Just print them all off in full colour
Dude so crazy you've almost reviewed every episode. That's really impressive! You absolutely need to make a compilation video of every review in order when you are finished.
A full complete Dr who Ranking video. Worst to Best
A compilation would be funny to see because it’s mostly just 4/10’s for Moffat and Chibnal’s eras
Apparently, this episode was going to be a 2 parter and have Victorian Nanny Clara along with the 2 children she looked after, but plans change
I think the best cyberman episode is the World Enoght and Time and The Doctor Falls. It really felt like a horror story where everyone dies.
Those two are definitely among of the best at least from Nu Who. They restore the original body horror of the Cybermen in that, where they are basically walking human cadavers kept animated by medical implants. Most of the New series turn them into Ironman suits of armour with no human body left inside, and that takes a lot of the creepy factor away from them.
@@lesigh1749 True!
I really quite like this episode. Downside is the kids, but the setting, Mr. Clever, Warwick Davis' character and the stakes of the story all keep me entertained
I honestly thought I was in the minority for liking this episode and that you were going to gut it like a fish but that 7/10 is exactly how I rate it too and everything you said, I’ve said in its defence. Moffat couldn’t write the Cybermen so he should’ve tied Gaiman down to a deal to write a multi-series arc starting with Nightmare in Silver that truly expanded the lore of the Cyber Wars, culminating in him laying the groundwork for a Journey’s End level Cybermen story that had callbacks to multiple episodes and stories prior.
- Right now they have a much better chance of getting out of this situation alive than you do.
- Which one of you said that?
- Me.
That’s probably one of the best moments of the episode if not even the series
Can I point out that Hedgewick's World of Wonders has an stuffed alien blowfish head on display? I know its just the BBC reusing assets but it's a neat touch and reference to Torchwood, I dig it
This is effectively a 10/10 for Harry. Wow! didn't expect that.
Literally the only thing I remember about this episode was the mental battle between the Doctor and his implant... and I always hated it because it felt overreacted, melodramatic, and above all else; pointless.
Literally nothing else about the episode stuck in my memory. Tons of Smith era episodes I hate and remember quite a lot of, but this one? No, just the mental chess battle, maybe the amusement park... and that's it
I agree. Honestly, Smiths era i struggle with when rewatching the show . I dunno…it just feels off to me after series 5. The brighter grading, eh or so music, whimsical feel, I dunno, jjst feels more like im watching a kids spinoff of Doctor who instead of actual Doctor who. Expect Vincent and the Doctor and The Girl Who Waited.
Smith’s decent actor but when he goes really hammy and childish, I look at my watch and wait for him to stop. This episode wasn’t very good to me. Cybermen werent , they just felt ,ike robots, their walk was silly, the voices felt like robotic bale Batman. What makes them scary is the body horror.
Kids were terrible, kept changing accents nearly every scene.
neil gaiman is one of my fave writers with such dedication to world building and it will forever sadden me we only have two doctor who episodes from him. his works being present throughout my life (doctor who, star dust and coraline being staples of my childhood) while the adaptions of sandman and good omens are present in my adult life. his stories are so gripping and he has such a passion for storytelling i wish more writers had
I love this episode.
Its widely hated.
Im surprised you liked it.
The child actors were so cringey to me I haven’t watched this again since it was on TV 😂 might have to give it a rewatch to appreciate the writing a bit more 🤷🏻♂️
Nightmare in Silver would have been good if it was built from the fallout of the animated 6th doctor episode Real Time
God I love the Cybermen and this ep really solidified that love
Just a suggestion! If you want more content, having a sort of re-review of the series 8-10 episodes you covered would be great since it's been so long and you might have a changed perspective
14:25 This is a reference to Classic Who- one of the 2nd Doctor serials is literally called "Tomb of the Cybermen", and it is about a hidden sleeping colony of Cybermen being woken up.
It's basically one of the Cybermen's "things".
The army barracks set is so obviously the same army barracks set from The Doctor's Daughter.
The Mr. Clever character and Smith's interactions with himself made this episode great. Honestly we need another episode (or maybe even an Arc) where the doctor (or someone controlling him) is the villain like this again! Similar to the Dream Lord in Amy's Choice - the Doctor as his own enemy and the highlighting of the Doctors darker side works so well.
Just a shame the kids are here - thankfully they don't do too much as the episode goes on. So lame.
a positive matt smith and jenna coleman episode review? damn
I HATE this episode. Glad to see a different opinion tho.
Why can't we get a new Cyberman story set DURING the Cyber Wars instead of after it in stories like this or Ascension to the Cybermen? Maybe because the writers are hesitant to directly acknowledge the body horror behind the concept.
I don’t mind the episode; but it’s always a letdown when you see armies of villains beaten so easily.
The Doctor thinks... better by thoughts than a war!
3:00 Oh my god the moons form a cyberman eye
Would you be reviewing The Time of the Doctor at some point?
But the irony that porridge could have got them all out RIGHT FROM THE VERY BEGINNING!!!!
After this episode the kids and their dad NEVER SHOW UP AGAIN!!! Where were they during the whole danny pink crap?
I love how the crew were like “how do we make the Cybermen more threatening?”
“Anyone seen TNG recently?”
They rated Silver ONE STAR?? It's one of the best New Who I think. It's also what we would not have in American sci-fi
I'm wondering once you're done with the last episode of you'll review each season as a whole?
was that a hobo johnson reference at the end there???
goated episode and your ad read was smooth as hell
This is actually a really good ad
Oh boy, this’ll be interesting.
I hate it when the Doctor is put into a situation like this where he is possessed by the villain(s) of the story... unless it is Whittaker's Doctor!
yeah
A surprising result to be sure
But a pleasant one
The worst part about this episode for me was a few throwaway instances of WTF god-tier technology that the human empire apparently has. A single bomb that can implode an entire galaxy? A space drive that can basically teleport a ship to the other side of the universe in seconds? Not even the Timelords or Daleks at the height of the time war have this level of technology.
For the ship engine point, my head canon is that species with temporal capabilities find that type of tech to be pointless as they'd presumably be able to subvert it through using time travel to arrive at whatever destination they need to only seconds after leaving (alternatively, Nightmare In Silver is at a point in the Timeline where Humanity has access to time travel in some form and has a basic version of it to subvert distance issues). For the galaxy sized destruction, we have little context behind the build up (eg: it could have been a desperate measure that took decades to build) and since Davros was able to build something hypothetically able to destroy ALL OF REALITY, it's possible that the Daleks or Time Lords had similar tech during the Time War.
Dude I hadn’t lost the game in so long til now. Nice one 😤
oh I loved this episode as a kid
I loved the episode except I was put off by the kids to be quite honest.
STOP REMINDING ME ABOUT THE GAME 😭😭
Surprised this got at 7/10 tbh!
Coma-toast?
I like Nightmare in Silver
The only real issue I had with this episode was the kids tbh.
Mwahahaha. You have fallen into my trap, for now I have all the knowledge of Doctor Who without having to watch it!
This review makes me totally believe Harry is such a contrarian lol
Doctor Who finally got too PC to bear. David Tennant was the last really good Doctor.
Yes it did suck.
One of worst cyber men stories ever
Even back then every black female had to be strong and smart and completely flawless.
