Thank you, genuinely, for such a thought through reply.

Partly I'm just throwing thoughts into the ether, but also it's genuinely interesting to see how different people interpret what feels like such a simple image.

Oh that's an interesting point about the empty eyes; that had never occurred to me.

And, well, I do use emoticons - ascii only - quite a lot, but I assumed that just made me look like someone who's been online for so long that they pre-date emojis...

I'm very unfamiliar with the politics around all of this... but I'm assuming the cybermen are going to be retconned into the bright new right-thinking future of humanity now?

Heh, thank you, especially as my last investigation of an error went from text along the lines "profile is null" to a final condition of "this app stopped being developed a couple of years ago, you need to install a different one".

Yes - what an interesting idea :) I assume it's relatively cheap too as it would re-use the same sets, and the aliens would be made up humans with the occasional puppet?

But also a space station gives you a lot more scope than an earth hospital for storylines? Good luck :)
