Mal: Yeah, well, just be careful. We cheated Badger out of good money to buy that frippery, and you're supposed to make me look respectable. Kaylee: Yes, sir, Captain Tightpants.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
"Doctor Who and the Angry Rags"
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?

"Cry havoc and let slip the boobs of war!" -- Miracleman
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?

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
The episode made me deeply uncomfortable.

Thrive to spite them
I forgot Legends of Tomorrow started today I'll have to watch it tomorrow if it's on CW app tomorrow. Tonight is The Voice and I don't want to flip between them and I don't think I can get Mom even partly caught up on Legends.

Not anything that will be relevant later in the season, I don't think.
On top of the iffy race/American history stuff, this just wasn't a very good episode, period. Chibnall's crime drama roots are showing, and it's a bad fit for The Doctor. The focus on researching minute factual details was very CSI-esque.
