Why does the doctor and mainly his companions call the evil aliens they encounter monsters? Surely the doctor would call them evil aliens and make sure his companions do the same. They don't "fight monsters", they fight "evil, against power-mad conspirators." And don't say its because of the humans. Damn show seems like its revolved around earth and humanity. The point of the show is that it is an alien time traveler who can go anywhere, anytime. Not to bloody croydon all the time. --[[User:Coop3|Coop3]] [[User talk:Coop3|<span title="Talk to me">☎</span>]] 22:21, August 25, 2013 (UTC) | Why does the doctor and mainly his companions call the evil aliens they encounter monsters?

In the Ganger episodes it is the humans who use the term "monster" while the Doctor tries to lead them to a more enlightened perspective. I recall him using "monsters" when he was talking to, not about, George. Speaking to a frightened child in terms he understood. At time it seems the humans are as monsterous as any alien creature. Dinosaurs on a Spaceship seems to make the same point.[[User:Phil Stone|Phil Stone]] [[User talk:Phil Stone|<span title="Talk to me">☎</span>]] 04:27, August 26, 2013 (UTC) | |||

Why does the doctor and mainly his companions call the evil aliens they encounter monsters? Surely the doctor would call them evil aliens and make sure his companions do the same. They don't "fight monsters", they fight "evil, against power-mad conspirators." And don't say its because of the humans. Damn show seems like its revolved around earth and humanity.

- He can go anywhere and anywhen, so what's the problem if he likes a gradually progressing sense of "modern-day" London the best? And they're referred to as "monsters" because that's generally how they act—on a level of morality lower than that of a peaceful civilization. And another point of the show (in its revived era, at least) is that you don't have to be an alien time traveler to do great things—you could just be an ordinary person, like Martha.
