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.

Run back to the forums if you're scared.

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. --Coop3 22:21, August 25, 2013 (UTC)
