I won't be able to watch the episode until tomorrow night.

It had quite a bit going for it but it wasn't as strong an episode as I would have hoped.

Why were the Zygons in New Mexico?

If the Zygon revolution's goal is to live openly as Zygons, why are none of them doing so? Why are they kidnapping and killing random people? If their goal is to take over the world, why are they not just replacing people of power?

I hope part two brings in some good answers.

Every time the TARDIS materializes in a new location, within the first nanosecond of landing, it analyzes its surroundings calculates a twelve dimensional data map of everything within a thousand mile radius and determines which outer shell would blend in best with the environment.

I felt that the Zygons were undersold in this one. I still don't fully understand the point of their little war if, as DEN says, they could just choose not to use their shapshifting abilities? Felt like an excuse to use the Zygons but without a fully realised story.

"There are worlds out there where the sky is burning, and the sea's asleep, and the rivers dream; people made of smoke and cities made of song. Somewhere there's danger, somewhere there's injustice, somewhere else the tea's getting cold. Come on, Ace. We've got work to do."

The Zygons were angry that they had to pretend to be humans. If this is such a great solution, they reasoned, why can't we just be ourselves?

The moral of the story: Let Zygons be Zygons.
