also it strikes me that the bubble said the doctor was unauthorized but was okay with ruby. what with how AI is biased towards white people, less likely to recognize darker skinned faces etc. the systems upholding of the white supremacy of the people in finetime, they don't have to think they just see that the black person is marked as unauthorized and block

WAIT and we have a date for that episode too. because that ambulance thing said ruby was 3082 years, and since it knew who she was we can assume it has her info in their system (which. we dont have time to unpack ALL of that) which presumably includes birthday, so they must have made that calculation based on her birth year. so if she was born in 2004 then the year she would turn 3082 would be 5086. BUT the doctor said the date was october 5, so it would have to be the october AFTER ruby turned 3082, which means the date in this episode is october 5, 5087 — which means its also set in the 51st century!!!!

literally its fucking crazy that they introduced jack and were like "yeah so his former employer stole two years of his memories. also thats not his real name" and not ONCE in the entire time he was on tv over the course of 54 episodes did they ever think of explaining literally a single nother detail about any of that

jack harkness is the best character ever invented. he shows up, immediately bisexual as all hell, to be the second of roses boytoys recruited to team tardis, instantly turns it into a throuple, kisses both rose and the doctor on the lips, dies, gets brought back to life, and immediately gets forgotten by the doctor. and they were like Yup give that guy a spinoff (which the premise of by the way was literally "5 bisexuals do detective shit on aliens and get covered in blood a lot". IN 2006). and then he comes back to dr who 4 more times and its like 1) spawns back into the show in the middle of a divorce and implies he will eventually become a giant head in a jar directly before fucking back off to his polycule 2) he shows up for about 5 seconds in some space bar during the doctors pre-death farewell tour bc the doctors like alright jack we're getting you some dick tonight 3) shows up for ANOTHER 5 seconds to kiss a companion on the lips and create 1 million questions aaaand 4) breaks the doctor out of space jail, gives a pep talk to the lesbian in the team tardis who has been pining for the doctor for 8 millions years, and blows up a bunch of daleks. And then fucks off again. like truly how do you beat this

i do wonder like. had a black writer written it how would it go. what would be different etc. we are still lacking that perspective. cause we have still not had a dw episode written by a black writer who did not have a white cowriter.

one thing about dot and bubble is im very relieved they included side characters who read as very queer. you are not immune to racism and white supremacy because youre gay

NEED jack and 15 to meet and fuck nasty.
