Or do you mean the Japanese scientist? Yes, that one. He even touched her metal breast, if his words weren't enough. Later, everyone else seemed just to be frightened by her.
Cybermen would have no concept of that sort of aesthetic. Exactly. Their goal is to "improve" human bodies so flat shoes should be obvious, also they never made women and men look different.
There was none of that with Lisa - although the actress did what she could - I think the intention was probably there, but the outfit worked against her, rather than with. I agree. I wonder if Russell and Chris were satisfied by the result, or if the thought "it was wrong" came to them when they watched the episode, but it was too late. It's so obvious to us...
I love that quote, it's so true.
Children of Earth was a masterpiece but I think the best episode Davies has written and I've seen is probably Midnight. Many writers came up with interesting monsters but to make humans the monsters of the week, in a totally realistic way, that was thinking outside the box. I always feel uneasy after I watch it.
To be fair, that was mostly a dig at how VERY short Clara is. In the Victorian episode with the Eleventh, when she couldn't reach the ladder, that told us about her height. When she was supposed to only use her legs, well, I interpret it differently. But I'm not going to argue that it's the only possible way.
And he got Matt Smith to strip down quite regularly. ;) I love that little video for Children in Need with Matt losing his clothes, so funny :)
