It has to be said, it’s not that often I start a blog post up, this late.
Well …
Not for a while, at any rate.
But I wanted to continue something that’s because a tradition for me: at least, after all this time.
Yes.
I’ve seen tonight’s episode of Dr Who: episode 7, of series 9, of the rebooted series, called The Zygon Invasion.
And, boy, it’s good.
~≈Â≈~
The Zygon Invasion opens with a brief recap of events in The Day Of The Doctor: reminding us that Zygons had — eventually — formed a peace treaty with the people of Earth.
A peace treaty had had held until a splinter faction of Zygons kidnap Osgood — she and her Zygon duplicate were guarantors of the treaty — with the intent of starting a war.
The Doctors decides to help: resuming his role as world president in the process, and heading to a small town in the Baltics, and asking Kate Stuart to investigate the small New Mexican town of Truth or Consequences*, delegating Clara to both protect the UK.
Things go downhill from there …
When the troop Clara’s leading … find SOMETHING nasty under the streets of London.
Kate ends up finding the one apparent human being left in New Mexico.
And the Doctor … ?
Getting into all sorts of trouble …
~≈Â≈~
Now … good … ?
Oh, yes … !
The first six episodes of series 9 have, I feel, proved themselves to be of very good quality.
At least, that’s my opinion.
Episode 7? The Zygon Invasion?
Is no exception. It’s a fantastic little action packed episode: and having enough old school paranoia to keep everyone guessing about who’s who.
Frankly?
I’m looking forward to next weeks episode.
Especially as I’ve the next few days off!

Post a Comment
I love it when someone comments. But, having had anonymous comments I feel may be libellous, actionable or just plain offensive, over the years?
I’d appreciate you* leaving your name — with a link to your website or social-media profile†, for preference — before you post a comment.
Should you choose to use a pseudonym/name, I’d appreciate it if that name were to be polite and inoffensive. I’d rather you kept it clean, and relatively grown up. Comments left with a pseudonym will be posted at my discretion: I really prefer a link.
Contentious, actionable or abusive posts left anonymously will not be posted. Nor will comments using offensive pseudonyms or language, or that are abusive of other commenters.
Thank you.
* I know many value their online privacy. I respect that. But hope you respect my wish to see who’s commenting on my blog: and my wish for you to introduce your self to me, and to your fellow commentors.
