having never watched the thirteenth doctor, i just caught up to the battle of ranskoor av kolos and i personally love it. i think everyone has really high expectations for a grand finale with multiple parts but i think this was a simple and well executed finale that concluded the season perfectly and the one episode runtime was just right for the narrative.
to me, the episode is a beautiful exploration of faith. the ux are very clearly adopting imagery of the crucifix but are sacrificing themselves for a false genocidal god. they are still able to maintain their faith and with the help of the neural blockers, come to understand that they have gone against the will of their creator, saving five planets (plus earth really!) from destruction in the name of their faith. meanwhile, graham and ryan commit the ultimate act of courage in refraining from avenging the murderer of their loved one in the name of grace. again, a testament to their faith in what they know to be right and what their Grace would have wanted. yaz maintains her faith in the doctor, refusing to leave her side. the doctor maintains her faith in herself. she started this season not able to remember who she was and she ends it fighting the same evil with utter conviction that she can get everyone out of this (all five planets worth of everyone!) she trusts in her intellect and most importantly, she trusts the courage of her companions to abide by their faith (the ux included).

((His first inclination that something was different was after he lost his powers. Aspheera took Kai's fire, leaving room for something deeper to fill in.
A fire older than time itself, and as bright as a dragon's breath.))

Why the fuck does Wildbrain love removing certain facial traits... girl those crow feet lines are like part of his face! They also, as always, made his mouth boring and generic, and OFC had to change his eyebrows !!!

i love spn but they were weak because you have Dean who is Michael (which means "who is like God?" answer: humanity) and then you have Sam who is Satan (which means "adversary" of whom? answer: humanity) and then you go and explicitily say that Dean is humanity while Sam is ______ totally absent. like, it was there Sam is totally humanity too, they could have gone "you know what? sometimes humanity is a little shit too and it's super messy but this is the mess they're in so what you gonna do" but no, humanity is righteous and good and full of art, hope and dreams and love, AND THAT'S IT.
And then they go and MAKE god a little shit. Like it was soooo thereeeeeee, they haaaad iiiitttt.

that ending was utter shite. so no explanation for the snow that she could miraculously create? her parents end up being some random people and don’t get me started on the bad cgi pointing. the doctor abandons ruby because she has more family (despite a lot of companions juggling family and the doctor)?
like sutek’s death was unexplained? are we supposed to believe that the absolute god of death was able to get killed and as simple as that? also the doctor going “you’re making me be like you and making me kill a living thing 😠😠😠”like babes you’ve literally committed mass genocide before and killed so many people but go off i guess. like you aren’t this pure angel who is only being forced to be a monster now, you’ve been a monster all along the oncoming storm timelord victorious the predator the valeyard
all that build-up this season for NOTHING AT ALL with a rushed ending

thinking about zack and how upset he was by sweets' death that he had a mental breakdown and gave himself a scar and now that scar is a constant reminder every time he looks in the mirror of the only person who believed him and kept in touch with him and loved him dare i say during his time incarcerated and a reminder of the worst day of his life when he lost that person holy shit who's chopping onions in here i'm not crying YOU are
