Thank you very much! :) I don't know where I picked up (or made up) that idea about Osgood. I do think it's a pity that so many back-references make it a show mainly for those in the know, now.
Yes, plainly references to immigration/refugees - I expect those to become even more overt next episode, and to end by strongly endorsing mutual acceptance, rather than fear. I don't know how they'll square that with Clara/Bonnie's demonstrated murderousness, though.
My guesses for next week: that the line about a Zygon in its child form will be significant, and that "the truth of who we [Zygons] are" will be different from the form we've been seeing. Kate Stewart's not dead, and the soldiers were all Zygons. Or maybe the "Doctor" we've seen is a Zygon, which is why he didn't take the Tardis. Oh, and that continued peaceful co-existence will prove possible.
(I don't see that anyone could reasonably blame the series for the coincidental loss of an aircraft the day it aired. If they had pulled show (tricky, at the last minute?) it would have drawn much more attention to it.)
