Season 13 leads off with the final "proper" UNIT story. This story has the Zygons, a character never seen again until the 50th Anniversary story "Day of the Doctor". There's pic.twitter.com/pgv3id3fHS

also a bit with the Loch Ness Monster. Enjoyed this more than I remembered, despite SJS's awesome camo outfit being gone. Lost myself in story, forgot to write anything else? pic.twitter.com/1Z5oeKC3i2

Zygons are realized well (including their ship), though their design is somewhat comical. Their voices are rather whispery, which can be difficult if you're hard of hearing. pic.twitter.com/wk0hkUwCAS

Still, I have to say I enjoyed them, and this story. Even Harry gets something to do, which is probably good as he's done after this story. Loch Ness Monster was NOT well done. pic.twitter.com/LxEqkQpE2M

liking the UNIT feel to this story. SJS does her own investigating, and finds the aliens, leading the Brig to attack. Pace of this episode is a bit slower than the other two. pic.twitter.com/02ASsifYcM

I have to say I enjoyed this FAR more than my memory said from the past. It's been bloody ages since I saw it, and the team worked well here. It's the last regular story for pic.twitter.com/bgLjiiIDS5

the Brig as well as Harry Sullivan. In escaping the Zygon ship, the Doctor blows it up. The Doctor gets the monster to go back to Loch Ness. Harry stays behind in London. pic.twitter.com/ue1vmZN8rR
