Thin Ice (DW S10.3) - Review Part 1 (the serious part)

[elisi]

Well, my immediate reaction was pure delight. But as I started writing down all my thoughts, I realised I would have to split them up, as they were veering in two very different directions. So, first up comes the serious post. Because the show did one of the things I was most hoping for: It got political. And how!

It's so important that Who states that it's on the side of the underdog, that racists are punched and that those who have privilege use it in service of the marginalised in society.

Yes, it's the constant, underlying message, and I love it.

Feeling very wary about moving to the UK now (even more than I already was…)

And it’s not freed because it’s somehow ‘worthy’ or ‘noble’ - as Bill points out, it might be dangerous. But they free it quite simply because slavery is wrong.

IN ONE!!!!

Slavery is still totally a thing.

Smh...

Thanks for that slap in the face, lmao. Stay woke, y’all!

PEOPLE ARE NICE! It's just the politics that are terrible. Although of course the latter impacts the lives of the former... How long are you coming for again? (You can send me a message if you don't want to state your plans publicly.) I for one would love to meet you.

Basically I'm angry because they are hurting the country I love.

IN ONE!!!!
It's SO IMPORTANT. And I'm so glad they made that point explicit.

I almost called this 'the woke post'. But then I remembered that I am forty years old and should probably not...
