- killing is always deeply morally wrong, if you can manage not to, don't

- the idea of a planet being able to disintegrate the soul, because the frequencies affect your brain to such an extent that you lose control of emotions and lose memories (crunchy)

- neural balancers that counteract that but which are a scarce resource

- the Ux, who can shape the universe through faith and thought, who exist on a planet that can drive you crazy

- false idols versus the importance of meeting people, seeing other places, striving to develop multiple understandings of the world, even as the truth remains out of reach

- scaling up the conquest/trophy warrior culture stuff to planets

- brave people attempting to fight evil becoming part of an 'obscene' hoard

- the idea of one forcing another to commit atrocities in a species of two (yikes) and the martyr imagery

- the beginnings of new Doctor mythmaking in Andinio's eyes, 'how can you know him?', 'dont worry, I'll take care of him' 'true creator'

- imagery of the Doctor carrying a planet on her back like Atlas ( but, that's she's stuck bombs to because she didn't know what it was - what if it had still been alive??? Horror. Should have been the case.)

- parallel between Doctor as killer, genocider, Tzim-Sha and Graham which should have been explicit, should have been brought to the fore by making the Doctor strain - but it was there, sat somewhere in the history of the series and potential of the episode.

- the Doctor's 'always' changing and sharply enforced moral rules and hypocrisy - made uncomfortable (should have been even more so)

- Yaz' expression of loyalty and devotion. (That the Doctor should get punished for at one point (should have been this season). Or Yaz. Or both.)

- the theme of bringing together disparate strengths and people and resources to solve a problem/make a change

- hints of that dark glee and gloating from the Doctor in the confrontation with Tim

I’ve wanted to watch American Psycho for ages, so reading the book would be really great too!
