Rewatching The Death of The Doctor after the Sutekh reveal is really something because it retrospectively makes the shansheeth either the smartest or stupidest villains ever.
Either their plan to take over the TARDIS to prevent all deaths throughout time and space is ingenious cuz they KNOW the key to doing so is to kill Sutekh before he achieves his full power or they DON’T KNOW that the god of death himself is attached to that thing and is not going to let that happen whatsoever and they would be so screwed if the doctor’s hadn’t been there to stop them.
