What I do like about this "parallel evolution" thing, as mentioned by the Doctor and further explained by Amorkuz, is that, as seen aboard the spaceship during World Enough and Time and The Doctor Falls, we no longer require an explanation as to why certain Cybermen, for example those in Closing Time or Blood of the Cybermen, highly resemble the Cybus Cybermen. As is shown in the recent finale, the Cybermen were always headed that way regardless, it's just that 21st century Pete's World got a technological head start, where 1960s Mondas didn't. This little gap in knowledge always threw me. Seeing the Cybus Cybermen without the 'C' always got to me. Parallel evolution simply makes it not a problem. I'm really liking the look of the proposed page and I'm very excited to see the end result.
