I’ll preface this by saying that I do not and never have watched Eurovision so I wasn’t expecting this to be anything special.

Boy, was I wrong.

The episode itself was fine. I liked that they actually to the time to come up with a reason why everyone didn’t immediately die in space. I liked Belinda having a little freak out when she thought she was stuck in space without the Doctor, then getting over it and started looking for solutions to the situation. I liked The Doctor too far although Belinda should really have taken him to task far more than she did for it.
I liked the ideas behind the plot (“cool motive, still murder”), but despite Cora coming out and singing a song in front off everyone at the end, did anything actually happen because of it? At best it seems they’d have ended up with a “sure, you’re one of the good ones, but they’re generally still terrorists”, right? Or maybe that was the depressing point…

I’m intrigued to see where they’re going with the Susan thing, but damn it’s good to see Carole Ann Ford back!

Not sure how I feel about Mrs Flood bigenerating (a thing so rare it has previously only happened once and been mentioned as previously theoretical) and now The Rani is back. Yay? I don’t think that makes all the fourth wall breaking better…?

But it’s good to have a Time Lord (Lady, if you’re old fashioned 😉) antagonist who isn’t The Master.

And potentially that means there’s at least three Time Lords still around. So that’s nice. At this rate, I wouldn’t be surprised to see Romana come back in another season or two.
