Archie Panjabi the Rani you will always always be famous to me <3

Okay I calmed down a bit and I have more to add. There were bits I enjoyed. The first half hour was fun. Thirteen was a fun surprise. Panjabi's Rani is amazing. Gatwa gave it his all. I love Melanie Jane Bush.

Everything else though... Why did the Rani get eaten by Omega? Why was Omega a massive dessicated skull who got defeated way too easily? What was that whole motherhood plot?? After a whole episode saying 'why must women always be mothers and housewives' we... make Belinda into a mother? We give her a baby that isn't hers and alter her entire life and don't play that like it's scary? What was the point of UNIT? Why did we spend so much time talking about a baby that I had no reason to care about? Why did Gatwa's start and end have to get overshadowed by RTD's nostalgia bait?

Why why why why?

Why did the Rani have to get eaten by the skull... I need her back so much it isn't even funny. But I don't suppose we ever will, because if there's one thing RTD loves to do, it's disappoint.
