The outfit makes him look like a clown.
Watch out, he'll fucking strangle you.
Did he do that often?

Man the actress who played Peri looked so uncomfortable for that entire scene. I don't blame her.
Oh my.
No thoughts on 8's costume?
It's pretty bad.
This was the attempt at making Doctor Who darker and edgier. This was also Colin Baker's first episode. One can see why his era isn't looked at too fondly.
At least Big Finish redeemed him.

For a Six reference in Nightmare in Silver, maybe he'll get his shoot on.
Or maybe they'll stuff Clara in to some silly spandex getup.

We're doing costumes?
Gotta go with the classic 4. I also don't mind his light brown jacket.
I really like the 5's outfit, celery included. Could really pull the outfit off with or without the hat.
Goddamn ridiculous, but I do like the jacket.
I like the 7's lighter colour scheme. I would seriously wear that sweater vest.
8's is really a blast from the past. A bit too far back in the past. I think it's okay.
I'm a huge fan of his new outfit. Precursor to the 9's u-boat captain look.
9's is awesome for breaking the mold with the older outfits. It's simple and straightforward.
10's brown suit is my favourite of the many variations he's worn. The cream-coloured chucks really complete the look. The coat is awesome. I also like that 10's outfits are actually more than just the colour suit. He mixes his shirts around to blue (pictured) and white, but keeps the chucks consistent to a specific suit (red for the blue suit, cream for the brown). He also occasionally goes tie-less. His hair also went through a change. I liked his hair later on (messy sort-offaux hawk), rather than the earlier style (combed/messy).
11's series 5 look is his best, I think. Huge difference with series 6 is his hair, which is styled and combed down.
Perhaps I'm alone, but I also like his Raggedy Doctor look. I kind of want them to revisit the look (though, not messy) in the future.
The current outfit is cool, too. Makes him look older, more sophisticated. Amy's glasses really complete it.

I want this to be my look. I like this a lot.
That and the long coat he sometimes wore like Jack did.
Do it. Bring back the '80s.Or maybe they'll stuff Clara in to some silly spandex getup.

Thanks to the cruel and unfortunate jokes that genetics have played on my shambling wreck of a body, the ONLY Doctor I could possibly pass as at a costume party or a Halloween event would be the Seventh.
Luckily, he's one of the few that (bar the ridiculous question mark pattern on the sweater) looks like a somewhat normal person. Unlike, say, the Sixth.

What about the Eighth and Ninth Doctor?

I said few, not ONLY.
Nine is pretty much the easiest to dress as: Leather jacket, v-neck shirt. Done. Ten dresses like a normal person most of the time. So does Five (if you get rid of the celery)
Seven's biggest problem are the pants. But if you go with his costume from Eight's movie, you're in pretty good shape.
(I really like Eight's update for the radio drama covers - but I don't know if that should count since we haven't actually SEEN HIM onscreen wearing that stuff. Hopefully that changes)
But again, my problem is that I'm short and not particularly thin. Or blond. So basically, I can go with Two, or I can do Seven. That's about it.

The 6th Doctor's look really grew on me. I think it does fit his character. Especially liked the cloak he wore in Revelation of the Daleks.

Revelation is a pretty good expression of everything the Sixth Doctor and his era could have been but very rarely managed to pull off.

Ugh. Just missed out on Prom tickets. EBay it is, then.
I am a such a big fan of Tom's burgundy outfit that I have my own cobbled together version of the costume I wear out to conventions because dammit, nobody reps the burgundy.
I understand it is the first step to the uniform trend that made a lot of JNT's run look quite stupid, but I love this thing.
I also love Matt's green coat

I've owned almost that exact coat for like 15 years, so I did rather enjoy seeing it show up as a Doctor outfit.
We're half an hour into it.

Brilliant! Not quite as good as The Doctor's Wife but absolutely brilliant regardless! Gaiman really is fantastic.
Lots of lovely new arrangements of the Series 2 Cyberman theme!
New Cybermen look great. Still not really clear what Cybermen these were - but the two standing ones in the museum bit were, it is worth noting, Cybus ones, 100%. The first time that design has appeared since The Next Doctor. The one playing Chess had a non-Cybus symbol on his chest, like the ones from Closing Time... so Mondas and 'Pete's World' Cybermen merged together after time, perhaps? Makes it a bit interesting as it means in old Who stories with the Mondas Cybermen there were still Pete's World Cybermen out there, and the two were probably aware of each other.

Best episode of the series so far!

Pretty good. Smart move to keep the kids out of commission for most of it given how fucking annoying that girl was.
Also the Cybermen can now move at superspeed, adapt to any weakness automatically, convert people via bugs, turn their heads, detach and automate limbs at will... D:

Yeah, if I have one criticism, it's that they probably went a bit too far. Every time there was another new 'thing' I was thinking "that has to be it, surely?!" This episode is hard to judge, though... it'll be nice to eventually see them in a sort of all-out-combat scenario, ala Doomsday, to see how that gets handled!
Also -- so, he does fancy her a bit, evidently! Hmm.

Think of it this way- they're now on the same level as the Daleks, except they specialise in defence rather than offence. The Daleks have the better weaponry, the Cyberment have the constantly evolving defences, and they can both make the enemy their puppets.
About time, really.
Wait, so where can we watch the prequel?

It was on the red button when the episode finished. I assume it'll be on youtube soon enough.
I agree it's about time the Cybermen got an upgrade to at least get them up to speed with the Daleks.

Was it just me then who thought that was a bit dull? There really wasn't anything to elevate it above your average new Who episode, the Cybermen weren't in the least bit scary, the plot resolutions were pretty bad (
), the story was your bog standard 'human outpost thinks monsters are dead, monsters come back, invasion thwarted by convenient means at last minute', no particularly witty or memorable dialogue... just pretty flat overall for me. It didn't need to reinvent the wheel, but certainly didn't need to stick so vehemently to such a well-worn formula either.
For the record, I say all that as someone who considers The Doctor's Wife one of the best episodes of Who classic and new.
would a super-intelligent, chess master AI really be so easily fooled by the Doctor's distraction scheme?
