Hello Whovians!
I think the Cyber Lord page should be moved to Senior Cyberleader and the Cyberman drone page should be moved to a new one that would be called Cybertrooper.
Senior Leader is an official title, while Cyber Lord is not. I don't think that lord was supposed to mean the Cyberleader's rank in "Blood of the Cybermen." The Cyberslave used two archaic words—lord and brethren. So-called Cyber Lords meet the criteria of Senior Leaders. Both are superior to Leaders and command the largest military formations in their Cyber empires, i.e., Major Phalanxes and Cyber legions.
Product Enterprise called its Cyberscout action figure a limited-edition Cybertrooper. Cybertroopers are also called Cyberdrones, Cyberwarriors, and Cybermen, but using these names creates confusion, considering CyberMondans, Cybusmen, and New Imperial Cybermen used Cyber creatures called Cyberdrones; Cyber Warrior, the class, was introduced; and Cyberman could refer to any rank.
A note, I'm going to talk about The Twin Dilemma separately. Putting it at the end of this (well, the start, let's be honest) would make it far too long.
6 • Warriors of the Deep
In which horror siren Ingrid Pitt karate kicks a green pantomime horse that almost defies description—without question the worst monster ever to conga across a Doctor Who set—causing her to be electrocuted. In one shocking moment, some sea base crew find the Tardis... unlocked! It's a comedy of errors, but without the comedy. In lieu of almost any other positives, I'll say that I do like Davison's new haircut. (E+)
5 • Resurrection of the Daleks
Eric Saward populates this awkward serial with a couple of individually decent elements. Once again, the duplicates business feels completely out-of-place, as if it was part of a different story that got fused with this one—to make matters worse they crop up AGAIN in the infinitely-superior season finale. At its best, this is an insignificant addition to Dalek lore. At its worst, it's a lobotomised Rodney Bewes wandering around looking forlorn, while Saward allows the body count to pile high in a child's drawing of a gritty drama. In his big moment with Davros, Davison's performance is totally flat, not helped by his clown costume when everyone else gets uniforms. Episode 4 (or 2 if you're stuck with the stodgy two-part version) is merely a sequence of completely inexplicable events. This might be the worst Dalek story. At least The Chase was fun! (C)
4 • Frontios
Ron Jones is going to prove hard to beat when it comes to worst record as director—the man behind Time-Flight and Arc of Infinity has shown his hand early, and this isn't exactly a showcase of his talents either. Frontios is filmed entirely in-studio, and as such is in dire need of an inventive director to breathe some life into it. But the story's a decent one which will probably reward poring over, and the cast acquit themselves well—Lesley Dunlop is the standout, providing a likeable ally while simultaneously looking like Nik Kershaw. Towards the end, it very notably runs out of steam, and of course the story is hampered not only by how unforgivably static it is, but also the dismal Tractators. Mark Strickson is a) hilarious as man-wielding-a-hatstand; and b) remarkably effective in his wild-eyed terror. What a shame we'd already seen the lumbering lice minutes earlier in all their non-glory. (B-)
3 • Planet of Fire
"Oh no," murmurs Davison as he spots poor Anthony Ainley for the first time, echoing the thoughts of every sane viewer. But actually, this is probably his best outing, allowed at last to look suave in a suit and tie. He's very good here, even when he gets bonked on the head by some polystyrene. Elsewhere, an off-screen squawk reminds both audience and crew of Kamelion's existence (it would have been nice for Gerald Flood to have had more of a role here), and Turlough wears some inconceivably tiny shorts. The actual story (quite a good one I reckon, although not much actually happens) leaves centre stage to Turlough as his backstory bubbles forth—it's not terribly interesting, but it at last gives him something to do. The theme of homosexuality is laced through the scripts, but also in the direction, which is some great work—there's more depth of character in that final scene of the Doctor and Turlough than in the last two seasons put together. At last, a triumph of substance over style! I do like this one though: episode 3's cliffhanger is my favourite of the season. And surely it must take some skill to make the Canary Islands look like a quarry. (B)
2 • The Awakening
Historical re-enactments are the worst form of entertainment. Not relevant, just a fact. This is a superb story that I'd previously found little time for. Episode 1 takes a while to get going, which is surprising in a two-parter, but ends well and includes one of my favourite lines of the season: Turlough's disgusted "Who is that?" I don't pretend to really understand all the different manifestations of pure evil on show here, and I feel the story is in need of something extra to make it truly remarkable. I'd suggest a racial subtext about Sir George wanting to return England to how he believes it used to be. There are some lovely touches in this, but it's too sloppily directed to be indispensable. (B+)
1 • The Caves of Androzani
I always liked this one, but it wasn't until the third watch that I really recognised it as a masterpiece. I won't bang on about the story's myriad qualities. What's more impressive is how it overcomes its shortcomings. The Magma Beast is pretty poor (better than the Myrka for sure—what isn't), but at least they had the brains to shoot it in the dark. Sophisticated, high-stakes and hugely atmospheric, this is a triumph in every department. (A+)

Comment down below something you like about the first episode of the first series of Torchwood.
I love the Whoniverse so I didn't want my only series of posts on here to be negative!
Our lovely lizard lady Madame Vastra
I have finally catch up all 13 seasons of Doctor Who on MAX from January/1/2024 - April/8/2024 and now I’m waiting for a new Doctor Who series which is headed to Disney+ next month in May 10th
If The 15th Doctor Bi-generated from the 14th Doctor. . .
How is this going to affect future Incarnations of The Doctor?
Will they Regenerate like every prior incarnation from 1-14; or will any Future Incarnation of The Doctor Bigenerate like the 15th Doctor did; when he split off from the 14th Doctor?!!

3) the harmony shoal in a unit soldier
If anyone could help me it would be appreciteated
No, seriously, why to put these pages if they explain since too few lines to literally nothing additional to the series explaining???
The superpower pages, except Flight, from the page about the Superpower concept explain only the obvious or what was already explained on the linked other pages, like the Superpower concept page and the Hazandra page, and the red hole and the dwarf star crystal are both useless, looking more like a missleading prank than an actually useful research.
The page about Superpower concept looks a few more decent, but at the same time needs to be better-worked, it was VERY poorly explained and even looks incomplete for a so long and expanded media like Doctor Who.
Moreover the hypocrisy to explain so entirely about the Spider-Man in the bloody Doctor Who fandom, but not to explain simpler things like heat vision and super strenght.
