Doctor Who review of Season 1 Episode 5 with Ncuti Gatwa is the ultimate Disney Doctor Who. This episode was boring when I watched it, till the end where it was confusing. Then got worse as I thought about it and the 2nd watch through was even worse. This has continued to happen the more I think about it till I recorded an extra bit in the intro to explain with the interview. Having thought more about it I now think I understand the overall message of the show, and the more you work out the worse it gets. This is an episode that I think is malevolent and spiteful. The final expression of London centric execs thinking they're better than the British public. But what did you think of what you saw? Let me know your thoughts down below and as always, thanks for watching :)
Dude... I have only seen this by other people's reviews and I had an inkling of an idea what this episode was about. You confirming it only proves to me that RTD is racist, sexist, heterophobic, ableist, and a bigot of such proportions that I cannot believe in this day and age we are allowing such filth to make this sort of trash. You are doing The Lord's work, my son. And by "The Lord" I am, of course, referring to Azathoth, the mad god who lies dreaming at the heart of reality, whose very dreams allow us to exist. Because this shit is so disturbing it just might wake him up and kill us all.
Did they ever say that ethnic groups exist in that Human society,They arent earth humans. They are the all blue eyes and white. They arent racist, There a monoculture going thru generational trauma event not trusting a strange alien after your 1st encounter with aliens is being eaten isnt Racist its protecting your colony. The doctor for all they know is the slug breeder how want to put them in a Box.
If RTD has run out of ideas for monsters he need only look in the mirror. "Hey I am so racist against white blonde people I make episodes about their genocide because I'm the good guy!"
As a white man, I never realised I was black until my grandmother told me to ignore what everyone else said. Now I can play Black Panther, even though I'm paler and staler than Ryan Gosling.
I'd put in my 5 pounds for a plain ticket to some nice secluded place in the Middle-East for him to ask some questions in a similar vein. The nice bit is we wouldn't need to foot the bill for the return ticket.
But that isn't a problem, only Caucasians need to be a minority in their own nation by his standards, well until we reach the preferred reult his ilk is pushing for and caucasian end up as present as Neanderthals.
In the UK, according to the latest Census, 80% of the population is white British and 20% BAME. Half of BAME is white Eastern European i.e. 90% of the UK population is white. I repeat, 90% of the UK is white. So why is it 'wrong' to have a mostly white cast? The UK is mostly white too, shock horror.
And this is why so many people are getting fed up with adverts which are mainly non-white people because as you say 90% of the population is white so we are not being represented.
because you are bigot if you think using your common sense. From a few years this way I keep asking who the show is for, Star Wars, STD, now Doctor Who. Who is the target audience? All these shows look like ego trips of selfish narcissists spending other people's money. Maybe I'm a bigot, too.
My ageism is apparently much stronger than my racism cause what jumped out at me was the claim that the whole city is 17-27. There's no way that those two lead actors are in that age range! What conspiracy is this??
I think it is because deep down he can see what we can all see. I don't think he cares about racism at all, but he is using it as a weapon to beat the people who haven't given him the levels of acceptance and respect he thinks he is due.
I remember saying things like that when I was a kid Really doesn't hold up when it's a professional grade production Assuming this even counts as professional
I remember RLM talking about how movies made bad on purpose are not as fun to watch as someone that actually tried to make something good but failed hard.
Honestly, my first thought when I saw the people on her social media bubble was "why are they all wearing bright and pastel colors"? So apparently I notice the colors of clothing before skin.
I wasn't even on about any colors. I was thinking about how this episode is literally just a ripoff of Starset's Horizons album. Just straight air lifted the entire album, helidropped it into this show, and added gay racism.
"If you didn't notice the lack of diversity then you're a racist... or it means that diversity doesn't really matter as no one noticed it was missing because TV has been diverse for a very long time now and I'm an idiot"- RTD's full quote but it got edited for "time". He's got a point in that second half.
and you did not notice they are NOT on earth!! if you go to another star system, what would you expect?? RTD should have made therm all bright blue or green!!
I think if someone made a movie right now with a halfway decent story, a few good actors, 90% white cast, clear distinction between good and evil, no gay characters, supportive feminine women, heroic masculine men - and no ‘ironic comedy’ or whatever you’d call the trash they’re including always …anyway a movie with all those attributes would explode. It would be the most popular and love film of the decade and it would also explode the brains of all the right people. Someone with a studio and cash - DOOO ITTT
@@theabhorrentchef7226 I think thats the same mindset against superhero fatigue. I think if someone genuinely made a good story about superheros it would pop off. Im hoping that will happen with Deadpool 3.
God forbid the man sacrifice himself by revealing his real name. God forbid he die a hero's death. Nah, let's just make the woman he's saving an ungrateful cow.
That's part of the subversion of expectation tho - that the protagonist we've followed this whole episode is not a flawed protagonist, slightly rude but can be redeemed - she is actually a horrible, ireedeemable cow
@@jacobrickayzen2744 Considering how Hollywood has been writing Strong Independent Women lately, it's nearly impossible to distinguish a woman who's meant to be an ungrateful cow from a Strong Independent Woman whose every shitty action is justified.
I don’t think he admitted that, either you’re purposely mincing his words or just to blinded by either anger or stupidity to see what he’s actually saying.
@@SamuelBlack84something akin to "you were born with the original sin of being white, or dog forbid white and straight, and you must supplicate yourself perpetually to your betters in payment for that crime, plus your hurting the planet, don't deserve to exist and belief in any religion other than socialism is evil... Here are your marching orders, now have a happy life kids" What's cult like about that?
Btw, Davies says he will never reveal the 73 yards episode explanation, what the old woman Ruby said to everyone that made them run away in terror. So he admits he is a hack.
Bad writing doesn't require forethought or insight. Just spectacle. They just want to look good. It's all shallow. Or maybe he realizes that at some point he's going to have to tell us what old Ruby said to all those people, so he's trying to buy time to have all the people around him come up with something. It'll most likely be dumb. Or he can just attritube it all to "fantasy"
It's strange, I live in Scotland and have been out in town earlier today, visiting multiple shops, a walk through two local parks (including walking past a wedding) and didn't see or interact with any people of colour. Is that enough to make me a racist?
If u dont know who ur voting for, u ain't black... Black kids don't know what a computer is... black ppl can't figure out how to get an id... ya one side constantly goes out of their way to say racist shit then like a child tell u nut uhhh when u point it out
It’s easy to- he just reversed the races to do his fairly based commentary. Imagine being unable to save people from themselves because you are dismissed due to the colour of your skin. Well.
@@jacobrickayzen2744 One very forced line to swing the pendulum the other way doesn't change the moral wrongs of The Fifteenth Doctor. What makes matters worse is that The Doctor didn't respect their choice and help them rebuild. Instead, he left them to die because they didn't do what he wanted them to.
Yeah, really their only issue was making an AI with a chance to go evil… and apparently forgetting how to walk if you don’t have an arrow to follow… outside of that, basically a utopia. What RTD should have had was some rich, straight, white men running the place who make the evil slugs, then it might have been closer to what he wanted to say.
So to summarize, this season's antagonists so far consist of: Episode 1: A snot monster and pro-life laws Episode 2: A weirdo with awful fashion and makeup who likes to hide in pianos Episode 3: A landmine, faith, and bland robot boxes that turn you into dildos/fleshlights Episode 4: An old lady and a welsh politician Episode 5: big slugs, dumb blondes, and racism With grand villains and monsters like this, who needs Daleks, Cybermen, Weeping Angels, Vashta Nerada, Sontarans, Space Werewolf, Pyrovile, Judoon, Silurians, Sea Devils, Autons, Water Zombies, and the nightmare fuel from Midnight...
@@Zeetana1 the odd, slitheens, cybermen, Zygons and daleks also have political messages, the only difference is that you agree more with the politics of the new season, which is not a fair criticism
@@somerandomyoutubeaccount5895 The fact that there has been some kind of political message in older episodes doesn't excuse this kind of blunt-force-trauma "open head and relieve correct belief data" sermonising.
It is hilarious to me that the very idea of a hegemonic society...the way humans lived for thousands of years, is racist now. The people that make these shows do not understand that "diversity" is RECENT for most of the world. This is why they ask "where is all the diversity" in a show about 18th century Japan. Why the inject diverse characters into the Viking age...the idea that history isnt like their office is completely lost on them.
They're more concerned with propagating their delusional ideals rather than doing what a piece of fiction is supposed to do and just tell an entertaining story
"Diversity is recent" actually, it isn't. Especially at large trading hubs of Europe like Italian town-states Byzantine, Western Christian and Islamic cultures as well as people of all kind of ethnicities and probably also skin colors were living together from late Antiquity and there are ample mediaeval sources to proove this, too. In nomadic steppe culture the conquered tribes most often just joined the conquerors and gradually assimilated into them culturally as well as ethnically, so that's why even archeogenetic studies aren't particularly helpful to trace back the origins of Hungarians, just to say one example. Meanwhile, there were in fact other areas existing in the same time that weren't diverse simply because they didn't have that much interaction with the rest of the areas. So it's futile to overgeneralize these things...
@@weirdlittlesister i believe I said "most" not all (next time quote the entire line and not just the part you want) As well as not the way it is today. Also it's less futile to generalize than attempt to be specific for multiple reasons, one being that it takes to long to be specific, if you don't include EVERYTHING then you'll get the typical "actually", and you're less likely to end up with people like yourself trying to educate or correct you if they understand it's a generalization in the first place...because then the only people left are people who HAVE to be specific, can't help themselves and feel the need to let you know it. IE: it's a lot less troublesome to go broad strokes rather than specific because either way there will always be someone to tell you you're wrong or "actually", but at least it filters out which kind of person you're then dealing with, as most people are going to be able to understand it and fewer will have issues with it. In this case, 93 people understood, 1 had an issue with it enough to feel the need to let me know.
I suspect you've confused 'hegemonic' for 'homogeneous.' A 'hegemonic' society is merely one which has an elite, a sub-group that has disproportionate political power. A 'homogeneous' society is one where the people are all the same.
I'm perplexed at the "one moment they literally can't walk to save themselves, a moment later they're confident they can rebuild their entire city from scratch" part. And personally, not wanting an outsider to help you rebuild your community is still low on the racism spectrum in my book.
They refused to be refugees and instead decided to rebuild their own society from the ashes of the old. You can see why the chocolate Nurse What might be offended by that, seeing as his family ran from it and sponged off the benevolent handouts of another.
@@DH-xw6jpthe hull episode was about out of touch rich people ignoring the basic facts that were in front of them. They’re going to die because even when faced with the true, they’re too blinded by their own egos to actually acknowledge the real world around them.
Oh, lemme tell you what's even dumber: all the Doctor had to do was convince them was step back five metres and OPEN THE TARDIS'S DOOR. Of course the Doctor couldn't do something so obvious, because THE SCRIPT NEEDED IT TO NOT HAPPEN and I want Davies removed from the face of the planet.
@@troffle literally one of the people said that his Time Machine was evil voodoo. Even if they saw the inside of the tardis they still wouldn’t have gone inside.
It's not racism. Some outsider with weird beliefs and power they are willing to casually throw around to enforce their wishes (the Dr). If he helps them he has a claim to it. He has the right to a say.
RTD openly admitting he lives in a liberal bubble, writing an episode about people blindly living in their own bubbles and ignoring reality around them. the irony is palpable.
See, this is what I am wondering, how much does his bubble actually despises people of different races. Maybe a lot, and all of them know it very well and even feel a bit shameful. So then, when they make these shows and preach about racism, they think that other people are like themselves! Subconscious guilt for being very real racists who can't stand people who are not like them, this is what RTD is, this is what the message is about.
Thats the problem with these liberal types, and echo chambers in generals, the people inside them think they are the ones that are awake, and everyone else that is ignorant to their enlightenment.
@@somerandomyoutubeaccount5895 - I don't Know about the Other Poster but, I am not in a Bubble at All. I Read a Lot and Listen to Many Different Things. But the Views I Hold Will have Me told I Live in a Buddble and need to become a Critical Thinker, and the Goal of Becoming a Critical Thinker which Thinks for Myself can Only be Proven if I Agree with Them. I also Like the Fact that You are Delusiuonal Enough to Think Recriminating Others to Deflect from Critisism of Yourself is a Goods Way to Prove Something when it Actually Proves Nothing.
That's a twist. Me not paying attention to race makes me a racist. But director who creates an episode looking straight for a color of an actor is not racist. They need a doctor. Or a sentence. Whichever is available sooner...
To say nothing of the fact that white England took in his family when they escaped from an African country where black people were murdering other black people. It's disgusting racism and hideous ingratitude.
To be fair if I look through my friends list the majority of them are white but that's because I live in Essex and the friends I've made over the various decades happened to be white I don't even think about the colour of my friends skin. I live in England. If I lived in Nigeria then yes maybe there would be an issue if all of my friends were white lol
@@CyberSlammer2024 in a majority white country, having a majority of white friends sounds about right. You would have to actively avoid white people to get the inverse result.
1:30 Wait, so they tried to say that viewers who did *not* pay attention to skin color are the problematic ones? That just feels so backwards... I thought people were not supposed to judge others by their skin.
The ideological lunatics change what is bad and good nearly every day. It’s an attempt to fool the slow, naive and uninformed into not seeing just how full of crap they are and have always been. Haha. It’s why they change the names for their conditions and things constantly. “Oh you can’t say that anymore, that’s so bigoted.” “You just said an hour ago that’s what you liked to be called!” “Bigot!!!” Hahaha. They are all lunatics. I pretty much think darn near anyone trying to change the language, terms and phrases at such a constant and fast pace is almost always mentally unwell. Languages change over time. But not by the day or even years in any natural and logically way. They are just addicted to calling others this or that so we won’t focus on how whacked in the head they are and how truly wrong they are about everything. Psychologists and psychiatrists used to be helpful for this type if madness. But now it’s just all “stunning and brave” instead. Haha. 🤪
RTD needs to leave London for a little while. He will find that most towns and villages in the UK are almost entirely ethnically native. The "diversity" is very localised to a handful of towns and cities, particularly London. The reason most Brits wouldn't question having a mostly white cast in a British show is because *that represents their life in Britain.* One might as well be surprised that most Bollywood actors are Indian, or that most anime characters are Japanese.
I grew up in the 90's and I didn't even see a real life not white person until I went to a secondary school that was boarding and had international students.
Theres a surprising amount of European anime characters. The Japanese seem to be quite interested in us. Live action media from Japan does have a lot of Japanese characters in it. The bigots.
@@TheSuperappelflap It's quite limited to anime that takes place in Europe (funnily, America is almost never seen in anime) or in a fictional version of Europe, or in some "medieval" European-ish fantasy. Even then it's pretty hard to tell the race of a character because, duh, it's anime. It only gets obvious when they start throwing around stupid German-sounding names and talk about how the isekai'd Japanese protag looks different and/or ugly to them. On contrary, if we talk about slice of life, romcom, sci-fi or thriller etc that takes place in Japan, seeing a "white" character is extremely rare (and even those rarities more often than not are born and/or raised in Japan, like Olivia from Asobi Asobase). And, importantly, it's almost unheard for them to be voiced by non-Japanese.
My wife is a big Midsomer Murder fan. When I recently watched one with her and asked why almost half of the small English village was black or brown she just shook her head and said “don’t ask”
@@Tallorian Not sure why are you mentioning communism. In USSR there were over 100 distinct nationalities. Japan is much better example with 98,5 percent of japanese people and racial discrimination against immigrants.
@@Aloyiz I am mentioning communism because in the (late) USSR people used to have critical discussions about the government, policies or events with their family and sometimes close friends (so called "kitchen talks") even though they couldn't publicly voice their opinions. So if people in Britain don't feel comfortable to openly criticize and condemn DEI and woke within their families, it means that things there are worse than in the (late) communism. Still, it was mostly a joke on my part. In terms of speech and thought police they're not there, _yet_ .
@@Tallorian the funny thing is. Britain is a Communist country in all but name. We are there yet with the hate speech laws, and they're about to become worse.

...... is it ginger hatred? Im american and now im remembering all the gingers that have been phased out of media. It is horrific at the blatent erasure. Edit: Also is this episode trying to mimic the weeping angels episode where the doctor communicates through tapes
Gingerasure is real. I have a theory in the ginger hatred psyop -- that gingers are depicted unflatteringly because historically they were great explorers and thinkers who founded a lot of societies. It's freaky but true.
@@James.B.Russell they're also associated with isolated homogenous populations. Recessive genetic traits and all that. Their existence is antithetical to the goals of globalist monoculture.
The director fails to self reflect on his own bubble. Whilst saying that living in a bubble is damaging, he seems to be so laser focused within his own, that he is destroying Dr Who.
is he though? RTD is a white boomer who is pretty well off, born and based in wales. most of his peers are the kind of mouth breathers that scream about how everything is 'woke'. knuckledraggers on this thread are saying he is seeing everything from a london perspective - he's not even from london.
RTD's "Queer as Folk" 20 years ago was pretty good - it was effectively a view into a "gay bubble" that was entertaining to straight people. Now, he's in a Londonista bubble that regards itself as righteous and brilliant, and the rest of the country as problematic and something to be assimilated by the Londonista bubble. Detesting Londonista progressives should be a kind of default setting for the rest of the country, reciprocating the contempt they have for us.
@haruyasumi616 he's lived in Manchester since he was 24, hence Queer as Folk being set there. The BBC moved to Manchester and took their outlook with them. I have lived in Central Manchester & zone 2 London - it's all metropolitan liberal land.
"Why didn't you realize there wasn't enough diversity?" Because I don't live in an area where people with machettes run around committing murder, so it isn't something I'd expect to see.
@@somerandomyoutubeaccount5895 You don't know a lot about how London is thanks to being majority non-white, do you? Unless you live there and you're committed to turning a blind eye to all of that because you can't live without foreign food
@@somerandomyoutubeaccount5895 I think what he's referring to is the influx of immigrants and the proportionate rise and crime in historically Caucasian countries in Europe from Great Britain to Sweden and beyond. You literally have African gangs having fights in the streets with hand grenades, and all the liberal social programs which were once the gem of so-called Forward thinking Europe are on the verge of crashing underneath the weight. Unurprisingly it turns out when you declare open borders and allow for an influx of hundreds of thousands of people into a closed area they bring their problems with them, and start to displace anyone who was already there.
In old Who, this would have been a cool horror episode about the dangers of not looking where you are going and relinquishing your freedoms to machines..... New Who - "We don't take kindly to your kind a'round here!" Also how did Ruby and Gatwa get all those people through the 100 digit code door before that Ditzy mare and not find out they were all Bigots....? 'Drama!'
I feel like for old who the monsters were an indigenous race. Their not really a threat because they are slow and easily avoidable. Yet because everyone was so dependent on technology. They were starting to get picked off unaware of the dangers around them. Or in the Matt Smith Era, we could've had cybermen hacking into the social media accounts leading them to factories for conversion.
Likewise, if she can't walk forward without help, how does she run into things without help? Her default state should be NOT moving and NOT running into things.
I'm convinced the last scene was taken directly from a hysterical Davies rant. "I've told you that not watching my show is bigotry...AND YOU'RE STILL CHOOSING NOT TO WATCH!?"
Can't help but notice that, despite trying to make a social commentary about inequality... the entire episode is just one big, "dumb blonde" joke... which is EXTREMELY SEXIST!
I didn't see it as a dumb blonde joke, I don't think it was sexist either cause the boys were also dumb. Everyone was, they were so complacent and rich they didn't need to be smart. The gingers were also dumb. Everyone was.
I wonder how hard they were leaning on the "dumb blonde" trope when they decided to make everyone look like Barbie and Ken. THAT is what looked wrong to me. Everyone looked fake and plastic.
@@sarasunshinemt4444 I think that was the point though..they're rich socialites. A good base for that design is barbie and ken. (Could've used better wigs in my opinion, If they used wigs)
Oh yeah. I had problems with Peter Capaldi's performance and you'll find many a comment where I've bashed his portrayal of the Doctor. However, the man was a professional. When people criticized him, he simply took it in stride and tried to improve. Sometimes, he swung for the fences in ways that didn't really work - turning the Doctor into a sociopath was one of them and did you know he also suggested the guitar because he wanted to go back to his punk rock roots? - but he was always respectful towards the audience.
@@tomnorton4277The guitar stuff was cool, i mean, wouldnt a guy that lived over 500 years, at some point learn instruments? As for the sociopath thing, i think it definitely gets less evident as he approached his Regeneration, his final speech for the master sorta reflected his growth.
Is that how you read it? I read it as he's reacting in bewilderment at people declining salvation at his hands even after he's gone through so much effort trying to save them and they too have come so far. The doctor wants to save other people and he cannot always save everyone which he struggles with. For once, he can save everyone in the room and they choose not to be saved. It messes with his worldview. That's what gets him to freak out not them 'not liking him' (which I would rephrase as them being racist. They don't dislike his character they dislike his skin colour).
@@jacobrickayzen2744 Problem is, it doesn't feel earned with this doctor. Tell me, what has the 15th doctor done so far? He didn't save anyone, in fact, people had to save HIM, as if he was stupid enough to not know how to save himself. 9 Faced an entire dalek fleet, 10 faced a Dalek and Cybermen invasion, 11 beat the silence as well as protecting one planet for years, 12 endured torture for god knows how long and faced the time lords after escaping, 13......uh, well, she did beat the master, i guess. Can't say much about 14, haven't seen the christmas episode. Regardless, you get the point.
RTD controls who does what, who gets cast, then tries to make this some scathing indictment of society that everyone else is supposed to answer for. Russell, it's you who have to justify what you put on screen, not us.
Well he has said he associates disability with being evil, so it's nice of him to be so blatant about his other beliefs. This season alone a black person has been proud about not having a job and not paying taxes and a gay man has told a child incapable of growing up that they are perfect the way they are. This is show is just RTD airing out his personal beliefs at this point. (There are most likely other examples of his "morals" but I'm sure as shit not gonna watch the show to find out), even these reviews can have too much of the filth.
The only person making this is him. It's indicative of a sick mind. No one is making him write this dross. Then he gets judgemental of anyone else but himself.
@@Syaniiti That is concerning the child one. That really isn't normal. And there is no way you'd tell a infant who could think but never grow up they're perfect. No. They are deformed. And I am aware of disorders that stop growth. It's horrific. Genuinely, deeply, horrific. And those poor people would not wish it on anyone, if they had any sense. And the disability is thought of as evil is downright bizarre. That isn't what most people think at all.
So disability is evil? Thanks RTD, when I'm shuffling myself into my wheelchair to wheel myself from the bedroom, I'll try to remember that. (Yes, that was a poor attempt at sarcasm. Moron.)
I think it's hilarious that the girl who supposedly doesn't know how to walk has the legs of someone who obviously gets a decent amount of exercise and looks after themselves. This is top notch casting.
She can walk, just doesn’t know how to avoid dumping into things. Like what we literally saw on screen. She kept bumping into desks, then hit a poll twice.
None of this was filmed in London. The Finetime exteriors were shot at Swansea Campus, and the little boat at the end is known as 'The Daffodil', a diesel tour boat you can find down at Cardiff bay, owned by a friend of mine!
As a French guy who watched the episode in english, I didn't even picked up the racism "reveal" at the end. It appeared to me as just bigotery from rich kids thinking they don't need any outside help (doesn't make much more sense tho) 😕
I agree they just look like rich out of touch people, im pretty sure they would discriminate against white people too if they were wearing work boots and an overall.
Russel Davies returning to Doctor Who is Bob Iger levels of stupid. Despite being somewhat of a hack, he left with a legacy, was well liked and had dignity yet came back to double down on the mistakes and burn it all to the ground.
You mean like Biden becoming president? He was a well liked VP and had a political legacy. But how he is now asking around looking lost while destroying the economy.
He's really not a hack; he CAN write, whereas Moffat struggles to write competently without someone hovering over his shoulder and keeping him from indulging in his impulses. RTD has simply chosen not to bother anymore.
Remember the episode where the doctor goes into a underground highway. Where he finds out that everyone is stuck in a traffic jam and his companion was kidnapped by a couple who wanted a third person to travel faster. So while everyone is waiting days just to travel 5 feet, they use social media to keep in contact with everyone. Just to keep their sanity. Good times.
And the Face of Bo was there and gave his life to save New Earth. This is the same episode where we learn that the doctor is "not alone" foreshadowing the master.
That one was a grim episode. But good. They were keeping them down below to avoid a virus. It was one big traffic jam. And it did use social media properly. And it looked like social media. A thing to keep in contact.
the idea of people being so distracted by social media to notice the monster would make for a great episode but that would've been written better 10 years ago.
There is no reason to watch. I'm totally convinced that the only ones watching it are UA-camrs who want to make videos about it. Nobody else is viewing it.
Reddit keep saying these are the best episodes ever with the best writing, messaging, doctor, and companion. I’m sick of the community in there, nothing neutral or critical is allowed.
They went to an ALIEN planet. It's totally normal in SciFi to have all aliens from a given planet to look similar so that the audience can tell that "These are the aliens. You can expect them to all act similarly."
Yeah, I 100% agree! I wish they’d done more to set these guys apart from regular old humans though, even something simple like pointed ears or something. I mean I know series 1 established that humans go out and mingle, but it was implied there was a decent deal of variation between all the human subspecies
I'm scottish. I go WEEKS without seeing anyone thats not white. I didn't even get it at The end of the episode. I had to watch the Unleashed episode to understand what they were trying to say. I thought it was going to be a 'hate the rich' episode. I mean a weirdo tells you to climb into his wooden box, what are you going to do? I'm just back from a cruise. A ship of about 3000 passengers. I think there were only 3 families that were non-white, and 1 of them had a white mother, and I didn't think it was particularly odd. Honestly most of the UK has that ratio. (Although almost all of the staff were POC, I'm sure RTD would have had a field day with that.) I only noticed because someone else pointed it out. That's just the UK population. We shouldn't be made to feel ashamed of our genes. That's not fair.

Gatwa's soliloquy "why why why" moment when the yuppies wouldn't let him save them sounded like a girl's hissy fit at the cosmetic counter because a particular shade of nail polish wasn't available and NOT a person witnessing a group of kids boating to their death.
Don’t forget the copious amounts of saliva he spit while having that tirade. Haha. You’re right though. It was the definition of throwing a hissy fit. 😂 “Let me save you! Mommy! They don’t like me, I’m not pastel enough for them!” Ahahaha!
I don’t look for racism where ever I go. I don’t think that way. When you have racism on your mind 24/7 maybe you are the true racist. I just treat people with kindness and respect. I don’t judge people by the color of their skin.
@@somerandomyoutubeaccount5895"Anti" racism is all about looking at people and making assumptions based on their skin color. The very definition of racism.
@@somerandomyoutubeaccount5895 you know how you be anti-racist? Simply don't be racist. Treat people equally; do those two things and boom, you're anti-racist. What else are you asking for 😂
@@somerandomyoutubeaccount5895 Anti-Racism is built on the concept of fighting fire with fire. So yes, anti-racism is racist in and of itself because it is the weaponization of racism to push other groups away. Like using a controlled burn to eat up all the fuel in the path of a much more dangerous fire so it cannot spread. The downside of course is that if done improperly and not in a controlled manner anti-racism is just going to lead to a massive race war that will see minority groups eradicated. Much like what almost happened in World War 2.
If you want a story with depth, it needs to be layered like an onion. For instance, a well written prison escape episode would take place in a prison within a prison within a prison within a prison within a prison. The Doctor would find himself in a high-security cell, deep within the bowels of a fortified prison complex. Beyond his cell, he discovers that he's actually trapped within a secret, underground facility - a prison built specifically to hold the most dangerous and valuable prisoners. This secret prison is additionally hidden beneath the main prison complex, unknown to the outside world. But as he delves deeper, he shockingly discovers that even the underground prison, and the main prison complex above, are both contained within a remote, heavily guarded island - an inescapable super-prison from which no one has ever broken free! Now, he must devise a plan to break out of not one, but four prisons - his cell, the underground facility, the prison above, and the island fortress itself. Only to then realize, and here's the real twist, the island is on an entire prison planet! Truly layered storytelling!
i laughed so hard at that ending cause they basically made fun of their so called audience all those people in that community are full gen Z and LGBTQ types and Russel T Davies called them all racist idiots lol
@somerandomyoutubeaccount5895 yes but my point is they made fun of the new audience that they are aiming for which is like super stupid just pick a lane
1. Depicting a high trust society where everyone is happy and crime free without diversity. 2. Women will throw men under the bus, even if they claim to love them and men do everything for them. 3. Don't trust authority or AI. 4. Live in the woods and live off of the land, rather than being "saved" by a diverse individual. This might be the most accidentally based episode of Doctor Who ever.
@@cdevil9488 Of course. The people that write this crap think that normal/wholesome etc is bad/wrong, so everything they try to portray as broken is actually perfectly fine. Similarly, their lack of awareness leads them to include situations they think are awesome but which actually speak to just how morally bankrupt they are. /shrug
Once DrWho eventually dies, RTD(if he needs some money or a job) will eventually release an interview explaining why none of this was his fault and that he and the other writers and producers was forced into making this drivel...because sucess has many parents and failure is an orphan.
RTD: OHHHH! You'll never see the twist! it'll take you forever to figure it out! We SO SUBTLY hid clever hints that even Sherlock would have a time catching them!!! Me five seconds in: Wow. Everyone but the Doctor is white... I wonder if they're gonna be evil, inept, and racist?
A shout out to That Mitchell and Webb Look, this is why I'm subscribed to Disparu. Between Disparu and the BBC, Disparu is still the only person who's actually put actual british culture on screen and praised it. 😂
Exactly what I said I didn't realise there was a lack of diversity because one of the main characters was black! Give me strength none of this messaging makes any sense does it!!!
@@tears_of_the_kingdom absolutely. He's so patronising towards people assuming he is the educated completely non-racist white person educating us. It's actually insulting a lot of what he says in the interviews now.
@@tears_of_the_kingdomexactly! I find it so strange that they think there’s some kind of fundamental difference between people, based purely on skin colour, it’s like we’re regressing.
I didn't really pick up on anything because I assumed it was a space society where everyone was a robot or a clone. The ending was super stupid with how the Doctor just shrugged and left them to die. Remember when the Doctor tried to save Davros? Literal Space Hitler?
8:07 this reminds me so much of a CNN reporter, standing in front of a burning building during the George Floyd riots, and trying to claim it was a mostly peaceful protest.
I'm honestly baffled on RTD's comment, regarding what yopur response should be if you see a place with majority or all white people in. I live in Hungary and majority of the people are Hungarians, which naturally means we are mostly white which also means most of our media also represents that. Does this mean we are racists and hate non-white people? Course not, it's just that our country happens to be in the middle of Europe. I also don't get why it's a problem if something isn't fully diverse. When I watch anime I fully expect the characters to be Japanese. Likewise I don't bet an eye when I watch a European show and majority of the cast of it is *gasp* white people. This notion of if something has many white people in but not other ethnicity is bad, is just so tiring... Newsflash to the BBC: many countries are not like the UK where 50% of the population are not even British anymore. To those living in such countries, it's not weird seeing a British show with majority white people in as historically Brirtain was like that. I'm just so tired of this narrative that anything where the majority are white people is wrong and should be ashamed.
RTD has to push this despicable narrative because the majority population in the UK are starting to realize their government lied to them when they said 'diversity is our strength.' Now that UK citizens are noticing the horrible truth of illegal immigrants destroying their country and eroding their culture they have to pretend that anyone pointing it out is a racist.
Davies is just engaging in the trendy form of racism. I'm mixed race myself and think it's ridiculous. And by the way the UK is only around 20% non-native British. The native peoples of the UK are often underrepresented in film/TV/ads, though, so your mistake is understandable.
Ah, the 50% bit is London being more than 50% not English; still majority British. Also London is not the UK and sadly too many people don't understand that.
The Orville did the “social media taking over the real world would make our brains rot” so much better. This episode would have been so much better if Cute Guy had survived the annoying lady’s attempt to get him killed, is horrified at watching his own people turn down help over something so silly, And is the only one to accept The Doctor’s help. Then they watch as the population ticker for the colony hits zero as well, and he’s the only one of his species left alive. Have some sort of deep philosophical conversation before finding him a welcoming planet to go take refuge on. Oh wait, RTD already f-king did that story ending. It was Voyage of the Damned, from nearly 20 years ago. Where the Doctor desperately tries to save the survivors as the AI are trying to kill them, but he loses them one at a time until the only one of the group left was the selfish narcissist. Then the old guy tour guide has said deep philosophical conversation with the Doctor, before the Doctor takes him down to the planet Earth that he’s loved reading about (incorrectly) and basically does his “lottery ticket” thing for him. And that old guy even gets a name drop in the next season so you know things ended up alright for him. RTD can’t even match _his own writing_ from 20 years ago. How. How is that possible.
That is amazing, you’re right. Maybe this is Russell’s maladjusted clone? He used to write rad stories but I assume smart people kept his madness in check. Now though he’s fully in charge, most even more of his mind and creates this garbage. Or, maybe this Russel guy actually has all the good original new Who episodes ghost written and he just always sucked terribly?
@@VoidPocket I really don’t know. It baffles me. I was trying to put my finger on what felt “off” about the ending, and in writing out what would have worked better I realized it seemed way too familiar, and eventually remembered VotD. Are there more episodes that are this way, just new skin on the scaffolding of his old stories? So now I wonder if all RTD can do is write “new” stories on the bone structure of old stories, but now “put a woman in it and make it gay”.
@@ChaniElkin Glad you liked the outline I sketched out in like, 10 minutes, proving layman are actually better writers than these “”professionals””. The crying at the drop of a hat is in fact a problem, I agree. The 9th, 10th, and 11th Doctors showed their emotions all the time, up to and including crying in cases of severe emotion (I assume 12 as well, but I hated the writing in series 8 and 9 and slowly stopped watching). It was much more effective to see David Tennent devastated than it ever was to see Gatwa squeeze out yet another set of crocodile tears. I feel the exact same about Loki. In 2015 I would have been beyond stoked to hear he got his own TV show. By 2017/18 I would just be cringing, which is in fact what I did the whole time watching the reviews. RTD is too much of a hack writer to be able to figure out a way for the green-blood people to accidentally cause their own downfall with their racism. No, it has to be blatant, direct and to Gatwa’s face in a way that no real racist ever really acts, because we have to pound the 🔴 *message* 🔴 into your eyeballs, and then Gatwa just kinda can’t do anything because he’s a giant failure as the Doctor.

@@Harew0lf You think the UK Tory party would think this show too "coloured"? have you paused to look at the cabinet of said party over the last ten years? Have you noticed the pint sized PM?
So proud of the BBC for making a episode that dares to show how they view the world and bubble they live in, even down to the fact that the BBC and RTD are racist.
@somerandomyoutubeaccount5895 by thinking that "minorities" need the white people's help because they believe that minorities are too stupid to think for themselves.
@@somerandomyoutubeaccount5895 Simple people like BBC and RTD despise Britain and it's culture, they also seem to have issues with white people and think if something has only white people in it then it's racist. They also think they're the saviours of the minority and without their help they will get nowhere and are leaderless. Ever heard of the white saviour complex? They are hypocrites about migration, they don't mind it coming and living in the working class area or poor people area, but as soon as they turn up their middle class gated communities then suddenly they demand these people be moved away.
“I don’t know how to walk” 😂😂😂 She literally walks into a pole…TWICE 😂 Jesus Christ! RTD has officially fallen off his rocker. For the 11 people still watching this shite…enjoy 😆
That too would have an easy fix, the floating chairs from Wall-E and the people literally don't need to walk and therefore never need to learn it. The chair is on autopilot and you could still have your dumb "into a pole" -moment after the doctor hacks the chair to be drivable or some shit. You'd need an actually believable person to play the part of the Doctor ofc. And a showrunner who wasn't a massive bigot, and a few other things. But you could fix the episode where an alien race refuses to be helped by the Doctor because he's a timelord.
@@Syaniiti OR just dont have people walking into poles for a quick, easy laugh from 6 year olds. Could just have the Doctor fart and it would make this new audience laugh.
I think RTD will get a heart attack when he find out most countries have verry few black people. And I mean the Capitals, usually the most diverse part of a country. The mumber falls even further outside of capital.
yeah, that was my take. I haven't seen any straight white man so everything seemed normal for RTD show. But he tricked me again. Being just queer or a woman is not good enough for him anymore.
Does the UK have their own version of a California Valley Girl/Surfer Dude stereotype? It feels like this episode was targeted more at Americans, which is odd because Doctor Who is usually very British in its culture and cultural references.
@@somerandomyoutubeaccount5895 Yeah, it was about White people because they had no clue if he was rich, but they knew he was Black. Also, White people are a minority as well. The world is bigger than just "the West".
I mentioned that as well because it sounded so bizarre. And like the first comment here I also thought it was a way for them to not say “I swear to God.” Man people today are lunatics. So far we have “Go touch grass” and “I swear to the sky.” I can’t wait to see what other insane drivel they have this whack doctor say. Maybe something like “Go get a job selling flamingos!?” “I could just scratch my pinky toe twelve times!?”
Wondered if all these ‘kids’ were AI versions of themselves at first. Also wondered why The Doctor was bent on reaching out to help this particular girl. I kept asking my husband ‘but why her?!’ I found it to be a very sad commentary on a potential future where absentee parents send off their kiddos who are so superficial, vapid and self-centric… that was SO hard to watch! When the half brained girl finally turns on her savior (after seemingly falling for him even stating this may be the best day of her life… in spite of thousands being eaten alive) while he’s been so protective of her, I was gobsmacked. Surely they cannot try to save her?!?! She has zero value… she gives nothing of substance to anyone and throws people under the bus to save herself… I didn’t get the race card at all. By the comment we can’t go with you, you’re different not one of us, I took it that the Doctor isn’t human, neither of them from ‘the bubble’ and because of that brainwashing, they couldn’t logic step beyond that indoctrination. You can’t fix stupid. Goth guy and September were the only real people who cared to have a thought truly beyond themselves. The apartments/homes looked beautiful and I kept thinking how sad it was they couldn’t care to notice. They couldn’t care to explore their park like setting, possibly take in nature, nobody had pets ( what they meant by sterile?) And half wit girls smug expression and assumptions regarding the Doctors duty to save her were too much. Watching this was like pulling together all the negative, cruel and thoughtless trolling on socials and labeling humanity like this. That being the case, it’s completely understandable that the AI dots would see no use for us.
It's not a bad message not to fall into echo chambers but honestly seeing this it was more of "Why are they trying to save this idiot?" and "Why are they all weird-looking?" all those pastel colours and almost glowing eyes rather than "Oh racism" Russell hasn't really come back with awesome scripts for this "New, new Who"
In the beginning when the bubble pops up I did notice a gay man, a possible trans man, a blue haired lesbian, and the darker skinned doctor. At least the LGHDTV crowd was represented. OK RTD, in the next few episodes I expect you to include Pacific Islanders, Inuits, African Pygmies, Sherpas, etc.
Sheesh! If I saw a monster eating a person, I'm calling the cops (well, dailing 911, since I'm in the US), and if someone stated that this place had been disinfected, I would have assumed that it was those monsters. I'm starting to think that RTD stands for someone with difficulties learning.
People in a very clean looking city enclosed inside a physical bubble for reasons not explained, undergoing an attack by giant slugs, refer to disinfectant? You're r cist if you don't see that that is clearly a r ce based microaggression! Absolutely RTDed.
Per a theme of "racism," can we finally admit that this current incarnation should be called "Doctor Blackface?" Think about it... RTD, a white producer, put a black face on an historically white, BRITISH character.
Interestingly, it maintains its audience after the initial drop. Even jumped up a bit in the last episode. I wonder if those are mostly genuine fans of this kind of writing or just numerous hatewatchers?
@@Tallorian We'll have to see if this is the base line for fan numbers. I doubt hate watchers make up a significant portion of the numbers although I expect there are some. I think it likely that most people who watch simply view it for whatever entertainment value it might possess and spend little to no time thinking about any messaging.
This episode lacks a critical amount of self-awareness since the only people addicted to social media and blindly following the destructive messages of it, are people like rtd who think "the modern audience" exists
I grew up enjoying all-black movies and sitcoms, i wouldnt watch them thinking "hey, where are the white people?" Why would i do that with an all white British show...? isnt there a word for people that sees things through the lens of race?
Agree. To see identity is what causes xenophobia. That is similar if you say. You have to see which sport club every person support to see their privilege (Manchester City is the most privileged etc. ). But the judgement just develps if you see the identity. It was not there before without seeing the identity.
@@willhiggins9563 If you accuse somebody of racism, you have to have psychic abilities. You dont know how somebody acts. What they are doing is similar to these Amber Heart fans. You claim something without proof and expect everybody to call you virtuous although you are the one that is not virtuous.
Doctor Who review of Season 1 Episode 5 with Ncuti Gatwa is the ultimate Disney Doctor Who. This episode was boring when I watched it, till the end where it was confusing. Then got worse as I thought about it and the 2nd watch through was even worse. This has continued to happen the more I think about it till I recorded an extra bit in the intro to explain with the interview. Having thought more about it I now think I understand the overall message of the show, and the more you work out the worse it gets. This is an episode that I think is malevolent and spiteful. The final expression of London centric execs thinking they're better than the British public. But what did you think of what you saw? Let me know your thoughts down below and as always, thanks for watching :)
Dude... I have only seen this by other people's reviews and I had an inkling of an idea what this episode was about. You confirming it only proves to me that RTD is racist, sexist, heterophobic, ableist, and a bigot of such proportions that I cannot believe in this day and age we are allowing such filth to make this sort of trash. You are doing The Lord's work, my son.
And by "The Lord" I am, of course, referring to Azathoth, the mad god who lies dreaming at the heart of reality, whose very dreams allow us to exist.
Because this shit is so disturbing it just might wake him up and kill us all.
Did they ever say that ethnic groups exist in that Human society,They arent earth humans. They are the all blue eyes and white. They arent racist, There a monoculture going thru generational trauma event not trusting a strange alien after your 1st encounter with aliens is being eaten isnt Racist its protecting your colony. The doctor for all they know is the slug breeder how want to put them in a Box.

In the UK, according to the latest Census, 80% of the population is white British and 20% BAME. Half of BAME is white Eastern European i.e. 90% of the UK population is white. I repeat, 90% of the UK is white. So why is it 'wrong' to have a mostly white cast? The UK is mostly white too, shock horror.
Because the BBC is run by racists that want to get rid of all white people, nothing else would make sense.
And this is why so many people are getting fed up with adverts which are mainly non-white people because as you say 90% of the population is white so we are not being represented.
Because they just hate white, it becomes more and more obvious lately
its 87 percent in the us...unless you count Southern European as not white, which they do when convenient
because you are bigot if you think using your common sense. From a few years this way I keep asking who the show is for, Star Wars, STD, now Doctor Who. Who is the target audience?

My ageism is apparently much stronger than my racism cause what jumped out at me was the claim that the whole city is 17-27. There's no way that those two lead actors are in that age range! What conspiracy is this??

What did RTD mean by this?
That’s because everyone there is mostly just brainwashed drones. (Except Ricky, He was okay)
I noticed that too. Seems out of place from the overall aim of what he wanted for this episode, very odd.
I think it is because deep down he can see what we can all see. I don't think he cares about racism at all, but he is using it as a weapon to beat the people who haven't given him the levels of acceptance and respect he thinks he is due.
You know what RTD meant by that.
@@MattersOfOpinion-x4d Yeah this "diversity" push in recent years... is all for show, and has no substance.
Classic "it's done wrong on purpose" excuse. So Stunning and Brave
I remember saying things like that when I was a kid

Assuming this even counts as professional
I remember RLM talking about how movies made bad on purpose are not as fun to watch as someone that actually tried to make something good but failed hard.
I do that with my taxes; never works for some reason. ;)
Much like Wimp-Lo, RTD was trained badly on purpose.
I should start doing that with my writing. Every time someone complains, "oh, I did that on purpose just to get engagement :D"
Honestly, my first thought when I saw the people on her social media bubble was "why are they all wearing bright and pastel colors"? So apparently I notice the colors of clothing before skin.
It made me think of Morticia Addams. ^^
@CourtneyIsGoblin Yeah, that's what creeped me out. Are brainwashed people not comfortable with darker colors?
I wasn't even on about any colors. I was thinking about how this episode is literally just a ripoff of Starset's Horizons album. Just straight air lifted the entire album, helidropped it into this show, and added gay racism.
Same, I noticed these bright and pleasing colors and a definite style going on.

"If you didn't notice the lack of diversity then you're a racist... or it means that diversity doesn't really matter as no one noticed it was missing because TV has been diverse for a very long time now and I'm an idiot"- RTD's full quote but it got edited for "time". He's got a point in that second half.
Which again, has a prominent black character in the movie...you know, the doctor.
and you did not notice they are NOT on earth!! if you go to another star system, what would you expect?? RTD should have made therm all bright blue or green!!
Definitely the latter from Mr We-want-to-avoid-associating-disability-with-evil.
I think if someone made a movie right now with a halfway decent story, a few good actors, 90% white cast, clear distinction between good and evil, no gay characters, supportive feminine women, heroic masculine men - and no ‘ironic comedy’ or whatever you’d call the trash they’re including always …anyway a movie with all those attributes would explode.

Bad writing doesn't require forethought or insight. Just spectacle. They just want to look good. It's all shallow.

More importantly did you touch grass while you was out and about. Nkutis instructions
"Grass in the local parks... WHITE!"
Sounds like where I grew up in north Idaho in the U.S.
It doesn't make you racist, it makes you safe.
I feel like modern Doctor Who is about how much r*cism you can get away with on TV and still have people stand up to defend you.
Infinite so long as you direct it at the right people or frame it in the right way.
If u dont know who ur voting for, u ain't black... Black kids don't know what a computer is... black ppl can't figure out how to get an id... ya one side constantly goes out of their way to say racist shit then like a child tell u nut uhhh when u point it out
It’s easy to- he just reversed the races to do his fairly based commentary.
Imagine being unable to save people from themselves because you are dismissed due to the colour of your skin. Well.
It's literally calling out racism not being racist. It depicts racist characters as backwards and narrow minded and wrong.
@@jacobrickayzen2744 One very forced line to swing the pendulum the other way doesn't change the moral wrongs of The Fifteenth Doctor. What makes matters worse is that The Doctor didn't respect their choice and help them rebuild. Instead, he left them to die because they didn't do what he wanted them to.
All white society:
No crime
No poverty
No trash
No homelessness
RTD didn’t portray the message he hoped to 😳
Yeah, really their only issue was making an AI with a chance to go evil… and apparently forgetting how to walk if you don’t have an arrow to follow… outside of that, basically a utopia. What RTD should have had was some rich, straight, white men running the place who make the evil slugs, then it might have been closer to what he wanted to say.
That sounds like Tory manifesto that all Tories have a j.Arthur over then go back to reality
As a guy who lives near a US Blue City, it’s an accurate portrayal.
@@NathanCassidy721 blue city ?
@@graemewilson7975 Democrat-run. Their main campaign color has been blue.
Wonder if RTD watches K dramas and complains they're all Korean 😂
No, he probably thinks they're all minorities in their own land.
RTD... Is that the abbreviation for Retardation Transmitting Disease, right?
Of course not. He's a racist against one specific group.
nope only if a white straight male is in the drama
"Wait a minute... you white?"
*screams in Korean Drama*
So to summarize, this season's antagonists so far consist of:
Episode 1: A snot monster and pro-life laws
Episode 2: A weirdo with awful fashion and makeup who likes to hide in pianos
Episode 3: A landmine, faith, and bland robot boxes that turn you into dildos/fleshlights
Episode 4: An old lady and a welsh politician
Episode 5: big slugs, dumb blondes, and racism
With grand villains and monsters like this, who needs Daleks, Cybermen, Weeping Angels, Vashta Nerada, Sontarans, Space Werewolf, Pyrovile, Judoon, Silurians, Sea Devils, Autons, Water Zombies, and the nightmare fuel from Midnight...
Every episode is pushing some agenda.

The fact that there has been some kind of political message in older episodes doesn't excuse this kind of blunt-force-trauma "open head and relieve correct belief data" sermonising.
It is hilarious to me that the very idea of a hegemonic society...the way humans lived for thousands of years, is racist now. The people that make these shows do not understand that "diversity" is RECENT for most of the world.
This is why they ask "where is all the diversity" in a show about 18th century Japan. Why the inject diverse characters into the Viking age...the idea that history isnt like their office is completely lost on them.
They're more concerned with propagating their delusional ideals rather than doing what a piece of fiction is supposed to do and just tell an entertaining story
@zeroryuj6093 It's obsessive.
"Diversity is recent" actually, it isn't. Especially at large trading hubs of Europe like Italian town-states Byzantine, Western Christian and Islamic cultures as well as people of all kind of ethnicities and probably also skin colors were living together from late Antiquity and there are ample mediaeval sources to proove this, too. In nomadic steppe culture the conquered tribes most often just joined the conquerors and gradually assimilated into them culturally as well as ethnically, so that's why even archeogenetic studies aren't particularly helpful to trace back the origins of Hungarians, just to say one example. Meanwhile, there were in fact other areas existing in the same time that weren't diverse simply because they didn't have that much interaction with the rest of the areas. So it's futile to overgeneralize these things...
@@weirdlittlesister i believe I said "most" not all (next time quote the entire line and not just the part you want) As well as not the way it is today. Also it's less futile to generalize than attempt to be specific for multiple reasons, one being that it takes to long to be specific, if you don't include EVERYTHING then you'll get the typical "actually", and you're less likely to end up with people like yourself trying to educate or correct you if they understand it's a generalization in the first place...because then the only people left are people who HAVE to be specific, can't help themselves and feel the need to let you know it.
IE: it's a lot less troublesome to go broad strokes rather than specific because either way there will always be someone to tell you you're wrong or "actually", but at least it filters out which kind of person you're then dealing with, as most people are going to be able to understand it and fewer will have issues with it.
In this case, 93 people understood, 1 had an issue with it enough to feel the need to let me know.
I suspect you've confused 'hegemonic' for 'homogeneous.' A 'hegemonic' society is merely one which has an elite, a sub-group that has disproportionate political power. A 'homogeneous' society is one where the people are all the same.
I'm perplexed at the "one moment they literally can't walk to save themselves, a moment later they're confident they can rebuild their entire city from scratch" part. And personally, not wanting an outsider to help you rebuild your community is still low on the racism spectrum in my book.
They refused to be refugees and instead decided to rebuild their own society from the ashes of the old.
You can see why the chocolate Nurse What might be offended by that, seeing as his family ran from it and sponged off the benevolent handouts of another.

@@troffle literally one of the people said that his Time Machine was evil voodoo. Even if they saw the inside of the tardis they still wouldn’t have gone inside.
It's not racism. Some outsider with weird beliefs and power they are willing to casually throw around to enforce their wishes (the Dr).
If he helps them he has a claim to it. He has the right to a say.
RTD openly admitting he lives in a liberal bubble, writing an episode about people blindly living in their own bubbles and ignoring reality around them.
the irony is palpable.
See, this is what I am wondering, how much does his bubble actually despises people of different races. Maybe a lot, and all of them know it very well and even feel a bit shameful. So then, when they make these shows and preach about racism, they think that other people are like themselves!
Subconscious guilt for being very real racists who can't stand people who are not like them, this is what RTD is, this is what the message is about.
Ncuti admitted that he lived in a left wing bubble. RTDumbass was insistent that his critics were in the bubble and that HE was in the real world.
Aren’t you also just in the conservative bubble?
Thats the problem with these liberal types, and echo chambers in generals, the people inside them think they are the ones that are awake, and everyone else that is ignorant to their enlightenment.

That's a twist. Me not paying attention to race makes me a racist. But director who creates an episode looking straight for a color of an actor is not racist. They need a doctor. Or a sentence. Whichever is available sooner...
It's not even a new twist. The Far Left have been screeching that "not seeing color is racist" for at least a decade now.
Some would say a trip without return to a south african country and then after they get all the diversity they can handly they will shut up period.
To say nothing of the fact that white England took in his family when they escaped from an African country where black people were murdering other black people. It's disgusting racism and hideous ingratitude.
Too bad the show doesn't have a doctor.
Seems to me the sentence will come sooner, seeing as the doctor's dead n' all.
Her social group was white???? I thought they were all GAY, and like, "Oh, pride month."

RTD needs to leave London for a little while. He will find that most towns and villages in the UK are almost entirely ethnically native. The "diversity" is very localised to a handful of towns and cities, particularly London.
The reason most Brits wouldn't question having a mostly white cast in a British show is because *that represents their life in Britain.* One might as well be surprised that most Bollywood actors are Indian, or that most anime characters are Japanese.
The episode is about the rich not white people.
I grew up in the 90's and I didn't even see a real life not white person until I went to a secondary school that was boarding and had international students.
he doesn't live in london, champ. he's welsh. BBC wales isn't in london. it is in fact, in wales.
Theres a surprising amount of European anime characters. The Japanese seem to be quite interested in us.
Live action media from Japan does have a lot of Japanese characters in it. The bigots.
@@TheSuperappelflap It's quite limited to anime that takes place in Europe (funnily, America is almost never seen in anime) or in a fictional version of Europe, or in some "medieval" European-ish fantasy. Even then it's pretty hard to tell the race of a character because, duh, it's anime. It only gets obvious when they start throwing around stupid German-sounding names and talk about how the isekai'd Japanese protag looks different and/or ugly to them.
On contrary, if we talk about slice of life, romcom, sci-fi or thriller etc that takes place in Japan, seeing a "white" character is extremely rare (and even those rarities more often than not are born and/or raised in Japan, like Olivia from Asobi Asobase). And, importantly, it's almost unheard for them to be voiced by non-Japanese.
My wife is a big Midsomer Murder fan. When I recently watched one with her and asked why almost half of the small English village was black or brown she just shook her head and said “don’t ask”

@@Tallorian Not sure why are you mentioning communism. In USSR there were over 100 distinct nationalities. Japan is much better example with 98,5 percent of japanese people and racial discrimination against immigrants.
@@Aloyiz I am mentioning communism because in the (late) USSR people used to have critical discussions about the government, policies or events with their family and sometimes close friends (so called "kitchen talks") even though they couldn't publicly voice their opinions.
So if people in Britain don't feel comfortable to openly criticize and condemn DEI and woke within their families, it means that things there are worse than in the (late) communism.
Still, it was mostly a joke on my part. In terms of speech and thought police they're not there, _yet_ .

Don’t forget the gingers that get race swapped like April O’ Neil and Ariel
Quite literally "orange is the new black"
There's a severe case of dyslexia among casting directors. Gingers just don't get the roles they should.

The director fails to self reflect on his own bubble. Whilst saying that living in a bubble is damaging, he seems to be so laser focused within his own, that he is destroying Dr Who.
At this point, I don't expect much from Davies. Sounds right up his alley with how terrible he seems.
is he though?
RTD is a white boomer who is pretty well off, born and based in wales. most of his peers are the kind of mouth breathers that scream about how everything is 'woke'. knuckledraggers on this thread are saying he is seeing everything from a london perspective - he's not even from london.
RTD's "Queer as Folk" 20 years ago was pretty good - it was effectively a view into a "gay bubble" that was entertaining to straight people.
Now, he's in a Londonista bubble that regards itself as righteous and brilliant, and the rest of the country as problematic and something to be assimilated by the Londonista bubble.
Detesting Londonista progressives should be a kind of default setting for the rest of the country, reciprocating the contempt they have for us.

Unurprisingly it turns out when you declare open borders and allow for an influx of hundreds of thousands of people into a closed area they bring their problems with them, and start to displace anyone who was already there.
In old Who, this would have been a cool horror episode about the dangers of not looking where you are going and relinquishing your freedoms to machines.....

I can't imagine Capaldi throwing a temper tantrum about someone not liking him. This really is the new Doctor.
Oh yeah. I had problems with Peter Capaldi's performance and you'll find many a comment where I've bashed his portrayal of the Doctor. However, the man was a professional. When people criticized him, he simply took it in stride and tried to improve. Sometimes, he swung for the fences in ways that didn't really work - turning the Doctor into a sociopath was one of them and did you know he also suggested the guitar because he wanted to go back to his punk rock roots? - but he was always respectful towards the audience.
@@tomnorton4277The guitar stuff was cool, i mean, wouldnt a guy that lived over 500 years, at some point learn instruments? As for the sociopath thing, i think it definitely gets less evident as he approached his Regeneration, his final speech for the master sorta reflected his growth.
He punched a racist in the face for insulting Bill
Is that how you read it? I read it as he's reacting in bewilderment at people declining salvation at his hands even after he's gone through so much effort trying to save them and they too have come so far. The doctor wants to save other people and he cannot always save everyone which he struggles with. For once, he can save everyone in the room and they choose not to be saved. It messes with his worldview. That's what gets him to freak out not them 'not liking him' (which I would rephrase as them being racist. They don't dislike his character they dislike his skin colour).
@@jacobrickayzen2744 Problem is, it doesn't feel earned with this doctor. Tell me, what has the 15th doctor done so far?

RTD controls who does what, who gets cast, then tries to make this some scathing indictment of society that everyone else is supposed to answer for. Russell, it's you who have to justify what you put on screen, not us.
Well he has said he associates disability with being evil, so it's nice of him to be so blatant about his other beliefs.
This season alone a black person has been proud about not having a job and not paying taxes and a gay man has told a child incapable of growing up that they are perfect the way they are. This is show is just RTD airing out his personal beliefs at this point. (There are most likely other examples of his "morals" but I'm sure as shit not gonna watch the show to find out), even these reviews can have too much of the filth.

No sadly the college age kids seem to be watching. I work at a state university and it's on their radar if not terribly popular
In 2005 only the Buffy fans watch the RTD era.
He watches so you don’t have to!
Reddit keep saying these are the best episodes ever with the best writing, messaging, doctor, and companion. I’m sick of the community in there, nothing neutral or critical is allowed.
@@Ana-yc5ox Because they really watch the episodes, no watch review videos of annoying weirdos.
Five minutes ago she couldn't put one foot in front of the other to walk in a straight line, now she can master ladders!
They went to an ALIEN planet. It's totally normal in SciFi to have all aliens from a given planet to look similar so that the audience can tell that "These are the aliens. You can expect them to all act similarly."
Yeah, I 100% agree! I wish they’d done more to set these guys apart from regular old humans though, even something simple like pointed ears or something. I mean I know series 1 established that humans go out and mingle, but it was implied there was a decent deal of variation between all the human subspecies
They irony of the "I tried to warn people, but those videos kept getting deleted" to... other issues that the BBC love to censure.

'Queer Bible'. LOL so true for this show. Just waiting for the chameleon circuit to paint the TARDIS rainbow colours.

I'm scottish. I go WEEKS without seeing anyone thats not white. I didn't even get it at The end of the episode. I had to watch the Unleashed episode to understand what they were trying to say. I thought it was going to be a 'hate the rich' episode. I mean a weirdo tells you to climb into his wooden box, what are you going to do?
I'm just back from a cruise. A ship of about 3000 passengers. I think there were only 3 families that were non-white, and 1 of them had a white mother, and I didn't think it was particularly odd. Honestly most of the UK has that ratio. (Although almost all of the staff were POC, I'm sure RTD would have had a field day with that.) I only noticed because someone else pointed it out. That's just the UK population. We shouldn't be made to feel ashamed of our genes. That's not fair.
RTD is a fine one to criticise people living in echo chambers...
Is he trying to tell us that this is what his own social bubble looks like?

They're all absolutely insane
@@somerandomyoutubeaccount5895 Anti-Racism is built on the concept of fighting fire with fire. So yes, anti-racism is racist in and of itself because it is the weaponization of racism to push other groups away.
Like using a controlled burn to eat up all the fuel in the path of a much more dangerous fire so it cannot spread.
The downside of course is that if done improperly and not in a controlled manner anti-racism is just going to lead to a massive race war that will see minority groups eradicated. Much like what almost happened in World War 2.
They literally make a bubble around her head. So this is how stupid does ¨metaphor.'

AND a second bubble around the city!
@@cleverman383 How to make a story layered? "Do the same thing, twice."
Haha! 😂
If you want a story with depth, it needs to be layered like an onion. For instance, a well written prison escape episode would take place in a prison within a prison within a prison within a prison within a prison.
The Doctor would find himself in a high-security cell, deep within the bowels of a fortified prison complex.
Beyond his cell, he discovers that he's actually trapped within a secret, underground facility - a prison built specifically to hold the most dangerous and valuable prisoners.
This secret prison is additionally hidden beneath the main prison complex, unknown to the outside world.
But as he delves deeper, he shockingly discovers that even the underground prison, and the main prison complex above, are both contained within a remote, heavily guarded island - an inescapable super-prison from which no one has ever broken free!
Now, he must devise a plan to break out of not one, but four prisons - his cell, the underground facility, the prison above, and the island fortress itself.
Only to then realize, and here's the real twist, the island is on an entire prison planet!
Truly layered storytelling!
Remember when the Doctor encountered those racist underground Lizard people, and it didn't bother him because he's a Time Lord? Yeah I 'member.
i remember those days of better writing
i laughed so hard at that ending cause they basically made fun of their so called audience all those people in that community are full gen Z and LGBTQ types and Russel T Davies called them all racist idiots lol
They know what they are.
RTD: Even if you're queer, you're still racist!
That's what they are mostly lol
The episode is criticizing rich people. Not young people alone.
@somerandomyoutubeaccount5895 yes but my point is they made fun of the new audience that they are aiming for which is like super stupid just pick a lane
1. Depicting a high trust society where everyone is happy and crime free without diversity.
2. Women will throw men under the bus, even if they claim to love them and men do everything for them.
3. Don't trust authority or AI.
4. Live in the woods and live off of the land, rather than being "saved" by a diverse individual.
This might be the most accidentally based episode of Doctor Who ever.
LMAOOO that's perfect
Lol
Great points!
You sure it was accidental?
@@cdevil9488 Of course. The people that write this crap think that normal/wholesome etc is bad/wrong, so everything they try to portray as broken is actually perfectly fine. Similarly, their lack of awareness leads them to include situations they think are awesome but which actually speak to just how morally bankrupt they are. /shrug
Once DrWho eventually dies, RTD(if he needs some money or a job) will eventually release an interview explaining why none of this was his fault and that he and the other writers and producers was forced into making this drivel...because sucess has many parents and failure is an orphan.
That is a beautiful turn of phrase you have there!😊
RTD: OHHHH! You'll never see the twist! it'll take you forever to figure it out! We SO SUBTLY hid clever hints that even Sherlock would have a time catching them!!!
Me five seconds in: Wow. Everyone but the Doctor is white... I wonder if they're gonna be evil, inept, and racist?
A shout out to That Mitchell and Webb Look, this is why I'm subscribed to Disparu. Between Disparu and the BBC, Disparu is still the only person who's actually put actual british culture on screen and praised it. 😂
How they let that lady walk away after killing the person who saved her is truly horrific, way to go Doctor great job addressing that one
3:37 - But there's a black character on screen???? Russel, even your own message doesn't work
Exactly what I said I didn't realise there was a lack of diversity because one of the main characters was black!

@@tears_of_the_kingdomexactly! I find it so strange that they think there’s some kind of fundamental difference between people, based purely on skin colour, it’s like we’re regressing.
I didn't really pick up on anything because I assumed it was a space society where everyone was a robot or a clone. The ending was super stupid with how the Doctor just shrugged and left them to die. Remember when the Doctor tried to save Davros? Literal Space Hitler?
The Doctor said, “I swear to the sky” What? Is he Pagan, now? Lol

I only hated one aspect of this episode... everything about it.
8:07 this reminds me so much of a CNN reporter, standing in front of a burning building during the George Floyd riots, and trying to claim it was a mostly peaceful protest.
I believe the phrase coined by them was 'fiery but mostly peaceful protest' indeed.
Don't believe your lying eyes and ears. The truth is what we tell you it is.
This is hilarious. Russel T Davies needs psychiatric assistance...as does everybody involved in this trash TV show.
And his hard drive checked.
Definitely.
This show is no longer Doctor who
Nah what tf are you guys smoking this shit is really good
You either die a hero, or live long enough to become the villain.
I'm honestly baffled on RTD's comment, regarding what yopur response should be if you see a place with majority or all white people in. I live in Hungary and majority of the people are Hungarians, which naturally means we are mostly white which also means most of our media also represents that. Does this mean we are racists and hate non-white people? Course not, it's just that our country happens to be in the middle of Europe.
I also don't get why it's a problem if something isn't fully diverse. When I watch anime I fully expect the characters to be Japanese. Likewise I don't bet an eye when I watch a European show and majority of the cast of it is *gasp* white people. This notion of if something has many white people in but not other ethnicity is bad, is just so tiring...
Newsflash to the BBC: many countries are not like the UK where 50% of the population are not even British anymore. To those living in such countries, it's not weird seeing a British show with majority white people in as historically Brirtain was like that.
I'm just so tired of this narrative that anything where the majority are white people is wrong and should be ashamed.
RTD has to push this despicable narrative because the majority population in the UK are starting to realize their government lied to them when they said 'diversity is our strength.'
Now that UK citizens are noticing the horrible truth of illegal immigrants destroying their country and eroding their culture they have to pretend that anyone pointing it out is a racist.
Davies is just engaging in the trendy form of racism. I'm mixed race myself and think it's ridiculous. And by the way the UK is only around 20% non-native British. The native peoples of the UK are often underrepresented in film/TV/ads, though, so your mistake is understandable.
It's simple, actually. RTD is a white man who hates white men.
@JRRLewis they over represent just like here in the USA. It's meant to confuse.
Ah, the 50% bit is London being more than 50% not English; still majority British. Also London is not the UK and sadly too many people don't understand that.
The Orville did the “social media taking over the real world would make our brains rot” so much better.
This episode would have been so much better if Cute Guy had survived the annoying lady’s attempt to get him killed, is horrified at watching his own people turn down help over something so silly, And is the only one to accept The Doctor’s help. Then they watch as the population ticker for the colony hits zero as well, and he’s the only one of his species left alive. Have some sort of deep philosophical conversation before finding him a welcoming planet to go take refuge on.
Oh wait, RTD already f-king did that story ending. It was Voyage of the Damned, from nearly 20 years ago. Where the Doctor desperately tries to save the survivors as the AI are trying to kill them, but he loses them one at a time until the only one of the group left was the selfish narcissist. Then the old guy tour guide has said deep philosophical conversation with the Doctor, before the Doctor takes him down to the planet Earth that he’s loved reading about (incorrectly) and basically does his “lottery ticket” thing for him. And that old guy even gets a name drop in the next season so you know things ended up alright for him.
RTD can’t even match _his own writing_ from 20 years ago. How. How is that possible.
That is amazing, you’re right. Maybe this is Russell’s maladjusted clone? He used to write rad stories but I assume smart people kept his madness in check. Now though he’s fully in charge, most even more of his mind and creates this garbage. Or, maybe this Russel guy actually has all the good original new Who episodes ghost written and he just always sucked terribly?
@@VoidPocket I really don’t know. It baffles me. I was trying to put my finger on what felt “off” about the ending, and in writing out what would have worked better I realized it seemed way too familiar, and eventually remembered VotD. Are there more episodes that are this way, just new skin on the scaffolding of his old stories? So now I wonder if all RTD can do is write “new” stories on the bone structure of old stories, but now “put a woman in it and make it gay”.
That would have been great!
@@ChaniElkin Glad you liked the outline I sketched out in like, 10 minutes, proving layman are actually better writers than these “”professionals””.
The crying at the drop of a hat is in fact a problem, I agree. The 9th, 10th, and 11th Doctors showed their emotions all the time, up to and including crying in cases of severe emotion (I assume 12 as well, but I hated the writing in series 8 and 9 and slowly stopped watching). It was much more effective to see David Tennent devastated than it ever was to see Gatwa squeeze out yet another set of crocodile tears. I feel the exact same about Loki. In 2015 I would have been beyond stoked to hear he got his own TV show. By 2017/18 I would just be cringing, which is in fact what I did the whole time watching the reviews.
RTD is too much of a hack writer to be able to figure out a way for the green-blood people to accidentally cause their own downfall with their racism. No, it has to be blatant, direct and to Gatwa’s face in a way that no real racist ever really acts, because we have to pound the 🔴 *message* 🔴 into your eyeballs, and then Gatwa just kinda can’t do anything because he’s a giant failure as the Doctor.

That too would have an easy fix, the floating chairs from Wall-E and the people literally don't need to walk and therefore never need to learn it. The chair is on autopilot and you could still have your dumb "into a pole" -moment after the doctor hacks the chair to be drivable or some shit.

Does the UK have their own version of a California Valley Girl/Surfer Dude stereotype? It feels like this episode was targeted more at Americans, which is odd because Doctor Who is usually very British in its culture and cultural references.

“I swear to the sky?”
Surprised no comment on that
Very strange dialog
Yes, they just can't mention "God" in any way any more.
I mentioned that as well because it sounded so bizarre. And like the first comment here I also thought it was a way for them to not say “I swear to God.” Man people today are lunatics. So far we have “Go touch grass” and “I swear to the sky.” I can’t wait to see what other insane drivel they have this whack doctor say. Maybe something like “Go get a job selling flamingos!?” “I could just scratch my pinky toe twelve times!?”
Wondered if all these ‘kids’ were AI versions of themselves at first. Also wondered why The Doctor was bent on reaching out to help this particular girl. I kept asking my husband ‘but why her?!’ I found it to be a very sad commentary on a potential future where absentee parents send off their kiddos who are so superficial, vapid and self-centric… that was SO hard to watch! When the half brained girl finally turns on her savior (after seemingly falling for him even stating this may be the best day of her life… in spite of thousands being eaten alive) while he’s been so protective of her, I was gobsmacked. Surely they cannot try to save her?!?! She has zero value… she gives nothing of substance to anyone and throws people under the bus to save herself… I didn’t get the race card at all. By the comment we can’t go with you, you’re different not one of us, I took it that the Doctor isn’t human, neither of them from ‘the bubble’ and because of that brainwashing, they couldn’t logic step beyond that indoctrination. You can’t fix stupid. Goth guy and September were the only real people who cared to have a thought truly beyond themselves. The apartments/homes looked beautiful and I kept thinking how sad it was they couldn’t care to notice. They couldn’t care to explore their park like setting, possibly take in nature, nobody had pets ( what they meant by sterile?) And half wit girls smug expression and assumptions regarding the Doctors duty to save her were too much. Watching this was like pulling together all the negative, cruel and thoughtless trolling on socials and labeling humanity like this. That being the case, it’s completely understandable that the AI dots would see no use for us.
It's not a bad message not to fall into echo chambers but honestly seeing this it was more of "Why are they trying to save this idiot?" and "Why are they all weird-looking?" all those pastel colours and almost glowing eyes rather than "Oh racism" Russell hasn't really come back with awesome scripts for this "New, new Who"
Neapolitan Who
"How long till they notice?" RTD has totally lost his sh**.
For me, immediately. Oh look, a screaming metaphore/screed incoming!
I noticed most of them aren't naturally blonde and look ridiculous.
In the beginning when the bubble pops up I did notice a gay man, a possible trans man, a blue haired lesbian, and the darker skinned doctor. At least the LGHDTV crowd was represented. OK RTD, in the next few episodes I expect you to include Pacific Islanders, Inuits, African Pygmies, Sherpas, etc.
@@SRMoore1178 LGHDTV 🤣
Sheesh! If I saw a monster eating a person, I'm calling the cops (well, dailing 911, since I'm in the US), and if someone stated that this place had been disinfected, I would have assumed that it was those monsters. I'm starting to think that RTD stands for someone with difficulties learning.
People in a very clean looking city enclosed inside a physical bubble for reasons not explained, undergoing an attack by giant slugs, refer to disinfectant? You're r cist if you don't see that that is clearly a r ce based microaggression!
Absolutely RTDed.
The twist was racism? I thought it was about selfishness and self-absorption. So that guy dying was just a "Whelp, it happens."
Damn.
Per a theme of "racism," can we finally admit that this current incarnation should be called "Doctor Blackface?" Think about it... RTD, a white producer, put a black face on an historically white, BRITISH character.
So if a black producer had made the doctor black would that have been better?
Doctor is not used to being treated like an outcast? Huh?
I am actually impressed. It must take considerable effort for a series to get notably worse with such consistency.
Interestingly, it maintains its audience after the initial drop. Even jumped up a bit in the last episode.
I wonder if those are mostly genuine fans of this kind of writing or just numerous hatewatchers?
@@Tallorian We'll have to see if this is the base line for fan numbers. I doubt hate watchers make up a significant portion of the numbers although I expect there are some. I think it likely that most people who watch simply view it for whatever entertainment value it might possess and spend little to no time thinking about any messaging.
This episode lacks a critical amount of self-awareness since the only people addicted to social media and blindly following the destructive messages of it, are people like rtd who think "the modern audience" exists
It ironically tells us a lot about RTD's bubble
I grew up enjoying all-black movies and sitcoms, i wouldnt watch them thinking "hey, where are the white people?" Why would i do that with an all white British show...? isnt there a word for people that sees things through the lens of race?
