We follow one of the best Dalek stories with one of the best Cybermen stories. Was totally missing, and recovered in 1992. Unlike her first story, Victoria actually has some pic.twitter.com/HLIFqcOkAW

stuff to do here. This one is mostly setup, as a Cybermen doesn't pop up until the end. We do run into an expedition who is here to revive the Cybermen from the titular tombs. pic.twitter.com/HNnldkc7xt

Klieg & Kaftan try and keep the expedition on Telos after a man is killed and Prof Parry wants to go home. They explore the tombs now that they got into the lower levels. pic.twitter.com/ncwYHCUBUv

The later part of this episode contains one of the best scenes in classic Who - the Cybermen emerging from their tombs w/some excellent music, too. #YouShallBeLikeUs pic.twitter.com/9bOqjcMZ1Y

I loved that the Cybermen referred back to The Tenth Planet & The Moonbase, their previous adventures. The Cybermen laid a trap where they needed someone smart to find them. pic.twitter.com/GOPW86Zhrm

I loved that the Cybermen referred back to The Tenth Planet & The Moonbase, their previous stories. The Cybermen plotted to take over all the humans here to become "like us". pic.twitter.com/S2hmkjuT38

This ep has my fav scene ever with Troughton. It's a conversation with Victoria about the death of her father, and how the Doctor can remember his family when he wants to. pic.twitter.com/SScVmUqSD4

Klieg goes more insane trying to bend the Cybermen to his will. The Cybermen end up killing him after the Doctor convinces a brainwashed Toberman to rebel. In the end, the pic.twitter.com/rVD2u9Qnv1

Doctor refreezes and relocks the Tombs. We revisit the Tombs in the Colin Baker era. I always questioned leaving Toberman dead on the ground as everyone walks away. pic.twitter.com/1Akd3UDnLy
