DID IT SUCK? - Doctor Who [The Zygon Inversion Review]

[@morphman86]

The fact that Zygon Clara shows raw emotions quite well just emphasizes that it's not Coleman's acting ability that ruined the character, but the writing. Clara was written badly, but acted well.

[@pershing3346]

That location was also used in "The sound of the drums" with David Tennant against the master. Series 3 finale.

[@bean6754]

It's just down the road from me, I used to visit there daily during school lunch breaks back when I was in high-school and lived in that area. The Maelfa, Llanedeyrn, Cardiff.

[@morphman86]

"I lost my twin sister, who I had a strong emotional bond with. But that's OK because I got a replacement just a few months later. Because that is how emotions work, right?" Yup, you can definitely see which parts of the script were written by Moffat.

[@petemarkey626]

Just thought i'd point out that Capaldi was not attempting a cheesy USA accent he was doing a near perfect impression ( catchphrase and all ) of a guy called Hughy Green. A very famous Game show/talent show host in the late sixties, seventies and early eighties who became a household name in the UK. He apitamised benile showbiz TV gaming for a generation. Kate would have recognised and related to it instantly.

[@pantz1081]

As Bonnie knew that hobo guy was really a Zygon in disguise, she should have known that the Kate Stewart she encountered was really human. Also, why doesn't Kate have a Zygon twin? What happened to Osgood in Day of The Doctor must have happened to her aswell, right? Oh, and another thing.......WHERE'S THE SKARASEN???!!!!

[@tabularasa0606]

Wasn't Basil the name of Cleese in Fawlty Towers?

Perfect review, capaldi's acting alone made me love this episode! Meaning like the few terrible scenes are ignored to enjoy the excellent scenes of this episode! Great review mate!

[@crashax78]

brilliant mate, brum and that helmet sequence. pure class

[@MojoProductions]

BTW ---- they film everything (EXCEPT specific non-CGI shots of landmarks in London) in Cardiff. They have done since the show first started. Probably explains why they re-used that council estate to film. Even when Matt Smith 'rode up the Shard' was filmed on a green screen down Cardiff Bay. The production team is BBC Cymru Wales. Just so you know. :P

[@arcadeassassin7176]

an easy way to build suspense around the doctor being in danger would be to make the audience unsure of when he will regenerate and who he will regenerate into.

[@declanhugors]

The second Osgood appeared out of thin air because they were a Zygon that transformed into an insect and then transformed into Osgood behind the other Osgood's back. The show creators definitely wrote all that out

[@Ryan78336]

7:55 is probably because Steven Moffat wrote it

[@tommjgoodridge1047]

[@aidanstephens5240]

[@djburke4314]

I'm just wondering where the Zygon of Stewart was at?

[@keithsolley]

8:18 Capaldi was actually emulating Hughie Green-Host of the old British 1970's talent show 'Opportunity Knocks' who had the catchphrase 'and I mean that most sincerely folks'

[@wastedrune4530]

7:25 i think this is highlighting the fact that the zygones believe they're superior in every way, and that they don't even entertain the thought that a human could beat a zygone in 1 on 1 combat

[@Mineycart]

Don't ask me why but theres something about the opening joke about TV licenses and the way he says "I don't" which i just love to listen to on repeat over and over again.

[@tangroro]

I love these two episodes, and the ending speech from the Doctor is beyond memorable, but the one issue that really bothered me is that Zygons are using electric laser instead of venom, I think it would be more disturbing to see the Zygons committed suicide by poisoning themselves rather than just zap them

[@starduster2829]

6:27 Surely the Doctor was Basil Brush in a previous incarnation....

[@chickennuggets7710]

i really liked when kate said "five rounds, rapid" i thought it was a pretty cute little reference.

[@DasKame]

Agree, i love that ONCE the Doctor can talk out a Villain from his Actions, it has a cool statement that a answer CAN be WITHOUT fight. Good Review anyway

[@Rocksteady72a]

Looking back on the Moffat hate is quite interesting. I didn't think it was deserved back then, but it seems hilariously undeserved in retrospect as well

[@MorningDusk7734]

Wouldn't the ending confirm that the Osgood that was with the doctor was human, as a Zygon needs a host to transform into, at least initially? A Zygon transforming from a Zygon doesn't seem to make sense...

[@DarthBear356]

The doctor using the name basil might be a possible minute reference to faulty towers.

[@ThatCringeCalledIggleboz]

Doctor Merciful I always thought she was hiding behind her as an ant then appeared as osgood from behind her.

[@augusta.5089]

This video's super old but I'm fairly certain 'Basil' is a nod to Basil Rathbone, the actor who played Sherlock Holmes in 1939. Because Moffat couldn't help but make Twelve as Sherlock-y as humanly possible.

[@LegoTardisArchives]

Basel is a city in Switzerland but I don’t think that the doctor meant that

[@SawyerFools]

Moffat is the best writer doctor who has ever had and Clara has more depth and emotion than Rose or Martha

[@EBarrett]

Am I the only one who got irritated when the Doctor told Osgood to wear his sonic sunglasses because hers were broken? Speaking with the knowledge of a girl who has glasses herself, you need prescription glasses for them to help your eyesight, you can't just put any random pair on and you'll magically see perfectly! I just found it really, really, irritating. You might have guessed.

[@HarrysMovingMedia]

These aren't any old pair of glasses though, they're SONIC sunglasses. However I can see your empathetic reasoning to be annoyed so it's understandable for you to get annoyed at that

[@EBarrett]

But, like Osgood says, sonic sunglasses are like a visual hearing aid, they're going to do pretty much fuck-all for her sight.

The next four episodes are going to be amazing I can't wait for the next one to see an episode that's been on Gatiss' mind since series one and now he felt like the right time I can't wait. Also I loved the fact that Moffat was involved so then the other writer didn't have full reign of these episodes.

[@bensadventuresonearth6126]

You're mentioning the references to religion in the episode : in fact there has been a huge amount of them since Moffat took over and it annoys me so much as it has no place in a sci-fi show, especially Doctor Who, but I think Moffat is kind of a bigot. *****Here is the list of these references : The Clerics (The Time of Angels/Flesh and Stone and so on...), The Headless Monks and the Prayer Leaf (A Good Man Goes To War), The God Complex episode, The Rings Of Akhaten episode, The whole concept of the Church and the Papal Mainframe, plus the Silence monsters being confessional priests (!!!) (The Time of The Doctor), the whole Missy's "Welcome to Heaven" subplot plus The Promised Land in Series 8 giving me the feeling to watch a TV adaptation of the Holy Bible, Odin (The Girl Who Died), "May the gods blablabla" (Sleep No More), and the f**king titles for the Series 9 two-parter finale, which is really too much for me, and although it's a good wordplay, it's also totally unnecessary and irrelevant...
