 "The Zygon Inversion" concludes the two-part story that began with "The 
 Zygon 
 Invasion," delivering a powerful and thought-provoking resolution. Here's a 
 review: 
  
 **Strengths:** 
  
 *   **Powerful Speech:** The Doctor's speech in the climax of the episode 
 is a 
  standout moment, powerfully articulating the horrors of war and the 
 importance 
   of choosing peace. It's considered one of the best speeches in modern 
 Doctor 
    Who. 
  
     *   **Ethical Dilemmas:** The episode continues to explore complex 
 ethical 
     dilemmas, forcing the characters to confront difficult choices 
     with no easy answers. 
  
     *   **Clara's Performance (and Bonnie's):** Jenna Coleman continues to 
 shine 
     in her dual role as Clara and Bonnie, delivering nuanced performances 
 that 
     showcase the characters' distinct personalities. 
  
     *   **Missy's Presence:** Michelle Gomez's performance as Missy adds 
     a chaotic and unpredictable element to the story, keeping viewers 
     on their toes. 
  
     *   **Resolution:** The resolution of the Zygon conflict is clever 
     and satisfying, avoiding a simple good vs. evil narrative and 
 emphasising 
     the importance of understanding and compromise. 
  
     **Possible Weaknesses:** 
  
     *   **Pacing (in some parts):** While the climax is powerful, some 
 viewers 
     might find the pacing uneven in the lead-up, with some scenes focusing 
     heavily on dialogue and exposition. 
  
     *   **Complexity:** The political themes and the multiple perspectives 
     presented in the story might still be complex for some viewers. 
  
     **Overall Impression:** 
  
     *   **Powerful and Thought-Provoking Conclusion:** "The Zygon Inversion" 
     provides a powerful and thought-provoking conclusion to the Zygon 
 two-parter, 
     exploring complex themes about war, identity, and the importance of 
 peace. 
  
     *   **Memorable Moments:** The episode features several memorable 
 moments, 
     particularly the Doctor's speech and Clara's interactions with Bonnie. 
  
     **Rating:** 
  
     Considering the powerful speech, complex ethical dilemmas, and some 
 pacing 
     issues, I'd rate Doctor Who - The Zygon Inversion a **9/10**. It's a 
 strong 
     and impactful episode that delivers a satisfying conclusion to the story 
 arc. 
  
     **Breakdown for viewers:** 
  
     *   **For fans who enjoy thought-provoking stories, strong character 
 moments, 
     and powerful messages:** 9.5/10 or even 10/10 
  
     *   **For fans who prefer fast-paced action 
     and simpler narratives:** 8/10 or 8.5/10
