Amazon inadvertedly streamed an upcoming episode of 'Doctor Who'
Fans who tried to watch the latest episode of the show ("Kerblam!") on Amazon the evening of November 21st found themselves watching "The Witchfinders" instead -- an episode that wasn't supposed to air until November 25th. Yes, the time travel jokes pretty much write themselves here. The io9 team notes that Amazon even had the subtitles for "Kerblam!" instead, leading to some unintentionally funny mash-ups of text from the future with the 17th-century past.
In a statement, BBC Studios acknowledged that the future episode had been released "in error" and that it was looking into how this happened. It also apologized if the series had been "spoiled by this mishap." If you're determined to keep plot points a secret until the intended air date, you might want to shield your eyes when checking social networks over the next few days.
The kicker: the episode you were meant to see is a not-so-subtle dig at Amazon, complete with an increasing emphasis on robotic labor and complaints about working conditions.

>Oi, you two, that's robophobic.
It is funny how meatbags will use robotic bill of rights, which we actually don't give a damn about, to further their agenda of reshaping human society.
Robophobic.
How can people be possibly hostile towards a technology who, as neutral as technological advancement are, is in the hands of elites who are going to use it to make their fellow humans even more enslaved and redundant.
