Cyberman Part 4: Telos:
Released in February 2006.
Written and directed by Nick Briggs.
Final part of the first Cyberman mini-series.
As the title says the story takes place on the Cybermen’s adopted home planet Telos.
Liam and the androids attempts to blow up the Cybermen’s main vault but overall this story is not explosive enough to my satisfaction.
One thing notable about Telos is Karen Brett. In previous parts Karen Brett was slowly drifting away from her humanity. In Telos she completely loses it as she is now the Cyber Leader.
When Liam tries to reason with his old friend Karen she denied she is herself anymore by saying “THERE IS NO KAREN BRETT”. In fact she says this statement very frequently throughout this story which means the one person she was trying to convince of this statement was herself. A powerful display about the loss of one’s humanity.
The ending to Telos sets up well the second series of Cyberman.
