incredibly disrespectful and horrible episode where a space criminal man goes back in time to kill Rosa Parks because he’s a racist. The Doctor and her crew do time magic stuff and send him back further in time instead of just killing him. Then the crew accidentally gets on the same bus and watches Rosa Parks get arrested, so actually they saved history or something. It’s incredibly gross and weird.

You thought Rosa Parks was a fearless activist? Well actually she had a bunch of weird British space wizards who helped her. The episode ends with how Parks has an asteroid named after her. There are a million ways Doctor Who has had positive messages dealing with race, class, gender, etc, but it’s usually done through fictional scenarios or showing how the Daleks are fascists, which can be done in tactful ways. In this case they shoved British space goofballs into real world events and take the credit for saving the day. I hate it. I somehow hate that episode more than the times the show worships Winston Churchill.
