When this one first aired the fans either loved it or hated it. A number of fans got upset by how the Doctor acted (more about that in the spoilers). I really liked this one. I found the writing to be snappy and the explanation of why these events happened was very nicely done.
I so want to recreate the clockwork men of this piece. I know how I would do the costume but I don't have a few of the skills needed to really kick it up to the next level. That and I don't have a 10th Doctor body type in my group of people I call on for costumes (which is really the easier problem to solve really). If I can solve my mechanical problem then I might do this one within the next year.
Mickey's first trip on the TARDIS gives him a taste of what life is like with the Doctor and he proves himself up to the challenge. Probably the biggest journey this season is Mickey's. Rose gets to show Mickey how they do things with the Doctor and I find it interesting how Rose acts and reacts to what she is seeing around her. She no longer has the Doctor to herself and she knows that she is not the only person that has been in the Doctor's life. This is re-emphasized by the events of this episode.
Next week "Rise of the Cybermen" and as the tag line in the adverts in England said This ain't your Daddy's Cybermen. Just FYI this one is a two parter which does leave you with one of those cliffhangers.
I am grateful that SciFi didn't cut the end of this episode.
