"The Zygon Invasion" Grade and Discussion Thread

[Gingerbread Demon]

20 million people who are moved to somewhere on the other side of he planet. They will likely never encounter each other if they are lucky or take precautions. British people can fill in almost anywhere given how large the Commonwealth is. Plus UNIT is basically the UN's planetary defense arm since the late 1960s, and the Doctor was elected President of Earth (for whatever reason).

Hmmmm I guess "looks unsure" I suppose that works lol

Which would have meant a lot more in the 20th Century than the 21st.

The planet may be getting smaller, but there are still plenty of people that almost never leave their cities much less countries.

Even those who physically never step outside their cities have Internet access.

Nothing. These Zygons don't need to keep people to maintain a copy, so the people they copy live in blissful ignorance of having an alien doppelganger.

Considering the Doctor Who universe is already full of random, unexplained doppelgangers (SEE "The Massacre of St. Bartholomew's Eve," "The Enemy of the World," "The Androids of Tara," & "Black Orchid") I'm not sure anyone would notice.

Not to mention Martha Jones & her identical cousin from "Army of Ghosts."

Plus, I've found that most British people already look vaguely like most other British people anyway.
