Doctor who 12th doctor, 3rd season episode 2
Show Content
Spoiler:3
i watched the 2nd doctor who episode
it's called smile
a sequel to 'blink' the infamous weeping angels introduction episode,
smile features a new kind of monster
the weeping angels can't move if they are being looked at
the new monster can't be seen unless it's moving
cause it's a swarm of nanobot bees that attack anyone who is not smiling
(it actually has nothing to do with blink and weeping angels, i just made all that up)

I hear it's actually not bad message-wise for once
Timu04/24/2017
yeah morals stuff go right over my head so idk what you're talking about
Mirdini04/24/2017
fair 'nuff
was it fun to watch
Timu04/24/2017
the nanobots follow an advanced learning algorithm, they are told to help make people happy so they make food and nice houses and stuff
but then a human gets sad because of grief and these robots are new so they're like ? person is sad, sad is bad, remove sad
all the humans die, except the ones sleeping in cryopods, but some of those guys wake up and hear about the dead people and want revenge with laser guns
despite the doctor saying pretty much, laser guns aren't going to work on account of the enemy being a swarm of nanobot bees
who attack anyone who is not smiling
humans: sounds like we should get angry and use laser guns
then the doctor hacks the robots and turns them into robot nanobee landlords
who live in a peaceful synergetic union with the humans
mirdini what was the moral stuff

(the tweet says: "Tonight's Doctor Who was about destroying an exploitative structure, liberating an enslaved people, and protecting indigenous rights. :thumbsup:")

(this tweet says: "In Planet of the Ood the Doctor apologizes for mentioning capitalist wage slavery. In Smile he claims a moral imperative to blow unjust thigns up regardless of the law"
Timu04/24/2017
the first two are maybe a stretch but the protecting indigenous rights i can see

I think we should just shoot the bees with laser guns tbh
Timu04/24/2017
also did the doctor really claim a moral imperative to blow unjust stuff up regardless of the law?
i got the impression more like "this place is very dangerous and some unsuspecting people will die in there if i don't blow it up, so i will blow it up"
