Never Cruel or Cowardly - Doctor Who

No matter how bad things get. No matter what you lose, what you fear, what you have to do or what you failed to do. Just be kind.

This is why the Doctor was my role-model as a kid, because he isn't a good person but that he makes himself be kind and promises to himself that he must never give up or give in to his tendencies. It's the story of a bad man trying to be good and (mostly) succeeding, a redemption arc for someone who feels like they shouldn't have one

[@SuaveGemini]

Real talk.

[@joshchannel3389]

The doctor is a Alien that has been humanised by his companions to do good and face evil! The doctor would be nothing without his companions

[@lazyken6468]

He isn’t a good person? What are you on. If you were being objective then yeah(no one is good) but, there’s literally no better person than him.

[@ohgoditshimrun1346]

There's only one bit I wish had been included, from the McGann short, "Night of the Doctor". OHILA: Because you are the good man, as you call yourself? DOCTOR: I call myself the Doctor. OHILA: It's the same thing in your mind. DOCTOR: I'd like to think so. Because that right there really informs Capaldi's question even more than the events of Melody's birth do.

[@dallama2616]

Im upset theres no "and never eat pears"

[@Chris-gx1ei]

If the Doctor asks me: "Am I a good Man?" I would say: I dunno, but you are not the worst. And even If I seem to be a good man, I am also no good man either. I have some kind of balance between being good and bad.

[@ripLunarBirdCLH]

The words of main character of my stories: "I've lived for centuries and you know what I noticed? Love, friendship, kindness - those are the foundation of everything. Remove them from the equation and the math just fails, the world falls apart. Trust me, I know. I've seen a world like that. That's what most people call hell. Because hell is not a place. Hell is the state of mind."

[@stinchjack]

This is perfect, it shows not the mask but the true Doctor, not the happy adventurer that goes on trips with friends but the survivor, the man who had done worst things then we can possibly know and never forgets and never forgives, not others but himself, he has been around for centuries but he has never let himself become the Master, no matter how hard it was sometimes to face evil, no matter how close he was to breaking a rule he made, he stayed strong, he became the word for healer when in truth there is a thing inside that reminds people why he is the predator of the Daleks, this has captured that side perfectly and I salute you for doing as much

I really miss when The Doctor was Capaldi, I watched most the newer series and it just doesn't hit the same... feels more watered-down, less dramatic with almost no impact, even the bs timeless child episodes felt like it was forced... as if anyone needed to know the Doctor was some special entity?

He can’t, he’s too busy jacking himself to his used worn-out copy of the Virgin New Adventures book, Lungbarrow. If he couldn’t make them “The Other” than by Rassilon, he’ll make her “The Timeless Child”!

[@Amartin-mu6oj]

This doctor is gone unfortunately, hence why his ring falling off was emphasized during capaldis regeneration. The doctor completed his arc, the man river song married is gone. I considered capaldis regeneration the end of the show, mainly because this new doctor is just boring.

[@Popcultureguy3000]

@@Amartin-mu6oj Please, Jodie has shown a lot of potential and energy in non-Chibnail related scripts and non-Chibnail directed episodes! It’s always been Chibnail, he’s been holding Jodie back with upper-management pleasing inoffensive blandness since day one of her tenure. And I’m hardly the only person that thinks this, the most common response I’ve seen to that The Guardian leak about her leaving is “Why can’t Chris leave so we can see if Jodie would flourish under a better director/writer/producer?”, people have even brought up how much better Colin Baker has been in the Big Finish and BBC radio produced audio dramas, proving what fans have already been saying about his behind-the-scenes troubles to be 100% true.

[@Amartin-mu6oj]

@@Popcultureguy3000 I never said she didn't have potential, nor does that invalidate anything i said. I agree that chibnall is the main issue, but the reason i don't enjoy the new regeneration is because it's essentially a clean slate for the character, and i find it boring. I get that you like jodie, she's a great actress, but you don't have to be condescending ass about it.

[@katsarelas1947]

I think this is why the newest doctor really hurts me on a personal level. They NEVER mention any of this. Honestly I keep googling if it’s suppose to be a soft reboot. None of it. None of the ageless weight of impossible choices. No reflections of the times they’d commit genocide to save a friend, only to give up by a single look of that friend, knowing that if they did- just the gaze of their friend, forever, would make them know they were wrong. I mean hell I’m still upset about her like 4th ep on a hospital ship where she ALMOST HELD A SHIP HOSTAGE AT GUNPOINT TO TURN BACK SEVERAL DAYS until the ships surgeon convinced her if they turned back, half the patients wouldn’t survive Even THEN she was like “ugh I guess” and never had an apology or reflection in that episode. (Same for the spider ep where she, KNOWING ALL OF THEM WERE DESTINED TO GROW AND SUFFOCATE ((or starve, in that bunker)) was like “nooo ending them now is cruel, let them either die slowly or kill innocent people!”) And I like her, the character (in premise) even some of the companions (though I think 3 brand new with a brand new doctor is too much) And I love the actors And her 2nd season tried to be closer. But this? Any of THIS? Wasn’t there.

"Never cruel or cowardly" Then they give us the 13th Doctor, who never confronts any of the bad guys unless she has a mini army with her or a force field blocking them approaching her. The 12th Doctor went are squared up against the Half-Face Man, knowing it's extremely likely he will just rip him in half. Then she is shown to be extremely cruel by locking a group of her opponents in a room for them to eat each other or starve because "killing" is wrong.
