Thats the Terrance Dicks line that Steven Moffat referenced in The Day of the Doctor.
Hes on the top layer if you want to say a few words.
Thats a line that either Steven Moffat or Phil Ford wrote forInto The Dalek.
Hes an alien genius, he grew up on planet Oxbridge, and he gets stuck into difficut situations.
Its not a total shock, therefore, to see him be an aloof death-monger with a superiority complex.
As illustrated inInto The Dalek, the Doctor also has some subconscious hatred issues going on.
Combine this with his background, and you could see how he might end up racially insulting other aliens.
Mind you, inThe Romansas Nero burned the city, the First Doctor cackled away to himself.
Maybe he just likes starting fires.
This is a long way from Theyre never small to me.
Who is the Doctor trying to kid?
Himself, mainly, but also his companion.
His behaviour towards Peri is wildly inconsistent.
Imagine the Sixth Doctor bombarding around the universe without Peri to explain him to other people.
The phrase Theres no such thing as a selfless good deed ties in with this.
The Doctors companions are now like his carers.
He needs them for their utility as well as the usual anti-loneliness reasons.
Let us feast on the death cries of our enemies!
and the denouement would be somewhat jarring with the timeslot.
Like at the end ofWatchmen, even though they sort of dont there.
Okay, bad example.
So he probably should have been less surprised that the big speech thing inRings Of Akhatendidnt work.
