Goons calling this the worst like there wasn't an episode that ended with a joke about a blowjob from a paving slab.

We've only seen half the story, I doubt the denouement will be the Doctor ordering a nerve gas done strike. The show's protagonist kept calling for dialogue despite having seen a bunch of soldiers murdered seconds before. I can see plenty of reasons someone wouldn't like this hour of television but getting caught up about the undertone is a bit weird.

Rochallor posted:No, obviously not, but the Zygons here aren't written as people you can have a dialogue with. The Zygons that we've seen so far are murderous conquerors which UNIT would be totally justified in blowing up with drones. That's the problem. And yet the Doctor is shown still advocating dialogue. This is the guy the show positions as the wisest being in existence. The answer to the question "did we need an episode of Doctor Who that dealt with Islamic Extremism?" is a responding "hell no" but seeing as they did I don't understand how anyone could complain about it being racist or whatever unless they were wildly over-sensitive. While watching, I assumed it would be Daily Mail types outraged as it basically showed the Doctor as turbo-Corbyn. AttitudeAdjuster fucked around with this message at 01:42 on Nov 1, 2015 |

Leaving aside the subtext stuff for the moment, this episode really highlights the fact that New Who really struggles to do large-scale stories without descending onto a confused, rushed mess. With that said, I'll take this over Love and Monsters or that episode with the master race any day of the week. Compare to the lows of the RTD era, this was loving Shakespeare.

I'll certainly agree that everything this episode was trying to do was already achieved in a much better way by Silurians despite that story having a guy in a rubber suit pretending to be an Allosaurus.

Is Harry developing an Anti-Zygon weapon so far-fetched when A) he was part of the military and B) got pretty comprehensively hosed over by the Zygons including IIRC getting shot in the head by one, abducted, imprisoned and impersonated.
