Care? Why should I care? ... There are people dying all over your world, yet you do not care about them. -- Cyberman Regos Krang, Doctor Who: The Tenth Planet

The Zygon Addendum

Two Additional Thoughts That Came To Me Last Night:

 

  1. Wouldn’t it have been nice if the Zygons had been depicted as being able to solve their own problems rather than reinforcing the idea that it is Objectively Right for an uninvolved third party from a distant land with a history of getting involved in local conflicts he doesn’t fully understand without regard for the consequences to come in and force his worldview on them? Nice of Bonnie to greet him as a liberator at the end.
  2. I am deeply, deeply impressed by the show of restraint involved in going all the way through a two-parter about Zygon renegades fighting for the right to assume their natural form without even once having a Zygon rebel shout the slogan, “Let Zygons Be Zygons!”
