It's a good story, but for a cloned race, it did the Sontarans no favours whatsoever!

I quite like them actually.

The look of the Sontarans is the least of the stories issues. Had Styre looked like Linx and Stor looked like Styre then there would be an issue but as you say, for a cloned race they all look bloody different.
