Man, the tumblr was strong in this episode. Why is it that anti-racists and anti-sexists are the only ones I ever see who even care what race or sex a character is? I don't remember Martha Jones having an episode-by-episode checklist of historically-relevant discrimination, new dates to reaffirm her sexual preference, and her vagina being a plot-point.

I thought I would be used to this in the Moffat era. It just seems so unintentionally shallow.

Yeah, I get the feeling I'm the last person who should be complaining about internet echo chambers.

I still like Bill when she gets to be a character instead of a cluster of labels. She is the perfect culmination of Moffat's well-needed inclusiveness that sometimes comes off as corny propaganda.

At what point do you believe she has been "a cluster of labels?"

I know what I said.

So are they going to explain what seized control of the TARDIS and/or why it decided to kidnap Nardole for a while?

Ha ha looks like someone picked the worst possible opportunity to just leave the TARDIS at the business end of a black hole across a minutes-to-years time dilation. Hope he has the fanciest key fob in the universe.
