Dr Who? Cyber-Spoiler pt2

 Im hoping not to make this a habit, but I did make a special effort to watch Dr. Who - part 2 of the Cybermen episode.

I was disappointed for the following reasons.

(a) the ending of the episode was extremely predictable, having already discovered how to destroy the cybermen (via the emotion inhibitor), the remaining 20 minutes of the episode played out exactly as expected.

(b) the obvious cost involved with the costumes overwhelmed the limited plot, which required embellishment to make it watchable

(c) the episode also had nothing new to say

(d) the cliffhanger ending of episode 1 was cast aside, almost forgotten

I hope this is the last time I comment on the series, as generally it is watchable, clever, entertaining and well acted. Im surprised how quickly Christopher Eccleston has been forgotten.
