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...

I definitely wasn't expecting this one to be an intense episode about racism from the trailers, and I really didn't think they'd tackle it in such a head-on way in general.

Also I liked that they used a futuristic society for it and suggested that these problems persist is the future instead of just doing it in a historical episode which would have been the obvious choice IMO.
