This is a perfect Example of a Story, which I respect more than I actually like.
I am more than grateful of what it introduces and there are PLENTY of Bits, I really like, it’s not like I don’t like this Story, just don’t love it.
On the positives, the Cybermen are at their Peak, their Design scary, their Voices terrifying, and their Goal fits perfectly with them. Their presence gives this one a superb eerie Feeling. The first Regeneration Scene is done so well, and I quite like how suddenly it all happens with the Doctor just acting weird, collapsing and becoming a whole new Man. Hartnells Speech about Emotions is one of the Show’s best and shows how great of an Actor he really was. And yet there is just something missing for me to elevate this one further. Of course, the Fact that his Presence is on ultimate low here doesn’t help much the matter to make it a really satisfying Ending for this Era of the Show. It’s really hard to articulate it, as I said it does have PLENTY of Things which makes it a GOOD Story, but it’s still very far away from being a great Story.
