Them fully leaning in to gods and myth is a really big thing, especially since they're bringing back Omega and made reference to Rasillon. I do wonder if the Rani knows who the Other is too and how the Other fits in - is that why Susans back? I do think this was a bit too much like a Master plan rather than a Rani plan, this was too convoluted for the Rani, who never tried to torture the Doctor, just manipulate him to do things he would refuse to do if asked.Archie Panjabi did a great performance as a villain though, but I'm not sure if she is differentiated enough from Missy. Nonetheless the dance scene - although a bit out of place - had some nice storytelling built in - were the Doctor and the Rani once lovers? They were schoolmates.Looking forward to seeing how they manage to reveal (and contain) Omega, explain the giant fossils, save Poppy and wrap things.</blockquote>
