//Okay let’s talk about how this show is tackling intersectional feminism wonderfully, as well as the notion that a person who is Othered can be both progressive and reactionary.  For instance King James obviously identifies as queer, by the fact that he’s hitting on Ryan, but also is not, by being queer, exempt from extreme misogyny, toward Witchfinder Savage (unless she kowtows completely to his whims) and to the Doctor.  This is because he is still a cis man, in a time period in which cis men are afforded unchallenged authority.

Well done. Very organic, realistic way of showing the fluxing dynamic between minorities.  Unfortunately perfect harmonious solidarity among the Othered is not always the reality. 

On the other hand on a note of hope Yaz, as a woman, Muslim, and person of color, understood the fear of the pagan girl and her grandmother, and used them to comfort the girl.  Sometimes experiencing oppression makes you kinder and more compassionate, and far, far more aware.
