Doctor's Wife - Disturbing Realization - Spoilers

[jhumor]

So I just realized something that I haven't seen anyone mention anywhere:

I was actually disturbed that again the Doctor didn't give the bad guy a chance.  Nor did the TARDIS, oh yes, cool special effects.  And no, House and the TARDIS can't co-exist, but why not make it about them not being able to co-exist?  Why make it about 'killing House'?  I don't know, but this "Doctor is a bad-ass killing right and left" is getting to me.

As is all the Rory dying bits.  Why is the Doctor so into killing people and SM so into killing Rory?

Your observation ties into something I'm writing, and I am curious --- Do you perceive Eleven as being more bloodthirsty about killing or simply killing more?

[jhumor]

He kills about as much as he always did, so it's not that

I don't know that it's 'bloodthirsty'. Ten, Nine, Seven (Minus Skaro), even Six (and the rest) all had "What have I done" moments when it came to killing. Killing was always the last result and with Eleven it certainly appears to be a 'first choice'. And in "Day of the Moon" he certainly seems to enjoy blasting them all to bits.

I think what it reminds me of is a 11 year-old who just got the newest GI Joe (yah, dating myself - shush) action figure and is having all kinds of fun blowing up all the other action figures (and Barbie dolls) he can get his hands on.

I don't know what you call it when it's 'real' and quite a bit ooc for him.

Ah...G.I. Joe. We called them "dolls" and not "action figures" in my day, which means I'm carbon dating myself.

[jhumor]

hahaha! So did we, I was trying to not date myself too much :P

>>And in "Day of the Moon" he certainly seems to enjoy blasting them all to bits.

He did no such thing! River was the one shooting them o_O

[jhumor]

He was shooting them with his sonic and seemed to rightly enjoy River's method of disposing of them.

[owlboy]

River rightly pointed out that his sonic was useless for defending them, then made a point of telling Rory that the Doctor would have been angry if he'd seen what she'd done. He wasn't even in the room when River dispatched all of them.

[jhumor]

But he was in the room as it all began, and seemed to be having a bit of fun while she was killing them. I'm just saying, it seems quite out of character.
