DOCTOR WHO REWATCH: SERIES TWO, EPISODE FIVE: “RISE OF THE CYBERMEN”
The Cybermen are back… and so is Pete Tyler. Oh my!
Doctor Who: 1x05: “Rise of the Cybermen” Written by Tom MacRae
The Summary: (In Brief)
The TARDIS, containing the Doctor, Rose and Mickey, falls
through a crack in time, and the group ends up in an alternate universe London,
where Pete Tyler and Mickey’s grandmother never died. The Tylers are rich, but without Rose (as a
human at least), and Mickey’s alternate universe version is a wanted criminal
and leader of a group called the Preachers, who believe the population’s
reliance on technology has endangered them all.
This is a legitimate fear as Lumic, who apparently owns everything, has
created the Cybermen, an old-school Doctor Who villain. While Mickey’s getting mixed up with the
Preachers, Rose and the Doctor crash the Jackie 2.0’s birthday party, which is
promptly attacked by the Cybermen. With
the Preacher’s (alt-Mickey!Rickey, Jake Simmonds, and Mrs. Moore) help, Mickey,
Rose, the Doctor and Pete Tyler escape the house – Jackie 2.0 is trapped – but
quickly become surrounded by the Cybermen.
The Women:

The Woman to Woman Quote of the Episode:
“You’re the help.” – Jackie Tyler 2.0 to Rose Tyler
Completely thrilled by the fact that both her parents are alive, Rose thinks the universe they’ve landed in is by far a better universe than her own, until Jackie says this to her, revealing that though both Jackies take their tea in the same fashion, they are not the same woman at all.

DOCTOR WHO REWATCH: SERIES TWO, EPISODE SIX: “AGE OF STEEL”
The Cybermen are back… and so is Pete Tyler. Oh my!
Doctor Who: 1x06: “Age of Steel” Written by Tom MacRae
The Summary: (In Brief)
Picking up where we left off in “Rise of the Cybermen,” the
Doctor, Rose, Mickey and their new team of ragtag heroes are surrounded by
Cybermen; the Doctor tries to convince the Cybermen to allow them to surrender,
but the Cybermen decide to “delete” the group anyway. Obviously, they can’t all die, so they manage
to escape. Jackie 2.0 doesn’t and is
brought to Cybus Industries’ warehouse to be assimilated. While running away, Pete Tyler reveals he’s
been feeding the Preachers information for months; they split up to get away
from the Cybermen, and since “splitting up” is synonymous with “this is how
people die,” Rickey, Mickey’s universe double, is killed by a Cyberman. The gang reconvenes and Jake is rather pissed
that Rickey died and Mickey lived. They
quickly split up again to break into the warehouse via three directions. Rose goes with Pete to try saving Jackie; the
Doctor and Mrs. Moore go into the tunnels beneath the warehouse, and Jake and
Mickey go to the roof/zeppelin-on-the-roof to stop the signal to the earbuds
controlling the people of London to give themselves to the Cybermen for
assimilation. Again, they split up so
this time it’s Mrs. Moore (real name: Angela Price) who dies. Rose and Pete are captured by the Cyberman
created from Jackie; the Doctor is also captured. It’s up to Mickey and Jake to save everyone,
which they do. Rose and the Doctor head
off in the TARDIS for their own universe, but Mickey chooses to stay and help Jake
destroy the other Cybermen factories around the world.
The Women:
Rose Tyler, Jackie Tyler 2.0, Mrs Moore/Angela Price
The Conversations:
Rose and Mrs. Moore participate in the same conversations,
but they never speak together alone.
The Woman to Woman Quote of the Episode:
Nope.
