MrL_JaKiri posted:Nope, it's only good if you think that sociopolitical/economic factors don't cause terrorism which is just empirically incorrect. The central problem with the story becomes clear once you learn that Moffat declared that the original Zygon/human agreement was in fact the most perfect arrangement possible. Starting with that as a declared truth, Harness actually manages to do a decent job of presenting the revolutionary position as motivated reasonably. The political principal of the episodes can't be well applied to other agreements which are not, of course, perfect. One might also note that the original agreement only happened as a result of violence and threatened violence. And that the Doctor brings the chief terrorist to justice by convincing her to preserve the peace, not by killing her. The politics are still problematic, but they're not as bad as first appears.
