seeing a lot of "the episode was about social media and suddenly out of nowhere turned into a commentary on racism" THE WHOLE EPISODE WAS ABOUT RACISM. THE WHOLE THING. IT WAS ALWAYS ABOUT RACISM. from how white everyone was to lindy immediately blocking the doctor while only "sliding" ruby to them all being rich kids to lindy being appalled ruby and the doctor were in the same room to everyone saying they could "tame" the wild woods and "be pioneers". it was ALWAYS about racism.

yes the social media aspect ties into it bc racism is RAMPANT on social media. i specifically noticed how lindy made an effort to say how her clothes were sustainable and then turns around and commits microaggressions against the doctor. its the exact flavor of showboaty performative activism you see everywhere. just because you didnt notice it doesnt mean it wasnt there.

the amount of classic who bts anecdotes which consist of special effect nearly killing someone, one of the cast members deciding to commit to the world's most unhinged bit, or the companions' actors (mostly the women) complaining about nearly freezing to death are... concerning

I like how he's had 2 speeches about timelords having funny names just to casually mention his grand daughters name is just. Susan. Cmon Ruby call him out on that.

Otherwise it resembled a forgotten shrine to some barely remembered god, buried in a lost holy place.

honestly kinda obsessed by this description of the tardis (which goes on to describe the console as looking like an altar)

all that said, the circumstances of regeneration shape an incarnation and romana ii was born out of suicide (self-sacrifice, if gallifrey is to be believed). so. you know. lives shaped by suicide inevitably driven by and towards that act is it any wonder she's messed up if her first incarnation viewed suicide as a game and the second spent twenty years waiting to die

with how often the bbc tried to cancel doctor who in the 80s, one might very well accuse them of being serial killers

official bbc doctor who instagram you are insane for this actually

forgot i made this maybe one of you will find it funny
