The password to the restricted files is Oh look, Islander died whilst posting. Hehe, I was feeling evil. Try 'delete'. Did anyone else try hard not to laugh when, over the screams of the homeless, Lion King came blaring out?

Did anyone else try hard not to laugh when, over the screams of the homeless, Lion King came blaring out? Not really, no... Mickey's "From your kitchen?" line was brillo though. Hey, I gots me Level One Access! Are there other levels, d'you know? I've noticed, as well, that the Torchwood references are more obvious than the Bad Wolf ones were. Which is dissapointing. I wonder if they're going to do one of these every year?

I don't know, but I'd love to find further levels. Try www.unit.org.uk, and go for buffalo. As for the torchwood - I don't know, I think it's just RTD winding us up...

I did see the UNIT website, last year... This is a good'n' too. I do think there's some signifigance in Torchwood... It'll probably tie in with the spin-off somehow.

Looks good - I'll take a proper look around sometime later.
Oh, and I took the test to see if I'm upgradable - apparently I'm not, and will be subject to maximum deletion.
btw, take a look at the latest (or recent) entry on the guestbook of the cybus site...

Wow...
You never realize truly how great those shirts are 'til they're gone.

Which shirts would they be?
Wow. What's the general view on tonight's (well, yesterday's ) show? Mine? Fantastic! Don't have time to go into details, but I loved the whole thing. Cybermen were great. Loved the way the Doctor got Mickey to do exactly what he wanted over the CCTV. Loved the Cyber-Controller. However, what particularly stuck out for me was the scene with Sally, the Cyberman (Cyberwoman? I know they had their emmotions taken away, but their sexuality? That takes it a bit far !). I thought it was so tragic - had to keep reminding myself it's fiction. To hear such a cold, abbrasive metalic voice going "Why's it so cold...", and talking about a wedding that was to be was devastating. Really was. What a scene...

Which shirts would they be? C'm'on, you can't possibly deny that Mickey's shirts have been excellent this series. I first noticed with his NES shirt, but it seems that all of his shirts have been fabberoo in hindsight. I'll be watching my old DVDs soon, to take special note of the shirts de la shirts of the shirts de la shirts. And I'll give my non-shirt related input tommorow, as I'm far too tired right now.

I know... I was sitting there thinking 'that's so sad...' but the mood was lightened by Debra's manic laughter behind me... apparently metalic voices saying 'it's so cold' are funny... Overall it was a brilliant episode. I'm gutted that there won't be any more Mickey, but I suppose it makes sense for him to stay.

The Cybus Coporation's website has been grafettied, and the countdown hs started again... I just thought, those outside the UK may not have had the pleasure of seeing a Cyberman. Well, here you go:

I love the eyes when they're close up. The little round notches at the bottom on the outsides look a bit like tears to me... Quite appropriate, I think.

Indeed they do - in fact that was the idea od the 'oil-duct' design. The Cybermen are sad creatures...

I tought they had no emotions...

They have an emotional supressor device or something, but if that's removed they have normal human emotions (because they're essentially human brains in a metal body). It's how the Doctor defeated them in the last episode - by working out that to get rid of the emotional surpressor, they would self destruct becuse their human minds couldn't cope with the horror of what had become of them.
