Oh right I get you now. You mean that some people's moral relativism/nihilism seems to excuse racism, homophobia as "another point of view and all points of view are equal" kind of thing?Rosalie wrote:I'm not talking about all people, only some people, and the loophole this creates that allows homophobes and racists to still have so much power in this world.
Then I agree with you. And well, my "naked rampant" line can serve as a rebuke to them. Bloody post-modernists

Pah.
I agree with Rosalie on one part, about Super being more like a role-model for homosexual comic-strip geeks, but following Dark's advice, gimme mister Crow any time. The comics as well as the first movie.(and when I'm in the mood, the second)
Or Sin City! Man, I just saw the movie a couple of days ago and it RULES!
And when are they going to do a decent filming of T.H.U.N.D.E.R. agents?
IZ.

The Doctor is a renegade due to his anti-authoritarian viewpoint, but not from a good/evil standpoint since his morality seems within the accepted boundaries of his culture.smiscandlon wrote:He'll always be a good guy to me.d00mw0lf wrote:Well you would be, wouldn't you?smiscandlon wrote: Buggery bollocks. Just watched The War Games, and the Doctor is thoroughly affronted when the War Chief suggests that they're two of a kind.
So there.
In Shada, the Doctor notes that Salyavin (a criminal mastermind) was "a boyhood hero" of his.
In the last series - he told the Dalek "god" he would always take the coward's way out.
He was exiled to Earth for faffing about with other planets and pissing the timelords off.
His future regeneration (The Valeyard) was pure evil - he even brought Colin baker's regeneration back to gallifrey, put him on trial and then tried to kill him.
Ok, so the doc's not "just evil" but he can hardly be considered a good guy either.
His attitude to authority is frequently depicted as being irreverant - something which is seen as bad/evil by those who like strict social hierarchies, and as good by those who dislike them.
So clearly he can be a renegade at the same time as being a good guy, but only if you take a relativist viewpoint on morality (like most intelligent honest people do who aren't fundamentalist religious nutters, terrorists, politicians or the Daily Mail).
And as a postscript, he's a fictional character scripted by a legion of different writers over the past 40+ years for a light-entertainment TV show - I hardly think that you can expect editorial consistency of that standard for a show scripted by so many people over so long a period of time. Sheesh.
Who are you people?

Not sure I agree. Surely the "editorial consistency" is that no matter how morally ambigious the situations the character's been placed in, he always strives to do what is "right" (free the oppressed, stop the fighting, protect the innocent etc.). That's been pretty constant throughout the history of the programme.lazarus corporation wrote:And as a postscript, he's a fictional character scripted by a legion of different writers over the past 40+ years for a light-entertainment TV show - I hardly think that you can expect editorial consistency of that standard for a show scripted by so many people over so long a period of time.

Actually, even through his different regenerations, there has been quite a lot of consistancies of the character.
Keep in mind hundreds of years pass when we don't see him.
He starts out younger than 400(we're lead to believe), and ends up going over 900(Eccleston's Doctor).

But the doctor's age could vary due to lots of things such as the planet he's on (surley an Earth year is different to a Gallifreyan one?) and if he's using his "showbiz age" or not .Rosalie wrote:Actually, even through his different regenerations, there has been quite a lot of consistancies of the character.

He always gives his age in earth years, ever since Patrick Troughton says "Well, in your time.." in Tomb of the Cybermen.
But yeah, the Doctor probably lies about his age, a lot. He might not even know. It's never been that consistant.
What we do know though is that he went almost 400 years at least without a regeneration.
Where did he clock in another 500 years though? Don't the last ep of one series and the first of another usually run into each other in some form of another? I better read up on it.

If his trial was anything like "Trial of a timelord" that'll be at LEAST 500 years! (it takes a special type of person to watch all of Trial in one go...)
Gah. That picture is FAR too colourful for this time in the afternoon.
I'm not a goth. I'm more of a monochrome folk-punk.
