And there has been a lot of rhymes between seasons 1 and 2. Maybe in a couple of weeks we'll have Davies shrugging, "That's just how it turned out, no big mystery to be solved," but it is intriguing.

Yeah, that scientific core of her character is important, I think. Her embracing magic as "a different form of science" ...sounds a bit like a convenient copout so Davies can remain wedded to his fantasy turn.
I'm looking forward to how it plays out on screen, though. Archie Panjabi has oozed attitude in what little we've seen of her in the part so far, and I'm optimistic that'll go a long way (see Kate O'Mara).
The more screenshots and teasers I see, the more it seems they're going for "oppressive surrealism" rather than "zany" with the depiction of the alternate reality? My concerns are how they are going to resolve the season arc, and how many more dangling plot threads get tied up.
Apparently, "Space babies" ties in somehow, but also Susan, I guess? Does the mavity thing get straightened out some day? Can we expect more callbacks to the previous season, just to trip us up further? And why exactly have the Rani(s) granted Conrad this "Wish world" if the planet is going to be destroyed by 24th May anyway?
The plot is probably going to thicken over this two-parter, and then be handwaved away by some big dumb spectacle. I just hope I'll be entertained in the meantime.
Let's not forget that this is probably one of the worst (canonical?) Doctor Who stories broadcast — and adding insult to injury, it was watched by 13½ million people. It's one of the most viewed Who stories ever, or was in its time.
My sincerest apologies in advance!
It was a fun novelty song when it lasted for less than a minute in the episode. A 24/7 feed makes me long for the world to end on Saturday.
Unfortunately, this is all spot on. Everything great about the Rani was in her first outing — Kate O'Mara is still pretty fun here, but any semblance of characterisation is lost in the usual regeneration confusion.
Can't wait for your thought on "Dimensions in time" 🫤

Same thing happened to me. If I block someone on Mastodon or another Fediverse microblogging instance, they're blocked. Because that part of the Fediverse was built by people who had been harassed and doxxed off other platforms.
Here? Blocking just means you don't see the troll, but they can continue to inflict all kinds of havoc on your post scores. Ironically, "karma" isn't a thing on Lemmy like it is on Reddit, but votes are still used to rank your posts.
I guess there are a hundred great folk on here for every preteen edgelord, but that kind of nonsense really spoils the fun of this platform. Sorry to see you get downvoted for a perfectly reasonable post.
I just recall it being a terribly acted slog, but sometimes that's a plus in classic Who.
I mean, good for them. Now, if anyone has actual mental health issues, please get in touch with a trained, human therapist.
I had blissfully forgotten "The twin dilemma" 🤣

If looks could kill, Mrs Flood would still be regenerating after last episode 🙂
They're a great comedic pairing so far, though:
