The Long Game
My 14 year old wanted to do a Doctor Who re-watch, so we started with [New Who] S1. It's all rather lovely and my hat off to RTD. He did an amazing job. And then last night we watched The Long Game, which I mostly remembered for 'Adam, the bad companion'. Except that's not what it's about... (the clue is rather in the title)
And this line really made me sit up:
EDITOR: Create a climate of fear and it's easy to keep the borders closed. It's just a matter of emphasis. The right word in the right broadcast repeated often enough can destabilise an economy, invent an enemy, change a vote.
HI THERE WARNING FROM THE PAST! Isn't it fun to have seen this play out in real time and living in the midst of it?

... That is far too on the nose. S2 was never my favourite (not a case of disliking it, just liking all the others more), but I am now curious to watch it through the lens of history.
Well spotted RTD! More people should have paid attention!

I have similar feelings about the politics of the Star Wars prequels, and you're so right.
