I love this story! First off, it's quite a solid historical with an interesting breakdown of this early, significant, attempt to unify the Christian church. It's also nice to see Erimem unleashed again as a character, allowed to be the strident, moral, warrior leader that she should be. It's both refreshing and unnerving as it is a rare example of The Doctor having a companion that will actively oppose him if she believes him wrong.
Also, we begin to see The Fifth Doctor in a new, almost traditionalist light. This Doctor is not a man trying to foment rebellion and being wary of authority figures. He is far more like the First Doctor, trying to observe and respect the time he's in. He is far gentler that those who came after.
