Ep 2. The Tomb of the Cybermen (2)

The Tomb of the Cybermen (2) is the second episode of the fifth season of Doctor Who. The episode follows the Doctor, his companion Victoria and two scientists, Parry and Klieg, as they investigate a newly discovered tomb on the planet Telos. The tomb is believed to be the resting place of the Cybermen, a race of highly advanced, cyborg-like creatures, long thought extinct.

The team encounters a group of archaeologists who are also interested in the tomb, but are quickly revealed to be working with Klieg to revive the Cybermen. Klieg sees the Cybermen as the perfect army to conquer the universe and seeks to control them with a doomsday weapon he has developed.

As the Doctor and his companions explore the tomb, they discover that it is not just a resting place for the Cybermen, but also a trap designed to lure unsuspecting victims in, freeze them, and turn them into Cybermen. The team must fight their way through hordes of Cybermen and stop Klieg's plan before it is too late.

Throughout the episode, the Doctor shows his trademark intelligence and wit as he outsmarts the Cybermen and foils Klieg's plans. Victoria, in her first adventure with the Doctor, is initially overwhelmed by the danger they face, but learns to rely on her own courage and resourcefulness to help save the day. Parry and Klieg provide contrasting views on the nature of scientific discovery, with Parry motivated by a desire for knowledge and Klieg driven by a thirst for power.

The Tomb of the Cybermen (2) is a classic Doctor Who episode that showcases the show's strengths in storytelling, action, and character development. The Cybermen are a formidable and iconic foe, while the Doctor and his companions provide a human touch to the adventure. With its mix of science fiction, horror, and humor, this episode is a standout in the long history of Doctor Who.
