However, having watched the whole story again, I think it does hang together quite nicely.
Although I was dubious about the Cybermen on first viewing, later on I came to ignore there lack of motivation and characterisation, and saw that these absences were, perhaps, the point: their mechanical, brisk physical movements are where their emotion can be found, not in what they say.
