the episode isn’t completely fresh in my mind, but I got the sense the Doctor was just taking the “this moment is important to the web of time” view (which admittedly is an inconsistent story cheat but it’s happened often enough I can’t knock them for using it here) and only the villain was really thinking that changing the moment would undo civil rights (and the Doctor demonstrated repeatedly he was pretty dumb). I think it’d be funny if he got blasted to the dawn of time and we never hear from him again except maybe in Big Finish or something.

Also it was mentioned previously in this thread but appreciate there was much more palpable menace to the TARDIS team from ordinary white Americans, including a police officer, than there ever was from Krasko. Doctor Who is usually such an optimistic show about human nature, I feel like part of the positive reaction this episode is already getting is from showing people being viciously nasty without the individuals learning inside the episode how terrible they are (or getting killed in a scheme or by the episode monster) - e.g. society was fundamentally broken and no speech by the Doctor could topple racism in time for the credits, it can only be accomplished by determined risky actions over several lifetimes.

it does feel like classic who like no other revival season has so far, at least for me and with the single episode story constraint; obviously lots of factors in that though

what was the last pure historical btw? does the crimson horror count since the monster was technically not an alien?
