â€å“my Doctor Told Me I Would Never Walk Again My Mother Told Me I Would I Believe My Motherã¢â‚¬â

The Dark Doctor

I know a lot of Md Who fans seem to see the Md every bit this mythical character that never uses a gun, doesn’t kill, isn’t violent, and always tries to salve everyone.  Near of the time that is true, but there are times the Doctor tin can become a very dark, even vengeful character; when he does, information technology makes you think just how terrifying it would be if he was the bad guy.  Power-mad conspirators, Daleks, Sontarans, Cybermen – They’re still in the nursery compared to the Dr..

I was surprised at how many fans were upset at the way the Medico left Solomon to die at the terminate of "Dinosaurs on a Spaceship."  It is not the offset time the Doctor has gone dark, particularly when a villain has does something specially nasty to someone he likes (like slaughtering thousands of Silurians).

Hither are a few examples of the Physician acting against â€Å"Grapheme.”  This listing will only deal with the TV series, if information technology were to bargain with the Comics, Books, or Big Terminate Audios, it would exist considerably longer.  For example in the BBC Eighth Doctor Adventures range there were several books where the Dr. was wiping out entire alternate timelines/universes, to preserve the Prime Timeline.  Wrap your head effectually that; the Physician destroyed unabridged existences full of millions of inhabited planets.

The Starting time Dr. in "An Unearthly Child" was going to smash in an injured caveman’s head with a rock, so he and his companions could escape, until Ian noticed him.

The Second Doctor, well, unfortunately nigh of his episodes have been lost.  I have heard all the audio tracks and seen the reconstructions of the episodes, but I can’t honestly call back of any examples off the acme of my caput.

The 3rd Medico regularly uses Venusian Aikido/Karate to render his opponents unconscious.  In "Mean solar day of the Daleks" he picks upwards a laser and uses it to atomize several Ogrons.  In "Colony in Space" he tells the colonists that if there are some indigenous hostile creatures on the planet, surely the colonists could track downward and destroy them.  Sounds similar a pretty violent solution to me.

The Fourth Doctor regularly punches people and at times twists their necks rendering them unconscious.  In "The Ribos Operation" when he is disguised as one of the Graff Vynda-K’s guards, the Graff gives the Doc a grenade primed to explode and walks away expecting his baby-sit to sacrifice himself.  The Dr. switches the grenade for the Key to Time segment and lets the Graff walk off and explode.  He also mentions in "The Talons of Weng-Chiang" that he was with the Filipino Army at the final accelerate on  Reykjavik in the 51st century.

The Fifth Dr., Ok, pretty nice guy virtually of the time.  Although in "Resurrection of the Daleks" he was prepared to shoot Davros, he even held a blaster to Davros’ caput.

The Sixth Doctor, much similar the Fourth did resort to physical violence on a number of occasions, and even assaulted his companion Peri.  He also gunned downward a couple of Cybermen in "Attack of the Cybermen"ÂÂin addition to stabbing a Cyberman in the chest with a laser lance.

The Seventh Doc in "Remembrance of the Daleks" uses the Hand of Omega to destroy the unabridged planet of Skaro, and so the Dalek Fleet.  Oddly we saw Skaro again in "Asylum of the Daleks" (Timey Wimey).  In "Silver Nemesis" he uses the validium statue Nemesis (a Fourth dimension Lord weapons system) to destroy the unabridged Cyber-fleet.  On several occasions he manipulated his companion Ace, as well as everyone effectually him, equally if they were chess pieces to brand his plans fall into identify.

The Eighth/Ninth Md ended the Time War past locking abroad all the Daleks and Time Lords into a fourth dimension loop.

The Ninth Doc in "The End of the World" allows Casandra to dehydrate to expiry.  Also the Daleks don’t nick name y'all â€Å"The Oncoming Storm” without a body count.  By the way the Doctor did say that he fought on the front lines of the Time War.

The Tenth Doc in "Human Nature/Family unit of Blood," and how he punishes the Family unit at the stop of the story.  He pushes Female parent of Mine out of the TARDIS into the event horizon of a collapsing galaxy, wraps Father of Mine in unbreakable bondage forged in the heart of a dwarf star, traps Sister of Mine in every mirror in beingness, and suspends Son of Mine every bit a scarecrow.  In "The End of Time" he points a gun back and forth and The Chief and Rassilon’s heads until he finally decides to shoot the car that is unlocking the time loop the Fourth dimension War is trapped in.

The Eleventh Doctor’due south wonderful â€Å"Colonel Run Away” speech in "A Good Human Goes to War" is a swell example of the Doctor being vindictive.  Oh yeah that episode started off with him destroying the 12h Cyber Legion’south fleet simply as punctuation to a question.

Don’t get me wrong, I remember all of the Doctor’s actions I have listed were valid and almost of the people that he has directly or indirectly killed/left for dead almost assuredly deserved information technology.  Go along in mind, this is a list off the summit of my head, I’m sure in that location are more that I am forgetting.  I guess my signal is that fans believed it when River Song said â€Å"Rule #1: the Medico lies”, and nonetheless they seem to believe the Doctor when he says he doesn’t lie, use violence, guns, or impale.  Yous can’t accept information technology both ways one of them is telling the truth and one isn’t. I think later the evidence of 49 years of history, I’m going to believe River.

The Doc aspires and tries to get others to aspire to non use violence or weapons, but he is past no means above using them himself if it is justified.  Sometimes the story calls for the Doctor to exist a nighttime character.  Do I ever desire the Doctor to be a nighttime vehement character?  No, but I find it enjoyable to get to see that side of him on occasion.

Tonight a new episode airs, "A Town Called Mercy" is a story told in the Quondam West; and it looks as if the Doc will be using a gun again.  We'll have to await and see if he goes to that dark identify in one case again.
