puppetmaker | New Who Review for The Zygon Invasion

Osgood is a character that was introduced in the Day of the Doctor. She popped again in Death in Heaven and popped off due to the Master being evil pure and simple.

And now she is back in a slightly larger role with a lot depending on her.

Osgood is a fan of the Doctor. One assumes that the Caretaker gave her the scarf she was wearing in The Day of the Doctor. Then there are the other slight touches of someone who worships something possibly a little more than she should. She is just on this side of obsession.

The Zygons were used in the Day of The Doctor and we find out what happened next and the consequences and they aren’t the best.

I enjoyed this and really want to see where they are going with this over all. It is a solid Doctor Who episode that could be any Doctor but it is this one.

Good use of Clara too. However I get the feeling that they are getting us use to the time after Clara considering how much time she is not with the Doctor.

So next week we find out what is in the box and how this will all sort out.

I am so glad that we found out this week how long Clara had been a Zygon because it was a can of worms that would have us questioning things all the way back to the Day of the Doctor.

I do wonder what the Doctor gave Osgood as a failsafe and I am betting it is an empty box.

I really don’t care if Osgood is human or Zygon, I am just happy that she is still around.

Bonnie gives Jenna Coleman something else to play and she does good evil.

There is the fine line they are walking with Osgood. She could turn into a Mary Sue at any point but so far they have gone to the edge but not jumped off. I hope that continues.

I am grateful for that they are trying for continuity.
