Enjoying this “flamboyant evil god” era of Doctor Who villains.

I’m just glad they’re finally introducing villains the Doctor is genuinely scared of again. Making villains scared enough of the Doctor to run away as soon as he introduces himself was fun once or twice, but tiresome when it became routine.

Within the first five minutes of the episode I was ready for Jinkx Monsoon to play the Maestro as a recurring villain on the show for the next five seasons

My thoughts exactly

Only Doctor Who is brave enough to ask "What if Mr. B Natural was evil?"

NPH' villain was much better than I'd hoped - "Well that's alright then" is one of the best lines ever in Who - and this one was creepy as hell. They're building to something that I hope sticks their landing.

Queer-coded villainy on a level you'd think Disney just bought it or.... oh, right.
