Review of Closing Time by presidentdisastra

1 April 2025

A fun and silly story about the Doctor being old and sad, speaking baby, and relearning hope. And also the cybermen are there. I do like the shop setting as a backdrop for both humor and turning the everyday creepy. The cybermat is appropriately goofy for something that first appeared as a tube with googly eyes. I don't even particularly mind the Doctor-taken-for-gay jokes because he is equally confused about and oblivious to all romantic implications.

It's nothing mind-blowingly impressive, just a light story, which is fine. I don't like Amy being a famous model, though. If they had to do that an author would tie in better later, but they didn't have to do it at all.
