Ricky absolutely ADORED it! He’s been silly all morning saying that he’s forgotten to walk and stumbling all over crashing into things.
I thought the girl that played Lindsey did a good job of acting spoilt, particularly with the camera up in her face so much. Like if Tony Stark was a girl and not a hero
Make sure Ricky doesn't find himself visiting woodlice, they're everywhere and probably the inspiration for the notion of the bad guys that the A.I. created instead of just bulleting everyone in the head with the dots.

Speaking of Ricky, he’s just put up his review of the story just now. I’m not quite sure what he’s on about but (as always with Ricky) it makes a fun read all the same.

I'm on it like a particularly spicy piece of fruit with a name giving a passing interest to my place birth and hats from there!

Tharries kind of felt that the metabubble thing was the main thing about Lindsey being cut-off from the rest of the audience.
He liked that the actor who played Ricky September being an anagram of his name
6/10 from him

I’m happy that Tharries likes it…,even though a 6 is only a little above average,
Now………Russell wanted to do a Black Mirror episode but decided to incorporate Doctor Who into it. Black Mirror even Down to the twist…….there’s always a twist at the eeeeeeeeend….

It must have gone over Tharries’s head too. It reminded me of a Black Mirror episode only not done as well.
Never mind, next week it’s the ‘This is so Bridgerton/What the Bridgerton!’ episode where Shooty kisses a man! That will anger a lot of a certain type of audience.

An alien menagerie in a period drama, bet you there's an auction and The Doctor is up for sale. Cause see, he's black and that would be like slavery, innit?!
Turns out, from looking at everyone who watches stuff and then sends it to their bubbles, a lot of people feel very smart with themselves seeing the racism in the show because it was implied the whole show.
I've either lost my mojo or haven't been plugged into how to pick up these things Bobby.
Am I a retard?

Well if you are, Siggy then I am too and so is Tharries because he didn’t see it either.
You don’t need to worry, you or Ricky. You are both new borns. Tharries has been around a lot longer and I longer still. We have no excuse, us two!
Ricky has been making me feel terrible all morning and hasn’t made me my boiled egg and soldiers. He says that it is ‘good’ punishment though and we will both learn from it. He’s punishing himself too, he’s also not having any egg and soldiers.

Being denied egg and soldiers for a crime that you weren't away that you were committing is awful Bobby
I wonder what other crimes we commit all the time but have no idea about?
Maybe we are all genocidal maniacs intent on bringing hell to Earth because we stopped buying Curly Wurlys when they got above 10 pence!
AND Curly Wurleys are brown, which is probably what we should call people with very dark skin instead of black. So that just proves it. Not buying Curly Wurleys just means that you hate everyone who has more melatonin in their skin than you.
So next up is what about those with lots of melatonin, have they got their own hierarchy of superiority?

Well people are saying that the clues were all there and that it was ‘obvious’…was it?! They say an all white cast but I was focusing more on the personality types being vapid social media types…also maybe I just don’t see colour.
They mention how horrible Linda was to Shooty, but she seemed to be behaving more rudely towards Ruby Road to me, forever calling her thick etc.
They talk about how Linny was surprised that the Doctor and Ruby Road were in the same room…well I simply took that to mean that they’re all online in the dot and bubble and no one actually spends time ‘with’ each other.
They say she blocked the Doctor and not Ruby, but the Doctor introduced himself differently as though he was trying to sell her something didn’t he?
I think that this is an episode I might need to watch again.
Ricky has just been feeling really guilty all morning. He even thinks that the Ricky September character was written with him in mind and that is why he was killed off so unceremoniously. I told him that it’s a coincidence! I don’t think that Russell even knows that our Ricky exists and even if he did, how would he have been able to not only predict how he would respond to the episode but also his birth so far ahead of time! What he’s saying isn’t even making sense!
I imagine that there are a lot of easily influenced children out there like Ricky, saying ‘no thank you mother’ to egg and soldiers. RTD what have you wrought?!

Well the guy that played Ricky is called Tom Rhys Harries in real life, which Tharries took as being T. Harries and so was put in there as a nod to him. I thought that was cute
Yes, The Doctor did show up like spam and had he said he was a Nigerian prince and wanted to gift a couple of million pounds to Lindsey it wouldn't have been out of place. Ignoring him was fine for anyone to do, let alone someone so purposefully unlikeable as Lindsey.
I think these clues that people see are the very dog whistles that people say are out there for genuine racists and other bad types to hear Bobby. I'd say that anyone who saw this and thought it was a story about racism is probably a racist themselves. And I think that it was written for them when you read about all these hints and cues that they say is there to support their claims.
Long gone are the days when Darmok and Jalad were at Tanagra together when the walls fell (His eyes uncovered!). Now we get a story which was pretty good and then before you get a chance to muse on it the BBC is all "Did you know that The Doctor is gay and black?!?" and everyone is liking and retweeting and going "Oh, I saw that too!" about a story which is pretty much saying how it hates them for being mindless spoiled drones.
I think we'll need to wait for the next Garak tailoring video to drop before we can get any proper eyes on this particular story and see what could have been the message underneath it all (Unless it really was this vapid!).
Anyways, don't you have a shift starting in 15 minutes?

My shift starts in half an hour, I set off in ten.
I do however need to get myself sorted now so I shall reply properly later.
Ricky shall reply to your other post too, he just needs me to explain it to him piece by piece first.
