Run back to the forums if you're scared.


The docotor in both episodes 2 and 3 has appeared uncaring about things. in episode 2 he sent solomon to his death knowing he would die and seem not care less and acted pretty ruthlessly. the doctor we know who not have thoughtlessly killed anybody like that regardless of what they had done. and also in episode 3 a town called mercy the doctor doesnt seem to care about which side he should support.

this uncaring attitude and disregard about life is totally out of character for the doctor, where has the uncaring attitude come from and more importantly where will it lead........87.83.10.218talk to me 11:52, September 18, 2012 (UTC)

This was dealt with in Episode 3. Amy told the Doctor that he had become uncaring because he had been travelling alone for a while, and the Doctor realised the error of his ways. I think that arc is finished now because it wouldn't make sense for them to pursue it any more, and I hope they don't, because it worked well as a two episode story arc, and the programme has to explore other things to stay fresh. 94.72.192.2talk to me 15:19, September 18, 2012 (UTC)

I don't think that it is exactly that he doesn't care. He still cares about Queen Nefertiti, the citizen's of Mercy, and the victims of Kahler Jex's experiments. It seems however, that after travelling alone for so long he is not as quick to show mercy to his enemies. It's a similar theme to what was explored in the 2009 specials (particularly Waters of Mars).Icecreamdif 17:39, September 18, 2012 (UTC)

Either way, I doubt it's something they'll continue to explore in the rest of Series 7. 94.72.192.2talk to me 20:56, September 18, 2012 (UTC)
