I think Arcane is trying something so interesting by making the audience sympathize with both the terrorist and the military police

neither jinx nor caitlyn are dehumanized, we see them as people in pain who aren't getting the room to breathe as those around them seek to use them for their own purposes

all this painful empathizing makes you wish they would just stop fighting and try to figure out a way for coexistence, doesn't it

to borrow the Twelfth Doctor's words, people will die and keep dying in a cycle of violence until finally they will have to do what they should have done from the very beginning: sit down and talk.

no vengeance for jinx. no vengeance for caitlyn. give up avengering and write a contract of ceasefire.

Another little headcannon (inspired by @roxannepolice headcannon that every master post cheetah virus still has it deep in their dna)

Every master post-cheetah virus is like a magnet for cats.

Steven Moffat had always been incredibly reluctant to bring the Ice Warriors back to Doctor Who.

He explained that "creatures that move very, very slowly, and talk in such a garble that you can't understand a word they're saying don't make for compelling villains."

Mark Gatiss, however, was determined to see them return, and actively lobbied for years to bring them back.

He did eventually win Moffat over with a story idea that was new to the show; the submarine setting, and showing an Ice Warrior outside the suit.

Gatiss felt that the species "cried out" to be set on a submarine, and Moffat agreed that it was more exciting.

They are also the first alien not to undergo a significant change to their appearance. Moffat didn't think there was any point, as the traditional look wasn't well enough known to need updating. Gatiss simply liked it as it was.
