I don't give a rating for episodes in a two-parter until I see how it finishes, but I do have some thoughts.

Overall, I am conflicted, but I am erring on the side of that I enjoyed it.

The world building of Conrad's Wish World is fantastic - brilliant dystopian vibes, the looming authority threat preventing any questions, and a world which represses anyone who does not fit his ideals. This is wonderfully dark, and handled so well. A whole episode of this, with Conrad using the power of the Gods to manipulate this would be fantastic! Particularly seeing the Doctor and Belinda in this world is great, as their doubt bleeds through.

The Rani is played so well by Panjabi, I really began to enjoy her performance. However, I'm not sure she fully works within this story. She is brilliant, and so menacing, but underserved in favour (and rightfully so) for Conrad's Wish World story. I'm hoping for more from her in the next story, and I hope it also fixes some of the issues with her characterisation. Throughout this story, she was much more of a Master clone then like the Rani that we have met before, and I hope that the science led Rani can return properly in the next story.

And it does lead me to the worst part of the story - the cliffhanger. Yes, Omega is a great concept who I think would work so well in the show. But, this isn't the story to promise his return - it seems so shoehorned and forced, when there was enough threat from the villains, and the Baby God as it is.

Even with this, there is so much I have loved, and I think it's a lot to enjoy, but equally a lot that has left me underwhelmed or anxious.

Fingers crossed Davies can stick the landing.....
