The "whatever happened to Ace" question was answered several weeks ago on the "Death of the Doctor" episode of The Sarah Jane Adventures. Now using her given name, Dorothy, she founded a charity named A Charitable Earth (ACE) with which has raised billions. The Tenth Doctor visited her and all other former companions during the events at the end of "The End of Time".
Ahh Ace, you literally invented the Crowning Moment of Awesome Troupe. She went up against the Daleks with a Baseball bat and the cybermen with a slingshot. Look anyone in the eye and say that's not badass!
@hazzainius That would be AWESOME! All I know is that if they DO bring back McCoy for the 50th anniv., I want Sophie Aldred back, too!
There are so many different semi-canonical versions of what happened to her... some sources say she and the Doctor had an argument, some people say she entered the Prydonian Academy, and some say she strapped a vortex manipulator to a motorcycle and started an independent time patrol... (obviously I like the last one best!)
I must say that I prefer the new era Cybermen; the old ones soon lost their appeal as a metaphor for humans losing their emotions, and became just another bunch of alien nasties (very cool alien nasites, mind you).
LOL the cybermen's crap shooting made Ace look like such a believable pro, when I was younger. Especially that first cyberman coming in through that door.
I think that the Doctor did somthing to the gold coins to make them so deadly to the Cybermen. Otherwise it should have just bounced off. I like to think this to make the incident seem better. However, the alteration of the 80's Cybermen in theis story is my favorite design ever.
gold clogs their internal breathing apparatus originally; however its changed in this story so they drop when they come in contact with it; like a werewolf and silver. Probably the reason they discarded it as a weakness...eliminates predictability.
Love to know how they create that noise at exactly 1:02. I think they used harmonizers but sounds cool and gives them a massive more menacing sound quality.
this is probably my favourite scene in silver nemesis. Other than the main fighting scene or when the cybermen & the nazis r discussing a treaty or something, the cyberleader uses some funny phrases.
I suppose, but then you can't win. Watching these when I was about 10 (bearing in mind I'm 16 now) I was really impressed...as a child I thought the effects looked awesome!
I'm still puzzled how in this one the Cybermen are hit in the chest with machine gun bullets which riqochet from them and yet soft gold arrows penertrate their chests.
They're allergic to Gold, it brings about both a deady reaction to what flesh they have as well as their cybernetics. It was their primary weakness throughout the Classic Series but discarded in the new series.
I just don't like how they scream when they simply touch gold, like the Nazi guy tossed gold in the Cyberleader's face...and he was like AUGH!!!! If gold was in the chest unit, I'd understand.
one of the best fight sequences in the show's long history, personally the gold thing is a little silly but i like it for this story because it works so well, the way the cybermen's guns actually fire makes the fight feel more dagerous especially with the sparks flying everywhere. i think silver nemisis does not deserve the bat wrap its received, which beive comes from 'purist complaining about the gold and that it didn't live up to aniversary expectations like 3/5 doctors did
bullets can hurt cybermen if they are shot a lot in the chest piece (life support) but it usually only works with powrfull weapons such as an machine gun or a shotgun,
who ever came up wit th idea 4 th cybermen 2 hav 3 massive fingers in th 1960's needs his head checked out, it is th stupidest idea eva, they would be much more efficient @ killing if they had 4 fingers, but still lov th rest of th costume, it is so shiney and reflects th explosions and it is sooo cool
These sequences are actually really well sot and lit, it's just a shame that the whole premise of Ace defeating a whole squad of cybermen with her catapult and gold coins is so stupid. Otherwise this would be one of the series' better-staged action sequences, with genuine suspense.
Wow. She is good at this
