missing Captain Jack. I know we're going to be seeing him in Torchwood (and yay for more Torchwood references this week), but I'm missing his interactions with Rose and the Doctor. He was the totally unexpected highlight of S1 for me and I'm missing him so much more than I thought I would.

I also have to say that even though Roger Lloyd Pack makes an excellent villain, I can't help but think of Trigger from "Only Fools And Horses" every time I see him. I think he will always be Trigger to me...and I will always remember him calling Rodney "Dave" every time he saw him. Hee! :D



So that's it for this week. More on the story as a whole next Saturday. :)
