Having avoided most of the supposed leaks and spoilers (including the above teaser), I'm going into this one blindly aside from the knowledge that The Two Ranis are going to cause a lot of havoc, Conrad (*shuuder*) is working with/for them, and...there's a mysterious place called the Wish World where perhaps wishes become reality?

The premise alone (sans Conrad) is promising but we've been down this road with Davies before. Fool me once, shame you, fool me seven times, shame on me.

But fingers crossed!
 
Hmmm...
Well, that happened.
Not sure what to make of it yet. Feels impossible to judge without the resolution of next week.
Most of the episode was a bunch of alternate reality tropes, setting up the cliffhanger.
I get that the tropes were the point.
Another, very subtle, 4th wall break imo.

A few returning faces, most expected, one definitely wasn't!

So Conrad thinks he is in control, but all he really is, is a cog in the Rani's machine without any agency whatsoever.
Not surprising, really.

The third member of the unholy trinity is a smiling baby god of fantasy we've never heard of before. It was a little unnerving when it did the giggle.

The Doctor was screaming that Poppy is his real daughter and that it means something important. So we have a god baby and a space baby now. Both could be called an Unearthly Child....
 
0/10 did not feature Bonnie Langford teaching us COBOL for 45 minutes. It exemplifies everything wrong with RTD's writing - everything's gotta be bigger and more powerful and more dangerous than the last time. Power creep is real.
