As they encounter a seamstress by the name of Rosa Parks, they begin to wonder whether someone is attempting to change history. Rosa was the third episode of series 11 of Doctor Who. Set just prior to Rosa Parks ' arrest for refusing to surrender her seat to a white passenger, this story dealt with heavy themes, and included blatant depictions of racism, mainly directed at the Doctor's companions Ryan and Yaz. Politically Incorrect Villain: Krasko is an unrepentant racist whose entire scheme is to prevent Rosa Parks from refusing to give up her seat on the bus, thereby triggering the Montgomery bus boycott and kick starting the civil rights movement. He believes that this will ensure the "inferior races" are in their "proper place" in his future. Rosa is played by Vinette Robinson, who manages to embody Parks with apparent ease. Though her accent is a little inconsistent at times, Robinson exudes both a quiet strength and a weariness The third episode of Doctor Who season 11, "Rosa," left a lot of questions unanswered about its main villain. This was a historical episode unlike anything we've ever seen before in Doctor Who, a character piece that also acted as a social commentary on the issue of racism and prejudice. Season 11's first historical episode continues the tradition, landing the Doctor and friends smack in the middle of 1955 Alabama, with renowned civil rights icon Rosa Parks. Montgomery, Alabama. 1955. The Doctor (Jodie Whittaker) and her friends find themselves in the Deep South of America.

Doctor Who series 11’s third episode introduces a new villain to the series called Krasko, a murderer and time traveller who tries his best to stop Rosa Parks’ 1955 bus protest as part of a The emphasis of the bus scene very much feels like we are supposed to be feeling more sad for Graham becoming a “part of history” than we are for Rosa Parks, which on one hand makes sense as Graham is more of a character but on the other hand Rosa Parks is a real person and I think this episode did this whole topic a disservice. Calling the episode Rosa is a neat nod to Billie Piper’s 2005 debut Rose, and there’s a measured central performance from Vinette Robinson as Rosa Parks, buttoned-up, stoical, kind, principled Rosa Parks, in the future, becomes a symbol for humans to stand up against oppression and Krasko wants to stop that from happening. He never specifies anything else than "stopping your kind from rising above their station" or something like that. "Your kind" could easily mean "humans" in a show like Doctor Who.
