A wish granting god baby, granting Conrad's wishes in service of the Rani, turns London into a misogynist utopia and The Doctor into a good husband and insurance worker.
Hard to say why misogynists are so keen on the American 50s. Perhaps because it was before blacks had the vote and women could do banking.
And if anyone doubts this ridiculous tale, their table stops working and their family might call the doubt police, so they soon learn not to. All very oppressive and subversive.
Ruby manages to doubt anyway. And all the disabled people who simply never enter into Conrad's mind. Nice touch that. Great scene in the tent city filled with the dispossessed. They don't seem to have actually done anything so far but maybe they'll get more useful in part two.
Conrad is on TV telling a story about a man named Doctor Who.
Giant dinosaur skeletons walk the city, stepping over sky scrapers, and a bone palace towers above the city. Because I guess Conrad wishes for it to be so in order to give the Rani somewhere to live.
The palace is beautiful and Gothic.
But doubt is seeping in. Rogue is back, on the TV in hell, telling the Doctor that tables don't work like that. So he investigates. Gets himself reported to the doubt police who take him and Belinda to the bone palace.
The Rani's split from Miss Flood gives the pair of them a good chemistry. Queen and her maid of honour. Seems like Mrs Flood is likely to be the Rani's downfall. She doesn't like being told to make a sandwich.
A lot of exposition going on, but they at least put a hat on it: "Isn't just exposition, I need you to doubt"
So that's the reason for the strange wishes: To make the doctor have doubts so severe that the reality collapses, and Rani can rescue Omega. Omega is the dude in a Mask from the first 3 doctors episode, who gave the timelords time travel and got trapped in the underworld in the process. Timelords forgot him and never mounted a rescue, but presumably Rani is now hoping he'll bring back Galifrey.
And with London collapsing into the underworld and the doctor falling from the sky, we get the episode break and have to wait until next week.
That's not a cliff hanger, that an already-falling-from-the-cliff hanger.
Poppy really is his daughter he's shouting as he falls. And you know what that means?

Back in Space Babies, the worst episode of the Nchuti seasons, that space baby asked if he was her parents and he said he wished that he was their parents.
That wish has been granted somehow?
Is this space baby Susan's mother? They have very different skin tones, but that doesn't matter much in a regenerating species.
Never have found out much about The Doctor's child. When he traveled with his granddaughter everyone assumed he'd met his own kid, the grandchild's parent.
But that doesn't have to be true for a time traveler. Maybe he met the granddaughter before he met his own kid, and maybe his own kid was just wished into his family line 60 years later (or billions of years in his timeline I guess).
Pretty fun episode but not sure it makes much sense. Why doesn't the Rani just wish for Omega to be back instead of all this doubt and underworld bollocks?
Last one next week. Super long episode. Hope it's all cleared up. Good chance we'll meet Susan again I think. And maybe see Omega's mask once more.
Kaum Hoffnung auf Durchbruch bei möglichen GesprÀchen
UN-Spitzendiplomatin Rosemary DiCarlo hat nach den jĂŒngsten russischen Angriffen auf die Ukraine geringe Erwartungen an die möglichen neuen direkten GesprĂ€che zwischen den Kriegsparteien in Istanbul. Die Hoffnung, dass sich Vertreter Kiews und Moskaus bei den am Montag anvisierten GesprĂ€chen "hinsetzen und verhandeln" bestehe zwar, sie sei aber "sehr gering". Noch im vergaâŠ

Das Problem: Der katholische TrĂ€ger lĂ€sst keine medizinisch indizierten Abtreibungen zu. Der Chefarzt des evangelischem Krankenhauses hat im Arbeitsvertrag festgeschrieben, dass er medizinisch indizierte Abtreibungen durchfĂŒhren darf.

Het NOS journaal laat even weten wat 'gewone' Moskovieten van de Russische oorlog tegen Oekraine vinden. Ja, Rusland heeft gelijk, Oekraine heeft dit aan zichzelf te wijten etc. etc.
Maar het NOS journaal vergeet daarbij te vermelden dat deze Moskovieten bij een tegengeluid het risico lopen om 10 jaar dwangarbeid in de Oeral op te lopen wegens "landverraad'.
Is dit nou domheid, onachtzaamheid, of wat anders? Waarom de Putin propaganda ongefilterd doorgeven?
