I mean, fair dos. And it seems to be a bit of a trend with this season of the Doctor . . . not particularly trying to fix things? So hopefully that's going somewhere, because if not it's just depressing.

I'm just kinda impressed because Doctor Who doing social issues hardly ever does a thing for me. At all. I'm not offended by it. Like, you need a plot, sure make it about the exploitation of workers is bad or whatever, that's a good message to have. But I almost always find the way Doctor Who handles these things really pat and it doesn't end up being either emotionally cathartic or thought-provoking. I prefer my social issues in messy, Battlestar Galactica shaped forms or similar. But this actually made me think. Now, the more I think about it the more I think they flubbed the landing in some critical way. But that's thinking about the issues nonetheless, and that's basically unprecedented for me in the world of Doctor Who.

Not that I'm gonna run out and rewatch it, mind. It wasn't that good.
