I remain split between watching Class out of some sort of pseudo-professional obligation and just not giving a gently caress.

As a guy who's written extensively, far too extensively, on the question of the Doctor's morality, calling him a "bad guy" is needlessly reductionist to outright disingenuous. The Doctor's, at his very worst (The Christmas Invasion), as cruel as the world in which he inhabits. He commits genocide on a race of beings that are about to commit genocide. That doesn't make what he does right, and it's pretty reprehensible, but relatively speaking he's a corrective force, reacting to the situation he's in over creating the situation he's in. He's an unequivocal force for good in this universe. The entire of the premise of the show hinges on that truism, and at its heart Doctor Who is a deeply optimistic show about the triumph of simple goodness over our more craven and selfish desires. The construction of the program relies entirely on the Doctor being a good guy; without that assumption the very show falls completely apart. It's also why, when RTD ruminated on "Is the Doctor good????" approximately 2,784,510,239 times (conservative estimate) during his run, the answer was always "Yes." Because the show doesn't work at all if he's not. However, I would argue that The Doctor isn't an especially good person. He does good, but has so many character flaws he's often incredibly hard to sympathize with. He's not a madman with a box, and he's definitely not a psychopath with a box. He's an rear end in a top hat with a box. Especially Twelve.

I'm just letting you all know. If the Cubs lose this game, Doctor Who is cancelled. I'm not a Cubs fan, mind you, but there's a poison pill clause in Doctor Who that if the Cubs lose a deciding Game 7 of the World loving Series after five loving runs up and a rain delay that kicks off extra innings, the entire of Doctor Who is just scrapped.

How was Class? How was the Christmas special? Also, oh god Jeru is a mod now, the bar has been lowered as far as it could possibly go when Doctor Who goons are calling the shots.
