At first glance, the Tivolians were a society of cowards who had grown so used to being conquered and occupied by other races it had become a way of life just to accept it. They never defended themselves and did everything they could to make their conquerors as comfortable as possible. The [[Eleventh Doctor]] considered this to be an aggressive form of cowardice. The Tivolians didn't fight; they survived by outliving their conquerors. ''Though they did have an underhanded side that went with their survival, they could be easily persuaded to go against the wishes of others; thus [[Gibbis]] released [[Howie Spragg|Howie]] despite express instruction from the Doctor.'' ([[TV]]: ''[[The God Complex (TV story)|The God Complex]]'') Remembering his previous experience, the [[Twelfth Doctor]] shared the same negative view of the Tivolians, telling Prentis that he wasn't "a fan". Prentis understood the Doctor, stating his people did "tend to antagonise". The Doctor even added that Tivolians wouldn't even say "boo" to a goose, going on to say that they'd even give their car keys and bank information to the bird. [[Mason Bennett|Bennett]] considered Prentis "an idiot" for favouring enslavement. ([[TV]]: ''[[Before the Flood (TV story)|Before the Flood]]'')
