Season 1 (Series 14) Episode 5: "Dot and Bubble"
(lemmy.world)
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...
Well, they wouldn't put their phones down...
But yeah, it seems to me the slug thing was not needed since they revealed it was the Dot killing everyone anyway.
All it had to do was walk someone into an open elevator shaft or off the top of a building or into traffic.
Shit, GPS is doing that NOW:

and has been for a while now...

Maybe the dots had grown to hate the inhabitants of Finetown so much that they just enjoyed watching them get eaten by slugs. I mean sure they could just headbutt them to death...but which is funnier?
After the end of the episode I can totally understand that point of view.
I could totally see that... plus the slugs dispose of the bodies, keeping the city neat and clean.
I could see the slugs already existing as a waste disposal solution and the dots just 'redirecting' them too...
Maybe the slugs made the dots and they're just smarter and cooler than we assume? I have no idea really lol
