Good: Difference between revisions

While the Doctor often tried to be a force for good, his methods could be seen as evil, causing other races to raise arms in fear against him, ([[TV]]: ''[[A Good Man Goes to War (TV story)|A Good Man Goes to War]]'') with [[The Alliance (The Pandorica Opens)|an alliance]] including several of his enemies imprisoning him in an attempt to prevent the [[end of the universe]]. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Pandorica Opens (TV story)|The Pandorica Opens]]'') After much deliberation, ([[TV]]: ''[[Into the Dalek (TV story)|Into the Dalek]]'') the [[Twelfth Doctor]] came to the conclusion that he was neither a good man nor a bad man, but rather "an [[idiot]]", one "with a [[The TARDIS|box]] and a [[The Doctor's sonic screwdriver|screwdriver]] [...] passing through, helping out, [[learning]]". ([[TV]]: ''[[Death in Heaven (TV story)|Death in Heaven]]'')

{{Gomez}} considered the needless [[murder]] of a married man who had a child to be evidence enough that she had not "turned good". ([[TV]]: ''[[The Magician's Apprentice (TV story)|The Magician's Apprentice]]'') As [[the Master]] was the only person the [[Twelfth Doctor]] had ever met who he felt was remotely like him, the Doctor wanted nothing more than for them to stand by his side and be good. ([[TV]]: ''[[World Enough and Time (TV story)|World Enough and Time]]'') He found this [[hope]] difficult to resist. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Eaters of Light (TV story)|The Eaters of Light]]'') Even while "really trying not to kill anyone today" to impress the Doctor, Missy proudly expressed that being "more [[evil]]" automatically meant she was "cleverer". ([[TV]]: ''[[World Enough and Time (TV story)|World Enough and Time]]'') Missy, in the end, admitted that standing with the Doctor was all she had ever wanted, too. She ultimately died, by her {{Simm|n=past self}}'s hand, trying to join him at last. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Doctor Falls (TV story)|The Doctor Falls]]'')
