So, when I was a kid, my dad took me to see Gremlins. I think I was... oh, 6 or 7, depending on what time of year it came out.

Then came the nightmares. A year of recurrent nightmares that woke me up screaming every few nights.

I mention this because the nightmare was remarkably similar to that icon. Except it was Gizmo, and Spike came out of his mouth, and then Gizmo came out of Spike's mouth, ad infinitum.

And so? That icon freaks me the fuck out.

The Cyberman have really only been in a couple of good stories in 40 years (I can think of maybe 3; 'Tomb of the Cyberman', 'The 5 Doctors' and arguably 'Earthshock'). The new series has its work cut out for it, even before it gets to Borg comparisons. What more can be said about them?

New Cyberman looks reminiscient of Ultimate Iron Man.

Not surprising given that Bryan Hitch was involved in both…

Is it a compliment or an insult that I can't see a significant difference?

FWIW I watched the originals.

Tad before my time I'm afraid :).

Ultimate Iron Man dates back all the way to 2000...

Nooo! Specifically remininiscent of the designs for _Ultimate_ Iron Man, a character who dates back to the year 2000, and was designed by Bryan Hitch, who also worked as design consultant for the recent series of Dr Who...
