New Who Review: Rosa

I am a week behind. I haven’t seen last night’s episode because I went to an amazing Halloween party thrown by some local friends. So I am going to ask that there be no spoilers for the next episode in the comments and I will get around to that episode later this week unless the world falls apart which it might.

Knowing that originally Doctor Who was supposed to be a kids’ show where they travel through time and show historical events, I think the creators would have been proud of the episode for the most part.

One thing I had to remind myself while I was watching it was this is the British point of view of the events of the American Civil Rights movement. More on that in the spoilers section.

Decent script and good acting. The American accents were again decent. Some of the southern accents were a little bit off but then I lived in the South for most of my formative years so those accents were something I heard a lot.

I like how the group is coming together. I feel like I have a better idea who each of these characters are and where they stand. Having two characters who were looked down upon and dealing with that within the episode was well done along with their frustration with the situation. And yes there were incidents as described in the deep south at that time.

Overall it was a serviceable episode of Doctor Who.
