Yeah the reveals were amazing, both Susan and the Rani are back!

We see the darkest side of this Doctor yet, which I really liked, although I hope there will be some sort of consequence to his actions in the next episodes. As this is something akin to the 10th Doctor imprisoning the Family of Blood or even the 7th Doctor blowing up Skaro (in terms of acting out of the Doctor oaths, not in terms of scale, obviously). I mean, Kid tried to kill 3 billion people yeah, but he was also victim of genocide (which reminds me of the discourse surrounding Kerblam!) so I hoped there would have been a more nuanced political statement in this episode. I hope the Hellian situation gets another episode so we can tackle these (relevant to our times) topics further and deeper.

Belinda was great here too, she got some really great scenes, especially reacting to the Doctor's madness.

I really liked this one, when Susan appeared I actually screamed hahaha

PS: Just to clarify, I think this episode tackled the political topics much much better than Kerblam! (not hard I know), I just would have liked a deeper commentary on the genocide and the fearmongering surrounding the Hellian people (I'm not expecting Doctor Who to be Andor, although it could work very well, RTD get Tony Gilroy in Season 3 pls). Although what we got was good, I understand this episode is an introduction to the two part finale and it did its job wonderfully!
