Goodbye to 12 - Doctor Who - The Zygon Inversion Review

We celebrate the Peter Capaldi era by revisiting the 12th Doctor's adventures as we count down the days to his last adventure.

Doctor Who:
The Zygon Inversion
By Peter Harness and Steven
Moffat

“Five rounds rapid.”

The Zygon Inversion continues with the Zygon rebellion as we find out how The Doctor escapes from his plane being blown up by an air to ground missile and what evil Clara really is up to.  I have to say I wasn’t expecting the solution to plane destruction. Well not the jumping out of the plane with parachutes but the fact that Clara was able to manipulate Bonnie and make her miss with the first missile but was not successful stopping the second which gave The Doctor and Osgood the chance to escape.  Now this was an interesting turn of events and made the story a lot more interesting as we had the two Clara’s going back and forth with a mental struggle.  I enjoyed the banter between Bonnie and Clara and I am really enjoying watching Jenna Coleman playing a villain also as it really added to the tension that this story was conveying.

Doctor Who - The Zygon Inversion Review (Spoilers)

By Ken Parker

After witnessing a fairly good first part of this latest story I braced myself for disappointment. We have a couple of off screen cliffhanger resolutions and then back onto the plot. The Zygons are about ready to declare war on Earth. Most of the Zygons living there are happy but some are not and now a revolution has happened. It does not look good for anyone.

The story itself is really a couple of rehashes from the last couple of seasons. We are ultimately left with yet another button dilemma. How many does that make now? This is really a continuation of "The Day of the Doctor" but also a retelling with both the button that the Doctor pushes to destroy Gallifrey and the stand off between the Zygons and humans. This similarity may not make this story that original but it does a pretty good job dealing with the dilemma. This time we have multiple buttons and multiple outcomes that ultimately are all fake. This is Capaldi's Doctor doing his “Kill the Moon” schtick again with giving the life forms control over their own destination, sort of.
