#honestly Dot and Bubble is the episode im most excited abt

[snackleggg]

So I think Dot and Bubble will be a social media episode.

The thing that really solidified this was the character list we got.

There are ALOT of named characters, and they all have very strange names. Usually, in DW episode with large character casts, there will be 5, maybe 6 named characters, excluding the doctor and their current companion(s). Having lots of named characters is usually a big struggle since they need to be introduced and also endeared to the audience, so we care about them. This takes up time, and it's just impossible to do this with such a large list of named characters.

Unless we simply know their names not because they were explicitly introduced but because they are visible as their user name. This would also explain why all the names are so bizarre. They aren't their real names, they are user names.

The episode teaser also has a social media feel as it obviously seems to be depicting some kind of screen with what I assume to be peoples profiles in the background.

And the name of the episode itself, Dot and Bubble. All of these things add up to this being an episode that may focus around a futuristic social media that Goes WrongTM.
