And I'm quite sure the racist ex-con whose into causing butterfly effects being punted back in time will have no consequences whatsoever.

I mean “villain who can’t directly kill but is really into the butterfly effect” is way too good to pass up.

Also the timeline in Doctor Who is seven shades of buggered anyway.

The thing is, the “queen” spider was suffering an inevitable horrific, painful end and no amount of well meant palliative care on the doctor’s part was going to make things much better for it. Shooting it should have been a mercy. The problem is that the person who pulled the trigger was a callous asshat whose primary concern was how this whole affair effects his chances of being the next Trump. I’m not sure of the writers idioted themselves to this or it was deliberate but this is basically the case that the Doctor came upon the wrong answer for the right reasons and captain planet villain came to the humane answer with the most cynical of thinking behind it. (We could also argue Ryan ‘shooting’ Racist Greaser back to the past, alongside the doc’s indifference to it, was similar in mindset, the right idea with nothing but anger (albeit righteous indignation in that instance) behind it, but I imagine that’s coming close to can’o’worms so that’s as far as I’ll take that one) ConanThe3rd fucked around with this message at 23:36 on Oct 28, 2018 |

Given the Time Racist’s whole butterfly effect thing the story does write itself to a degrees.

Good episode, amazing premise, if I see one more instance of "the aliens are misunderstood" this season I'll slap a bastard.

Necrothatcher posted:What the christ was the point of that? Giant corporations are great and workers rights campaigners are monsters? Oh thank christ, I thought I was the only one who picked up on that. It feels like if you presented this situation to any other doctor the whole place would have been razed to the ground after it comes out in the wash that the robots killed someone to “make a point” with “space amazon workhouse” being on notice from minute one due to its inherent nature and only allowed due to being an employment in a real poo poo situation I’m surprised Brooker hasn’t tried for Black Mirror. Then again, this Doctors’s been sloppy with letting Trump allegories and space death match organisers get away without comeuppance and not caring when a companion pulls a Jason Todd to blast a dood (an asshat who totally deserved it to be sure but still) into the stone age so what’s letting a few new age mavericks loose to share half the workload of an overworked human staff in an amazon future fuckhus?

Teek posted:Correct me if I'm wrong, but the show has never truly resolved/stopped one of its capitalistic hell futures has it? It's always, "well this is resolved + a move/promise is made by those left behind to change things". The Doctor always leaves and then we revisit capitalism's shittyness again in an future season. Granted I’m nu who but I was always under the impression that it was more “Well this problem caused by this being a hellscape is solved, I’m a leave but before that (metaphorically kicks hellscape between the legs) whoops, did I just gently caress everything about this hellscape up? You best go sort that, ta-rah! (Jumps into Tardis)” Hell it’s not like they haven’t done that to effect by showing that doing that won’t always create a desired result (Space-station 13 comes to mind) but this series has been so anti-serial (to the point where there isn’t even multi-parters) that it feels like everything is trapped to its own cubicle and unable to breathe.

Necrothatcher posted:Can someone remind me what the deal with that tub of liquefied workers was? Honestly, I don't think the writers kept track of it. If it was whatshisface then he was clearly sick in the head and the story should have made that clear, if it was the system then that's gotten to Sigma levels of needing to be retired.

corn in the bible posted:The fact that the capitalist evil BBC station in series 1 didn't go away was actually a twist because the Doctor (and audience) thought he'd completely destroyed it, remember I said something about "Station 13" was that not the right name for it?

Being frank I’d rather have a season that is all over the place in terms of quality than one that is aggressively OK besides one genuine shitfest of an episode. Though that said Kill The Moon was so aggressively poo poo that it killed the season it was in stone dead.

Rochallor posted:This series has been so dire that I almost forgot that this exact thing happened almost every. loving. Episode. How many times this series was a character like, "Yeah, my gay partner's loving dead, deal with it." Five? Six? This season's bounced off of me so hard that I can't tell if this is sarcasm.
