I was surprised at how much I actually enjoyed this episode, since the rest of the season has been admittedly a little rough for me.
Peri and the Doctor finally feel like they don't want to jump at each other's throats like every five minutes (both literally and figuratively), which I admittedly really enjoyed. To be fair, I also thought Attack of the Cybermen was fine, but in this episode, I actually also liked the side cast and the world-building a lot, compared to the prior one.
At some points, the pacing felt a little off, but for the most part, I felt like the episode ran along smoothly and fit well together. The Doctor really got some nice Doctor-y moments, and Peri got some time to shine aswell.

Doctor Who: The Colin Baker Years Season 22 Serial 2

Finally, a Sixth Doctor serial that's good. Although I admit that I'm surprised how the stories have become increasingly more...Violent, starting from the previous season.

Some interesting political commentary that I'm not sure how to feel about, but it was fun and I want to punt Sil into the sun

the doctor just be...murdering people like

Yeah, I don't get it.  I went into these episodes knowing they were a bit of a fan-favourite and people really like Sil, but this just didn't click for me.  It's a side of Doctor Who I'm never a fan of and does show up in both New Who and Old, where we get this chaotic, unfocused mess.   I wasn't the biggest fan of Attack of the Cybermen but at least there I could appreciate its relative berevity and at least some neat ideas.  Here though, even two episodes felt too long and dragged out to get through comfortably.  I just couldn't bring myself to care about this alien world.  It all felt too low-budget and artificially put together to get me invested in the setting.  Watching Sil stare at a screen and react to stuff over and over really put me off, reminding me of a bad take on the already questionable character Mojo from X-Men comics.  Sorry, Vengeance on Varos fans, I am not in your camp.
