Best thing about this two parter:
Cyberman/Dalek trashtalking. Honestly.
"Our species are similar, although your design is inelegant."
"DA-LEKS HAVE NO CON-CEPT OF EL-E-GANCE!"
"This is obvious."
"Daleks be warned. You have declared war upon the Cybermen."
"THIS IS NOT WAR! THIS IS PEST CON-TROL!"
"We have five million Cybermen. How many are you?"
"FOUR!"
"You would destroy the Cybermen with four Daleks?"
"WE WOULD DES-TROY THE CY-BER-MEN WITH ONE DA-LEK! YOU ARE SU-PE-RIOR IN ON-LY ONE RES-PECT!"
"What is that?"
"YOU ARE BET-TER AT DY-ING!"

Also, I think the proudction team realises the ludicrousness of having so many final fates keep being reversed so they actually have an out for their return at the end of the season finale.

The survivors of the Time Lords? Well, he bops around in a police box doing the intergalactic equivalent of rescuing kittens from trees...
The universe is conquered, I tell you. They just haven't got round to us yet.

How does that old proverb go, now?
"Save a planet, and you've fed and sheltered it's children for a generation.
Teach your own children to save planets, and...?"
Or something like that. =:o}

"You don't understand, Doctor. We've already conquered the world. It just hasn't noticed, yet."
