From the mouths of children
Mummy? Why are they Cybermen? Why not CyberPeople? Where are the CyberWomen?
This is from my 7 yr old. We’re watching the reruns of the new Doctor Who on BBC3. Tonight was the first of the new Cybermen.
I didn’t go into a full political discussion about how the cybermen are a symbol of an oppressive system and the insistence on "You will become like us or you will be deleted." is a parallel to the world we live in now. Neither did I discuss the parallels between the world of John Lumic and the way we are destroying our planet with our greed and evergrowing consumerism.
