Doctor Who does minor thing right: I have previously thought the cybermen controlling people through ear thingies was a bit dodgy, because it's like hearing aids of evil. Not very much like, but really, the whole cybermen idea is like assistive technology of evil, even before the maker in a wheelchair bit, so it was there. In The Lodger the Doctor is wandering around with a slightly steampunky brass thingy in his ear, and it is not of evil. It is of win. And nobody so much as comments on it, so it's just a normal steampunky ear thingy. I thought it looked a bit hearing aid. So the vague badness the cybermen association gets on it is fixed by the proper goodness of the Doctor using one.

This season has been doing okay on disability, which is new and shiny for DW.
