Very cool social commentary, I think better than the Orville episode with the Up and Downvote society.
Though, at the end, I did hate everybody and wanted them to be eaten.
I do question having two "doctor lite" episodes back to back.
Imteresting music choices too... Didn't we just have the Flying Purple People Eater? Now we have Teeny Weeny Yellow Polka Dot Bikini...
Edit My bad, Flying Purple People Eater was in X-Men '97, which I also just watched. Easy mistake to make!
If next episode is Everybody's Heard About the Bird...
No the episode is definitely a commentary on racism. The inhabitants of Finetime are not just gen z, they are explicitly upper class gen z. They have literally blue blood. They are very Tory-coded.
The whole episode is riddled with micro aggressions from Lindy towards the doctor. Here is a possibly incomplete list of them:
There is also the mention of a cleanse, which takes on a very different meaning after the twist especially since not just the majority of the Finetime characters but all of them are white.
The whole episode is designed to make you question your own perceptiveness of racism. After the twist you are supposed to go "how could I have been so blind?". I recommend a rewatch. And no, I didn't pick up on it at first. I did notice some of them as weird, but noticed what all of them have in common only at the end.
You are right. A lot of the micro aggressions I put down to the Finetimers just being naive, and wanting to live in their safety bubble, but all of your points made me feel uneasy at the time, and it makes sense that they were all related to racism.
