Peoples of the universe, please attend carefully.

also, for the unaware: mclaughlin v. florida was a 1964 supreme court case that struck down a florida anti-miscegenation law that criminalized cohabitation (and thus, as implied, sex) between white people and people of color of opposite genders. anti-miscegenation laws made marriage and sexual relationships between white people and people of color, most often specifically black people, a FELONY in several states in the united states up until the 1950s and 1960s. though it was already struck down by the supreme court, the state of alabama didn't repeal their law until 2000! there were THREE ATTEMPTS at codifying anti-miscegenation into the us constitution!

like yes, the issue here is partially straight white people's ignorance on the united states's history of homophobic policy, but it's also really important to recognize that arguably the majority of the issue here is straight white people's ignorance of the united states's history of codifying eugenics and antiblack racism.

For instance some of my personal favourites:

An exploration of science and religion. Evil in many religions often involves horned creatures because of alien creatures called the Daemons who arrived on Earth 10,000 years ago and have intervened and altered the course of human history at various points throughout time. They are not evil but amoral, and view the earth as a science experiment (and in this case have been sumoned by the master) which makes them dangerous.

An epic race on interstellar sailing ships crewed by immortal eternals, where the winner revieves enlightenment- to know everything there is to know. Enlightenment turns out to not be a piece of information, but rather a choice to be made about whether you'd want to know or not.

The supply of a medicine that is relied upon by many is controlled by a corrupt corporation attempting to profit from war. In the middle of the conflict the Doctor and companion become infected with a serious disease that will kill them both if they're unable to reach the antidote in time. In the end they do find the antidote but only enough for one, and the Doctor sacrifices himself to save his companion.

Honestly shout out to:

The Doctor claims the Presidency of Gallifrey while appearing to be working with an alien force behind everyone's back to invade the planet, meanwhile working as a double agent against them and setting up Leela to overthrow the plot. Even the audience is kept in the dark about what he's planning

A thousand year war in which both sides have been fighting for so long they've somehow managed to progress backwards in technology, going from laser guns to bullets as energy ran out and reverting from execution by firing squad to hanging to save ammunition.

An ancient alien obsessed with cataloging things begins a catalogue of everything on Earth, accompanied by a survey servant who grows and changes and a control agent who stays the same. He goes to sleep for thousands of years only to wake up and find that everything had changed: he declares war on evolution itself.
