We all know and love zutara's Hades & Persephone parallels. Complimentary opposites constantly being misunderstood as a captor/victim- badboy/goodgirl- edgy/sunshine trope despite significant nuances; being torn between familial and spousal devotion; ruling over their kingdom as equally powerful forces of nature... Good good stuff.
But may I humbly suggest that we have been woefully neglecting the sheer dramatic potential of taang x Eros & Psyche.

i think the other thing that makes this ep not quite "work" is it isn't... i don't know, it must be aware of this, but it feels like it isn't aware of The Metaphor the alien plot is doing / saying about our main characters, and it doesn't take a second to truly show that to them.
It is showing the chuldur stealing people's identities and doing some good ol' ~disaster tourism~, it tells us what they are doing is wrong, we're expected to be shocked and appalled by what they've done to ruby.
but then there's not really a beat about how the doctor and co do the same thing every day (going to other times and taking the piss out of other ppl's histories / lives, then going off). and in the end even the contemporary human ruby "befriends" turns out to be a chuldur as well. so there's not a single regular human character developed in this.
then there's the whole proposal scene where the doctor and rogue "act" as well during that whole thing, which don't get me wrong was fun as hell, was a thrill to see them play w/ their prejudices, and as I said in my post the dialogue was very meaty for their particular characters.... but on the area of *theme* for this *episode*.... they're just doing the same thing as the chuldur. it feels like no one cares about all the people that are being murdered around them (nor the writers, who don't develop them), just their own fun.
and like the thing with doctor who episodes is, it's not enough to have a high body count, for it to be shocking.... you have to actually give those characters you kill a bit of depth/humanity/relatability, for the death to actually mean anything. ex: in end of the world, bc they show us the blue plumber and rose connecting for 1 little scene, we do actually care about her being murdered by the mini-war of the worlds robots, and care about what cassandra is doing. like the episode says "isn't the chuldur horrific? they are taking actual human beings as set dressing for their fun / entertainment!!" but then... the writing does the same thing by not giving death any kind of gravity / weight.
basically it feels like this B plot of the aliens wasn't properly aligned with the A plot of the rogue and doctor romancing. it works on its own (mostly, tho I still feel there's an element of depth missing in rogue)... but not with all the other aspects. which sucks bc the episode had all the ingredients to truly Bring It Home.

”You can tell us. We’re your parents. You can tell us even if it’s bad. We’ll listen. We love you. We’re adults so we need to talk like adults.”
aha ahahaha how about no? If you find out I’m an apostate I know you’re gonna raid my room and destroy my belongings; and even if what you say IS true, I still don’t trust you from the last time you said those things lmfao
My stuff isn’t out of the house so I’m not gonna fucking tell you lmao

I should say something clearly: the more ridiculous and less realistic violence is, the less likely it counts as a threat. So saying something completely ridiculous, absurd, and partially impossible (think: cartoonish) DOES NOT count as a threat. And threatening to report that to authorities is… somewhere between “unacceptable” and outright “the police will get mad at you instead” because it’s a free speech issue.
Now, business majors learn this first year because so many of us end up in tech or social media marketing.
So a certain CEO pretending not to know and making a special exception because his feelings got hurt, then threatening to contact the FBI, especially implying that further publicity will cause the report (when the platform he is in charge of does not remove or report domestic terrorist threats to the FBI) is… threading EXTREMELY dangerous territory for his career and business.
Free student professional consulting advice: I would strongly advise him to stop, shut up, delete everything, restore the account, and pretend like this never happened if he wants another job after this and doesn’t want to become a laughingstock on multiple other social media platforms while ruining his company’s brand.
Otherwise, I would keep doing what he’s doing but maybe take fewer trips on private jets. He’ll need to start pinching pennies soon.
Elon Musk can do it because he has already squirreled away more billions of dollars than you can even count. Anyone else’s reputation would be toast forever. And their monetization channels would instantly dry up. Forever.
