Doctor Who Season 2: Episodes 5 & 6: Cybermen

While the Daleks were always Doctor Who's greatest enemy, I think it's the Cybermen that were actually the coolest, scariest villians.

The problem in the original series is that they were handicapped by poor storylines and a poorer weakness (gold/goldust). And as time rolled on, Doctor Who apologists argued that the reason the Daleks were greater antogonists is that they weren't handicapped by a lack of emotions and therefore were creative and able to come up with new and imaginitive ways to pester the universe. The Cybermen, devoid of emotion and imagination were always logical to a fault. It wasn't until the new series that we truly see both enemies to their full potential. Awesome as they are.

There is a lot going on in this two part episode. And I can't really talk about any of it without giving something away. Simply put, the doctor faces the Cybermen again, they are awesome, he eventually triumphs.

This season keeps getting better. And I think it's far superior to last season, although I still think Eccleston was a superior Doctor. This season's episodes are just better thought out and written. Both eps get an A+.
