I can't agree with this article's positive spin on the Rosa Parks episode
of Dr Who. It's the only episode I've seen in years and I stumbled upon it
by accident and thought it was awful. Rosa Parks' action, a well planned
act which she had prepared herself for as part of a civil rights campaign,
was reduced, in this Dr Who episode, to an accidental act of defiance by a
tired woman on her way home from work. The Doctor and co have to ensure
that she gets on the right bus and when she wants to stay on to get some
work finished, they have to orchestrate a means to ensure that she gets on
the right bus. She has no idea that she is part of any movement. It's
actually the "white" Doctor who knows all, and ensures that the Black Civil
Rights Movement gets underway. Rosa is an unwitting pawn in the whole
"white run" event. I think the entire episode was embarrassing and a huge
missed opportunity to actually tell the story of Rosa Parks. The fact that
Dr Who has had a tradition of anti-racism doesn't mean every writer for the
show has a good perspective.
