That war speech. Wow! I still prefer Matt Smith as a character, but Peter Capaldi is far and away the strongest modern Doctor in terms of acting ability.

It was very good indeed. The double dilemma was ingenious.

Yes, the Doctor's speech is really what makes this episode come together.

The Doctor's speech was definitely the best part of the episode, but I also really enjoyed Clara messing with Bonnie's head - the bit with the mirror was priceless. Kate's "Five rounds rapid" was also a nice, subtle homage to the Brig.

I very much enjoyed this episode.
All my problems with the story in the first episode were acknowledged and even lampshaded as problems with the actual Zygon insurection.
I think my problem with the story as a whole is simply that it didn't really need to be a two parteer. I was left very unsatisfied for a week because they wanted a cliffhanger.
But I am quite happy with the resulting whole.
(looking forward to the next episode)

And this series is back on form. A great episode that showcased Peter Capaldi's acting talents.

I think my problem with the story as a whole is simply that it didn't really need to be a two parteer. I think this is true. I suspect Moffat heard people complaining that the last series had no two-parters, so he made every in story this series into two-parters. |

A much better second half of the story. Loved the fantastic anti-war speech.
