Way to take an important moment in history and taint it with a load of crap. I literally felt sick when Ryan said the line about getting pulled over more than his white friends. That was stupid and unnecessary unless the goal was to make people think England is like America. That is complete BS, neither one of them has had to deal with the kind of issues they claimed. Britain was never segregated and even when racism was at its highest there, being black was still better then being Irish. And even though Alabama back then was easily the most racist place in America, not everyone felt that way. Of course they made sure to never show a single person who wasn’t a backwoods racist bigot.
And why the over the top reaction to being present in that moment in history, it would have been awesome to be there. Instead of sitting around looking horrified they could have taken an approach of support and sympathy for Rosa. Telling her “good job” would not have altered history. This could have been a great episode but they had to flat out lie to get the characters to be involved. And what the heck is up with a super racist from the future? Seriously, all that trouble to stop one race on one little planet? It wasn’t the least bit believable.
I really hope the rest of the season isn’t full of junk like this. The companions are from Sheffield, so why don’t they act like it.
