YMMV / Doctor Who S28 E6 "The Age of Steel"

• Complete Monster: John Lumic. See that page for details.
• Fridge Brilliance: The reason for the Cliffhanger Copout with the Doctor pretending to surrender and waiting until the Cybermen were ready to kill them before utilizing the TARDIS tech? He was expecting the Cybermen to reject their surrender, and was using it to make sure his companions (mainly the Preachers) wholly understood what kind of inhuman enemy they were dealing with.
  • Alternatively, considering how the piece of tech disintegrates the Cybermen, he probably needed the Cybermen to be within short-range and close to each-other for the beam to hit the first Cyberman and then disintegrate all the others. He figured getting one of the Cybermen talking with his fake surrender for a few moments would ensure the Cybermen would Chew The Scenery slightly upon getting close to the group, instead of just killing them all immediately like they did to the party-goers.
