A Review Of Doctor Who "Nightmare In Silver"

I realize that there has been a Doctor Who/Star Trek: The Next Generation crossover comic book published and that the idea for the Borg was probably inspired by the Cybermen.

However, those Cybermen depicted in the episode of Doctor Who titled "Nightmare In Silver" seemed too "Borg-like".

The new assimilation technique of the nanites was reminiscent of that used in the movie Star Trek: First Contact and the way that the Cybermen were instantaneously upgrading themselves during combat conditions reminded of how you could only fire a phaser at a certain frequency a few times at the Borg before all of them would develop an immunity.

The attempt to assimilate the Doctor seemed directly inspired by Picard's transformation into Locutus.

I don't care if the episode of was written by Neil Gaiman or not.

I hope if there is ever another episode featuring the Cybermen, that these antagonists lose deeper voice and the silly turboboost.
