A Post Before the Year Ends

I had intended this to be proper, thought-provoking and stirring blog about....something. It was probably going to be the recent Doctor Who Christmas Special: Time of the Doctor, or more specifically Handles- the best companion we didn't see enough of-am I right?! Right?







Let me just say, I've quite honestly had the image of a Cyberman's head attached to the TARDIS Console burned into my brain since I first discovered (and fell in love with) the Cybermen. It didn't help that back in 2010 this particular image was making the rounds on the web:





Oh, River Song, your so kind to give that poor unfortunate Cyber-Head a lift! It would seem to be a deleted scene....get it? DELETED?! No? Just me then. Anyway, the idea of a decapitated Cyber-Head (I'm calling them that now, okay?) isn't new. Check out this classic scene from The Five Doctors:




How come the Raston Warrior Robot hasn't made a return?! That thing is awesome!

Oh, and Matt Smith's era is now at an end, which is sad, I'd hoped he stick around just a bit longer. I enjoyed his and Clara's dynamic. But never mind that! Doesn't Peter Capaldi look set to rock your socks clean off?!

Until the Cybermen adopt Gloria Gaynor's 1978 hit song as there mantra, I remain

frogoat
