The TARDIS' new look is pretty epic.
Buffy. When I saw you stop the world from, you know, ending, I just assumed that was a big week for you. Turns out I suddenly find myself needing to know the plural of 'apocalypse.'

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
Some other thoughts about Doctor Who this week. These are not complaints so much as maybe lost opportunities:
- It didn't really feel that much like a race, as everyone was travelling together. They could've kept the cast split into two groups for longer and have them actually compete. (Plus, more opportunity for Yaz to get some lines.)
- Some ideas in there that could have been developed further. (e.g. the TARDIS as a monument; the microbes in the water, especially on a desert planet; if this is a regular race, is there an audience?)
- And of course the big one: they really should have titled this ep "Doctor Who and the Bedsheets of Death".

Ooh, I like that one. Maybe for the season finale we'll get "Doctor Who and the Stroppy Baggage".

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Well that was some white savior bullshit.
Not cool, Chibnall.

Ugh, people on Twitter are falling over themselves with love for this ep and I think maybe they just found out about racism?

Jessica, I have not watched this ep for that very reason. I suspected that it would be offensive to Americans generally, and POC specifically. When it started out with the bus driver carrying a gun I knew that they did not understand and it would be completely over the top.
Any general plot points I should know about?
