Love (most) Dr Who. Spoilers for Oxygen
for Oxygen
DOCTOR: They’re not your rescuers. They’re your replacements. The end point of capitalism. A bottom line where human life has no value at all. We’re fighting an algorithm, a spreadsheet. Like every worker, everywhere, we’re fighting the suits. (Klaxon sounds.) IVAN: They’re nearly through! DOCTOR: Open up. Let’s send them a message. Let’s teach them a lesson they will never forget. If they take our lives, we take their station and every penny they will ever make from it. Die well! It’s the finish line! It’s winning!
The Dr. Who episode where the 10th Doctor helps a slave rebellion
Whitaker doing Harry Potter product placement at the very beginning of an episode right after BBC gave Rowling an award for her TERF essay was when I turned it off and never watched another episode
It’s worth emphasizing- she fucking fangirls over space-Amazon. And delivers a speech to the worker who’s rebelling about how trying to change the status quo is evil.
Part of the setup is that space-Amazon is required by law to have 10% of its workforce be human, all of its workers are miserable, and all the people who don’t work there are in an even worse state. The resolution has the worker who was rebelling get killed, and then the execs are like “well, maybe we should hire a few more people”. And that’s framed as heartwarming.
