went into this one knowing its kind of a controversial episode, which i can see how it is. i think it does work well as being educational to younger viewers who dont know a lot about the civil rights movement but also like it does fall flat on that as well. for instance i think the most important aspect of rosa parks is that after she got taken off the bus she led boycotts which was a lot of the work she had to put in to make any sort of change. but this episode focuses more on the name of a bus driver than even once mentioning that important detail, even though they want to hammer in that she made a change? also like i understand they were going for "safe" choices for this but i think malcolm x was as important to civil rights as rosa parks and martin luther king so i have to say im disappointed with no mention of him here but i also understand why he wouldnt get one.

another nitpick but just like the woman who fell to earth this one had a ton of mcu-like dialogue and just kind of felt put together in a really weird way that i really dont know how to explain in words. wasnt the worst episode ever but it couldve been done better, i still think it can be an exciting adventure to watch for young viewers (thinking 10 and under tbh lol) to get them interested in this bit of history
