    Some excellent observations here thank you. Viewing the bubbles as symptoms rather than the disease, really makes the "twist" as the end into more of a "reveal". I tend not to prefer Russel T Davies brand of storytelling but even in my confusion I thought this was a stand-out episode.

    Also always worth noting that Gatwa’s final scene here was the first scene he shot as the Doctor

    Wow! What a scene to drop an actor into.

    Can anyone help explain "Dot and Bubble" to me? (spoilers obv)

    For most of this episode I thought it was a good (if a bit on-the-nose) commentary about our societal distraction sickness and everyone living *literally* in a bubble. The hero was someone who literally able to walk on his own two legs, etc. But once they went underground everything kind of went loopy? Where did the slug monsters come from? The idea that they came from "outside the (city's) bubble" kind of reinforced the idea that it's dangerous to hide from what's scary. But then we see the homeworld was also eaten destroyed by the same slug-monsters? If the slugs are controlled or created by the dots, are we meant to understand that the people of the home world are similarly walking around in bubbles? If so, then why does Finetime exist? The whole premise of an off-world "perfect" colony seemed to imply they were providing some service to the home-worlders beyond their 2 hours of "work". Why would a society of people living in bubbles send their youth to a faraway planet? Then we see that the dots are capable of quickly killing the inhabitants. So where did the slug monsters come from? Why did the dots not just kill zippoty zop? Were the slugs *obeying* the dots alphabetical order parameters? Were they created by the dots? At this point I was like "whatever it's Doctor Who, the plots are never as consistent as the vibes!" But then the vibes changed completely when it's revealed everyone is racist?! My best guess is that this is some bungled way of comparing the people of Finetime to our modern social problem with radicalization on social media, like "look beyond yourself man" but that feels a bit of a stretch. I feel like I'm missing something big here!

    My sad take is that I felt like I noticed a shift in the opinions of fandom after that infamous Red Letter Media review in 2012. Don't get me wrong I absolutely love those reviews and think they're hilarious, but a lot of Redditors (and Lemmy-ers) seemed to look at the Plinkett character as someone worth emulating instead of despising.

    I didn't say extremist I said toxic but really anyone who's poorly socialized will go where they're allowed, which in Lemmy terms means general catch-all instances with loose moderation like .world and .ml.

    If they choose to migrate to another instance, it will likely be a more extremist instance with poor moderation that has been significantly defederated.

    In theory this is how it should work, but in practice the toxic people tend to move to general purpose more laissez-faire places like .world or .ml, which makes de-federating and cutting off 30% of all users a difficult decision for anyone trying to have a community.

    The answer is less centralization, but that can't be forced. beehaw.org (for example) made the decision to cut off .world and they are better for it. But they are a large-ish instance in their own right.

    Theory: The EMH in "Academy" is going to be the copy from "Living Witness"

    Until Disco S3, "Living witness" was the furthest future we had seen in Star Trek. But Academy takes place *after* Discovery. At the end of "Living Witness" the Doctor is described as heading towards Earth. Assuming the burn didn't get them, it's entirely possible two EMHs are surviving in Discovery's time. I think it would be a fun twist if it wasn't the EMH we expect!
