Resurrecting Gallifrey?
Hell yes!
With Conrad as a mold for Rassilon?
Uh....
The indefinite article, you might say.
What makes this Rani and the Fifteenth Doctor’s dynamic different to the past?
Without giving too much away for the finale, this is a Doctor and a Rani of a different time. The annihilation of the Time Lords has affected both these characters in different ways – some of which you can see in my episode. The way the Doctor is affected by the attack on the Arena comes from a place of trauma; and I think that’s something we should expect of the Rani as well.
Rule 1: The Doctor (Who showrunner) lies.
Sure, load 'em up.
I was really just thinking about the mad scientist angle, and how that bit actually works pretty well.
This probably isn't a very original idea, but...could the Rani be Tecteun?

EHLERRRRRRRRS
Archie Panjabi has oozed attitude in what little we’ve seen of her in the part so far
We haven't talked about this enough. She's positively magnetic.
The Rani is famously a scientist, and now she’s a scientist walking into a world where a Pantheon of Gods has been awoken, which is magic in the air. She simply finds it fascinating. To her, it’s a different form of science, she’s not there to reject it. She’s a true scientist with a very open mind. True scientists have open imaginations. Saying, “yes we can go to the moon,” “yes we can travel in time,” “yes, there’s anti-gravity.”
The problem with her experiments and her ideas is that she doesn’t care how many lives she loses along the way. We’ll see her running experiments on a massive scale. The very first scene of the two-part finale will really take people by surprise as to what she’s up to. And from then on, it never stops. It’s a huge extravaganza.
I was glad to read this.
Honestly, I hope not. Even though the stuff with Ruby's mother didn't land super well, I liked the ideas behind it.
I feel like this is probably RTD pulling a George Lucas and making sure that like poetry, it rhymes.
Well it's a good thing it's the greatest piece of television ever produced, then!

I assume she's referring to the day of filming Ford did for that episode.
Right...?
