He cant blame the tardis for abandoning Jack because despite flying all the way to the end if the universe, after that the tardis fly's fine with jack on... Eg.Dropping him back in Cardiff after tytnw and also in journeys end.....
The Family of blood story is also a good one. He deliberately led the aliens to a small quiet English village, knowing he was putting it at risk in order to hide. At the end the woman his human form falls in love with says "If the Doctor hadn't chosen to come here, would so many people have died?" Fucking brilliant. Although I guess he does somewhat redeem himself by saving the 2 boys by warning one of them of their deaths at the First World War, leading to one of the greatest ending to a TV episode I have ever seen.
The Doctor is indirectly responsible for the deaths of the 4 innocent (well, 3 and a little shit) people who are taken over, plus the people they end up killing themselves. I was happy to see Jessica Hynes character call him out on it. Agreed that it's one of the best Who episodes out there (only complaint being Father of Mine's actor being criminally underused).
Yes! He could very easly isolate himself in a abandoned planet or place. The truth is that the Doctor wanted to "be kind" and sacrifice for it, but not enough to isolate himself alone in an inhospitable place.
The Time Lord Victorious is actually part of the reason I love Tennant's portrayal. It shows just how fallible he is, it shows how far he'll go to stand tall in the face of grief to feel some control over the fact that every where he goes he faces significant casualty rates.
In the very first episode"An Unearthly Child" The 1st Doctor practically kidnaps Ian and Barbara by Starting the TARDIS while they are still inside so they can't tell anyone about him or the TARDIS. Even though no one would of probably believed them and The Doctor and Susan could of easily located to a different country, time, planet etc. Kidnapping two people is generally a very dick move.
The first doctor's character was always a bit of a dick and his whole character arc was that he starts to become more friendlier. I am not defendinghis actions but just saying that the doctor started of as a person who is hard to deal with. And the TARDIS on the other hand didn't properly obey the doctor until after the episode The Three Doctors.
The First Doctor was definitely a bit rough around the edges sometimes. Though, granted, this was before The Doctor's more famous goofy, charming, half-serious half-the-time personality really set in.
yes but you must also remember they barged into what is essentialy his home, scoffed at everything he said, there was a genuine fear they would go to authorities (and he IS an alien)
@@julieeverett7442 yeah he wasn't entirely in the wrong to be afraid and essential kidnap them for his safety, he still had little idea what humans were properly like and how everything on earth worked. So being in a foreign place with foreign people threatening to get the authorities of which you don't know what will do it's not unreasonable to instead kidnap and keep quiet instead of let go and have them tattle
@@LoverOfBellies Okay, there's no need for such language. It's been some time since I saw that episode, I mainly remembered Clara's tantrum at the end.
@@marcoludema8876 Arguably one of the worst episodes ever of new Doctor Who... I vaguely remember what happened in it, I have all seasons of new Who, and that episode is an easy pass to the point that even though I have watched every episode of the first three new who doctors at least 5 times, there are a couple of Capaldi episodes that I have zero desire to repeat, and have never re-watched, this along with pretty much anything featuring Clara's boyfriend, the episode with the monster under the bed, etc or Billie and her going to live in a haunted house, are just crap I can't rewatch. (btw... I love Billie, but she got a couple of piss poor episodes)
Always gives me chills to think that if the doctor didn't take the fluid link and go into the dalek city with susan and the gang, the daleks wouldn't have gained knowledge of the larger scope of the universe and would have remained on Skaro. Later stories I do think contradict this point and the daleks exploring the universe was inevitable, but I think it would make the doctor dalek relationship more fascinating I feel if it were true.
Martha is underappreciated both by the Doctor and the Fandom. I would love to see her join in an adventure with 13, who I think would actually show her some appreciation.
Her only character was too be infatuated by the doctor and if they showed her being a doctor and being smart maybe would of been more likeable but that’s just me, she just didn’t gel or feel like a decent companion the first episode of season 3 was really good but went down hill from there in rose’s shadow but my opinion.
The 10th Doctor wasn't just "a bit" of a dick in Human Nature/Family of Blood, he was a massive one as not only did he offer Redfern to travel with him after he basically killed his human avatar (no idea what word to actually use) and also didn't bother to think about the consequences of being forced to live for several months with Martha in early 20th century Britain while having a) no knowledge of who he was and b) the standard societal views of the time.
6:33 It was horrible for Amy and Rory to carry that burden. River knew what had happened. She had to carry the burden of seeing her parents suffer without being allowed to reach out to them. And when it all had been resolved, the Doctor still wasn't ready to let her tell them that he was alive.
The Doctor doesn't ignore Martha. Quite the opposite. He does, in fact, compliment her regularly. Like: “Very good point. Brilliant, in fact. What was your name?” (Smith and Jones) “Oh. Oh, Martha Jones, I like you.” (Shakespeare Code) “Oh, Martha Jones, you’re a star.” (Lazarus Experiment) “Thank you.” (42) “Thanks for looking after me.” (Family of Blood) “Thank you. Martha Jones, you saved the world.” (Last of the Time Lords) ----------- "No matter how hard Martha tried, she couldn't get the doctor to truly notice her." Thing is, Martha never understood from the beginning that the Doctor was never going to develop romantic feelings for her like he did with Rose. You can tell from the fact that right after he made that clear, she teased him about the genetic transfer (from when he kissed her to distract the Judoon). The Doctor told her from the start that they would never be together romantically, and Martha chose to believe she could change his mind, probably because she interpreted the situation as the Doctor getting over a breakup and figured he just needed time to get over Rose. Martha had a difficult go of it. She got in the TARDIS with a man grieving for his lost love, and she didn’t realize the full truth of that until nearly the end of her travels. Her unrequited feelings suck for her, and it also sucks that the writers made almost every one of Martha's major character moments be about the fact that the Doctor didn’t love her back. When Martha is so much more than the girl who pined for the Doctor. She is clever and badass and a caring friend. They should have focused on those things more. Admittedly, I do understand enough about intersectional feminism to get that a black woman playing the love interest is actually a breakthrough. Women of color are not often shown as objects of romance in media. They have to be the strong female friend instead. But. Martha was not written as a love interest. For her to be the romantic partner, her feelings would have to be returned by the lead character, and they were not. None of Martha’s struggles that stemmed directly from her feelings for the Doctor are his fault. I'll digress that perhaps, when he realized that against his warning she had developed feelings for him, he should have sat her down and talked to her. But he did warn her off from the start, so I don’t know how it can be said that he did not do enough in that regard. Hell, Martha herself doesn’t blame the Doctor for her feelings or for not returning them. In her speech before leaving, she doesn’t say, “You made me feel second best.” She says she spent a lot of time thinking she was second best. She takes ownership of that thought. And after explaining the parallel situation with her friend, she doesn’t accuse him of never seeing her like that. She doesn’t say it like he did anything wrong. She just says that she needs to get out.
Karen Page couldn’t have said it better myself, she was constantly in rose’s shadow and she wanted the doctor to notice in a romantic way not a friend way. I will say the doctor was giving her mixed signals throughout but I don’t think they wrote her very well. If they wrote her as more as a doctor and more independent/ sassy might have liked her better. Too much infatuation from her side it was a little annoying to say the least.
In the 2005 Children in Need Special (the one where Rose took time away from grieving and fearing for The Doctor to bleach her hair) it's explained that The Doctor left Jack behind because he had to rebuild the Earth at that point. The Doctor could have explained this of course and on the surface, yes it was a bit of a dickish thing to do but it was perhaps necessary. Also, I'd argue his treatment of Mickey was actually worse than his treatment of Martha, at least with Martha, you could put it down to emotional irrationality after losing Rose. The Doctor was just horrible to Mickey for literally no reason. Honourable mentions should be; The Doctor brushing Graham off when he tried to talk to her about his cancer, The Doctor selfishly trying to stop Amy from being zapped back in time to live out her days with her husband and The Doctor taking Ian and Barbara against their will.
Would Jack have interfered with the Doctor rebuilding Earth? He has a machine that travels through time and space, he can't be in a hurry, and he took Rose with him, so why didn't he take Jack too? He simply didn't want to deal with him and left him behind. I don't think there is any excuse.
Ah, but just because he was a timelord doesn't mean he couldn't be jealous and hiding it with dickish behavior! 9 and then 10 talked down to Mickey and treated him like a pest because he was Rose's boyfriend...at least at the start. Made sense to me. Had to make him the third wheel/tin dog. But I love Mickey's character arc. If he'd never met the Doctor (and thus Ricky) he wouldn't have turned into such a hero.
It is exampled why he left Jack behind in Utopia. Jack has become immortal and the Doctor says that because he is a fixed point in time, the Tardis tried to rejected him, although that was undone at the end of series 4
@Alex read the comment properly, I said The Doctor explains why he left him at the end of Parting of the Ways and it is explained why The Doctor left him behind in Utopia. I stated that in the first sentence of my comment.
@@alphamineron The Doctor accepts Jack for what he is at the end of The Last of Timelords, and wants Jack to travel with him and is rushed and skipped over in the episode actually!
@Alex that is because I wrote it in another language and it hasn't translated well! I am typing this one in English, I see what you mean though about the comment.
Joel Brown it’s not really acceptance Of what he is it’s more tolerating. Because it’s not a prejudicial thing it’s an evolutionary thing. Making him not easy to be around for the doctor as well as the tardis. But they know when they need his help so they tolerate him in Small intervals. Theirs also the possibility of the whole face of boe thing Which could mean that his existence as a Linear fact changes as he evolves into the talking head.
There was an episode with The Family, in the early (20th century, when the Doctor initially concealed himself in the guise of a teacher in a school. For one thing, Martha is stuck working as a maid in a backwards era. At the end, he eventually turns on the Family, inflicting some pretty nasty fates upon all of them.
Oh, come on: 10. He had just regenerated. I would've forgiven him for that. Besides, Colin Baker hadn't been treated all that well by the BBC. 9. When Sarah Jane later told him about what he'd done, he did ask if Aberdeen was next to Croydon. And maybe he may have been in somewhat of a hurry. 8. Considering how rubbish 13 was, I'm not really sure I can defend her all that much. 7. I admit that the 7th Doctor had become quite manipulative, but he was just trying to get Ace to face her fears. 6. He spoke about Rose a few times and he did state that he did like Martha when she when he were in the Globe Theatre and decided to expand their "one trip" with one in the past and one in the future and saved her life in 42. He also thanked her for looking after him in The Family of Blood. 5. The 5th Doctor openly stated that if he tried to return Adric home, it could've been dangerous. But after Tegan convinced him, the Doctor decided to at least look at the coordinates Adric had calculated. And after Adric helped the Doctor stopped the Cybermen from destroying Earth with that bomb, the two made things right with each other and the Doctor offered to take Adric home if he wanted to (though Adric did state - as you said - that he didn't really wanted to leave). 4. Well it was a fixed point in time. 3. He'd just been pushed quite a bit too far. And he didn't stay like that forever. 2. Although manipulating his companions may have been not a such good move back then, at least he confessed to what he'd done and helped free the Thals from the Daleks. 1. He did tell Jack that he had become a fixed point in time and that he wasn't sure he could stand him and that the T.A.R.D.I.S. wasn't all that fond of Jack (although he later offered Jack to travel with him). Also, maybe the way he treated Mickey might not have been called for, but Mickey was somewhat of a nervous wreck back then and later gained some respect from the Doctor.
The biggest Doctor being a dick moment for me: In _The End of Time,_ his narcissistic rant telling the trapped Wilf how unimportant his life was while whining about his _own_ life being so much more valuable. I hated Tennant's Doctor in that scene. Nine didn't whine and have a tantrum when Rose was burning up as Bad Wolf, he just went ahead and made her safe _knowing_ that it would kill him. It really disgusted me to hear Ten talking to Wilf like he was worthless, and was the complete opposite of the Doctor's normal attitude that _everyone_ is important. I know that, after he'd stopped his self-important crying, he mellowed and told Wilf it would be his honour, but that's not good enough.
@@arendellecitizen208 Before he finally decides to enter the chamber and free Wilf: WILF: Look, just leave me. DOCTOR: Okay, right then, I will. Because you had to go in there, didn't you? You had to go and get stuck, oh yes. Because that's who you are, Wilfred. You were always this. Waiting for me all this time. WILF: No really, just leave me. I'm an old man, Doctor. I've had my time. DOCTOR: *Well, exactly. Look at you. Not remotely important. But me? I could do so much more.* So much more! But this is what I get. My reward. And it's not fair! Petulant narcissism at it's finest, no misunderstanding here.
Its not the fact he did it that was my issue, its that he's never properly called out on it. That was a recurring problem I had with 10 (and Rose, for that matter). They're flawed characters but the show rarely acknowledges it, rather portraying them as though they are a paragon. Waters of Mars was a great story for actually calling 10 out on his shit, and its why Donna was a great companion,too.
Abandoning Clara in Deep Breath surrounded by killer robots just to save his own skin, should have been #1. In fact season 8 had quite a number of moments.
He didn’t abandon her though he was in the same room the entire time. Thought if the villain had killed her instead of questioning her like the bad guys always do then it would have been a bit awkward
@@helenalahovets128 well in the girl who waited he messed up and had to lie to old amy and basiclly have her killed to save young amy. in remembrance of the daleks the doctor basically woke up and thought "i'm going to destroy skaro today" he had it all set up so that would happen. usually the doctor stopping the bad guy blow up the planet this time he's causing it deliberately
13 shrugging of Graham's cancer is probably the most out of character, out of place, and deformation to the doctor's character I have ever seen in new who. Thanks chibnall
There is a small touch to that scene that I see. Maybe its just me playing devils advocate. She is clearly shown time and again to be socially awkward which the doctor has been before but also aware of how socially awkward she really is which the doctor hasn't really ever been. As such, she would know that just saying the first thing that came to mind would likely do more harm than good (a mistake I make repeatedly). So taking a minute to find the right words is a kindness and admitting that is what she is doing tells Graham that she does care and that she doesn't want to say the wrong thing.
It’s inconsistent with the 13th Doctor’s character for sure. But it wasn’t the Doctor being a jerk. The Doctor is an alien who often doesn’t relate to humans well. As out of character as that was for the 13th Doctor, that scene reminds us of that. I feel like that’s a scene that would have worked with Capaldi’s Doctor in series 8, cuz that’s a lot more like his characterization
Didn’t they litterally say the doctors death was a fixed point and couldn’t be changed and them not being there would mean a change because his future self already “died” even the doctor thought he was going to die until the moment the plan clicked into place
@@tlsmith7585 Can we not. Just because Chibnall is a crap writer doesn't make him an SJW. In fact, if he really was one, he'd have written the Doctor as something more than a whiny brat and given the POC companions more to do than just give exposition now and again. Let's not mistake politics for bad writing.
Not only did he strangle Peri, but he didn't go back and save her once the trial was over. The Timelords told him that she was rescued, but he didn't at least pop in to check in on her after she'd gone through quite an ordeal, and that's assuming we believe the TImelords. So it's entirely possible that he left her to die. Apparently there is a Big Finish audio that clarifies this, but I've not heard it so I can't say for sure. However, given that The Doctor can travel back in time, unless a companions death is somehow a fixed point in time, it's rather bizarre that they've had any companions actually stay dead. They could have saved Adric or any of the others that have died on their watch, even Ryan's nan.
12 was grumpy but I don’t think he was ever mean. Although saying that I’m probably forgetting a thousand good examples and the rest of the comments will remind me of them...
@@danthemeegs8751 yh 12 was a massive dick to Danny. He was a complete dick throughout the entire eppisode of into the dalek and kill the moon. What he did in kill the moon was probably one of his biggest dick moments. Don't get me wrong. Still my favourite doctor. Women just love a bastard 🤣
They really should bring back Ace. The actress was on tv when they announced the 12th Doctor. I would hope the character survived on Gallifrey. I wouldn't mind the Time Lord's sending her to stop The Doctor as that is something they would do and she would be a much better weapon against The Doctor than anything else the Time Lords have tried.
10 getting rid of Harriet Jones, and leading the Family of Blood to a place where they end up killing a bunch of innocent people are noteworthy. The bit with Tim Shaw, the Doctor shouts "You've got no right to do that!" at a guy who kicked Shaw off a crane after being hunted by him also counts. Idea for a future video, 10 Times The Doctor Was Actually An Utter Dick.
Well, both Harriet Jones and the Doctor weren't exactly wrong in their beliefs. Jones was made painfully aware that she can't always rely on the Doctor. But at the same time, the Doctor probably thought at the time that anyone who thinks violence is the solution shouldn't be in a position of power. And so he ruined her without resorting to violence. But as for the Family of Blood, they wanted to become immortal and the Doctor gave them exactly what they wanted. "Be careful what you wish for" and all that jazz. >:D
@@dawnwayfinder Not only that but Harriet is playing a very dangerous game. How does she know that killing those guys as they fled might not cause further aggression from a species who previously mostly ignored them but now considered them a threat? The people who defend Harriet's actions fail to acknowledge that killing them is potentially as dangerous, if not moreso, than keeping them alive.
He wasn't a dick with the Harriet Jones thing though, also in what way did he lead the Family of Blood anywhere?! He tortured/killed them at the end so they were no more lol
To be fair, you can see the look of regret on the doctor's face when Adric dies. He was most likely thinking something on the lines of "What have I done? I should have brought him home!"
And then there's 13 getting mad at Ryan for pushing Tim-Shaw off the crane when he was already dying from the genetic bombs that she uno reversed back on him
I don't blame theDoctor for Timelord Victorius. I blame Addelaide who begged and cajoled the Doctor to do some thing to save them. So he did he only thing he was left able to do, bring them home to Earth. She pushed him into it from the first moment they understood what their futurewouldbe as told to them by the Doctor. How many time did he say I can't help you. I can't change what will happen. Its a fixed point in time. And still she demands he change their deaths, so he does and then she pouts and commits suicide because one of the three rescue-es doesn't understand and can't handle Interdiimentional transindentialism and time travel.
What about the 12th Doctor buggering off and abandoning everyone in "Kill The Moon"? Granted, I wouldn't wanna be around Clara either, but to just swan off and leave everyone like that? That's just low.
Another one lol; he explained in the episode that he felt he couldn't/shouldn't get involved so left it to the humans to decide what happens to the moon
The Doctor could not interfere as it was Time Lord policy and there are points in human history that The Doctor cannot change and The Doctor knows when to back off and that he must let the humans decide. The Fourth Doctor decided not to choose a leader for the Saveteem and the Tesh on Leela's planet because that wasn't for him to say.
@@LoverOfBellies sure but there was a teenage girl there. He should have gotten her to safety. Clara and the astronaut were adults and esp Clara had signed up for it but the kid? No. Not okay in my eyes.
tbh i thought "well that's kind of a dick move" through the feels when I watched impossible astronaut the other day, I mean dude you cant just, do that
This is part of the reason that Davros was right when he revealed The Doctors' soul in Journey's End. A lot of innocent people have died because of The Doctor and his/her desire to be the hero and save everyone and show how clever he/she is. There's an element of The Doctor that is on an ego trip throughout time and space and innocent people give up their lives to feed it. #CancelTheDoctor
yeah, lets just ignore the fact that hes saved all of reality a dozen times over at least. a few people died that would have died anyway when reality was erased so box man bad.
For 5:55 the doctor may not have been in control here as he may have figured out before his “death” that they saw him die so he had to invite them otherwise what we saw in the finale of series 6 would’ve happened
You know what would make an awesome series of Who episodes is if some complex contrivance forced the doctor, against his better judgement, to find a way to save Adric. Without destroying time. With a sort of a "Trials and tribble-ations" style finale where the current Doc is CGIed into Earthshock. Maybe this explains where all the critters from Fathers Day have been every time the Doctor changes history. They've been guarding Adric. Laying in ambush so to speak. Hmm...
That actually sounds like a pretty cool idea, plus it would be a good way to do a more recent tie-in with the classic series, since they haven't really done one of those in awhile.
I would have put everytime he says he can change time at his will but whenever literally anyone else says they want to change time he says it’s “impossible”
1:25 Lol! Being left in Scotland is a fate I wouldn't wish on the Doctor's worst enemy! (just kidding... I'm actually rather fond of Scotland, but the way the narrator said it was funny)
The 4th Doctor dropping off Sarah Jane in Scotland played to the running gag that the Doctor didn’t know how to control where his Tardis was going. There’s some dialog with Leela where she accuses him of not knowing where they’re going and he settles on “5 times out of 10?”
Sarah Jane Smith has met 8 incarnations of the Doctor. 1 Hartnell and 2 Troughton (in the 3 Doctors), 3 Pertwee (3rd season of his run as the Doctor), 4 T. Baker (Beginning of his run as the Doctor), 5 Davison (The 5 Doctors), 11 Tennant (his first season as the Doctor w/ Rose), 12 Tennant (His last season w/ Donna), 13 Smith (in Sarah Jane Adventures). And yes Tennant as 11 1nd 12 incarnations do count as separate encounters as he regenerated, but dumped the excess energy into his severed hand.
She wasn't in The Three Doctors, she joined in Pertwee's fifth season. Still met the first* and second in The Five Doctors though! *as played by Richard Hurndall
What about "The Girl Who Waited", when the Doctor tricked Rory and both versions of Amy into thinking that he could find a way around the paradox of rescuing older Amy, and then he slammed the TARDIS doors shut on her and forced Rory to choose which version he wanted to save? That was an extremely dickish move, considering the Doctor himself was largely responsible for the older Amy existing in the first place. (Also, considering how callous and grumpy he could be at times, it's a bit surprising the 12th Doctor wasn't anywhere on this list. Tricking Clara into lying to Maisie in "Mummy on the Orient Express", or Bill with his false regeneration in "The Lie of the Land", maybe?)
Fact is The Doctor has never been an especially nice person. A good person with good morals and good intentions, absolutely, but there's difference between having all that and being nice
To be fair, that's how the Doctor usually defeats the Master. The people he's using very rarely know beforehand that they are just pawns in his schemes that he will then discard or destroy later when it suits. And they usually get pretty mad when they find out.
Jack had a big involvement with torchwood, this is why he has always been on the edge for jack but the doctor has always been a forgiving man as he quote says..😂
That scene was an interesting one, but I don't think it wasn't really her not caring. I think it mainly is the fact that 1), it's a human condition she can't really cure (which would make the show look bad to real cancer patients if she did) and 2) she never, as far as we know, had to deal with something like that on the TARDIS and I have learned in real-life that it's better to stay quiet or not say too much if you're not familiar enough with a subject.
I feel like people are being way too reactive to that. The Doctor’s an alien. In the episode she explained she’s “socially awkward” so she doesn’t know how to deal with that. There’s merit in trying to show that side of a character or a person. Sometimes people just don’t know what to say. Granted, the 13th Doctor has been warm, friendly, and kind to everyone, so her suddenly saying “I’m socially awkward and don’t know how to respond” is inconsistent with her character. But I’m pretty sure it’s the writers trying to play up the Doctor’s more alien side rather than the Doctor being a dick. And it’s not like the Doctor being socially awkward is unprecedented.
I took that scene differently. The Doctor wanted time to run a medical scan of Graham without him knowing. Much like how he did with Amy to see if she was pregnant.
@@Tim.Stotelmeyer Like I said before, and I think you agree, I think part of it has to do with them being unable to have the Doctor cure the cancer. It would be unfair to real cancer patients who can't get better from it.
@@pjgs4933 Yeah and even with humans if you're friend came up to you and said "oh i have cancer" i don't think anyone would know how to respond to that. I mean her line was really awkward in general but i think people are forgetting that the Doctor isn't human and is still an alien being at the end of the day
Number 1 is definitely deserved Jack would have to wait over 100 years to find the doctor again and It's tragic as well that if Jack didn't touch the Dalek dust and got up he would have likely entered the TARDIS before it materialised
I’ve been re-watching Dr. Who lately and am in the Martha Jones era right now. I had forgotten how much of a jerk the doctor was to her. Seriously! It’s a wonder she traveled with him as long as she did.
If this list was extended then I would add 8. Trying to leave Clara on Earth (The Time of The Doctor) 2. Kidnapping Ian and Barbara (The Unearthly Child)
The TARDIS fled from Captain Jack in Utopia, not the Doctor. Thats why it went to the end of the Universe, it was trying to get away from him. And according to the special between Parting of Ways and Christmas Invasion, he left Jack there to help clean up the mess.
Someone clearly did a quick google search for this 😂 A lot of its taken out of context: 7 was manipulative, but this was the start of huge ark where he was testing her or Sarah in Aberdeen was mistake as the Doctor always struggle to pilot and clearly didn't look back because it was too painful. Plus with Adric not the trip back to E-Space was really risky...
2:00 This was explained in the new run. The Doctor has very little control of the TARDIS. The TARDIS noise is because he doesn't know how to drive it properly. She should be glad he didn't leave her in Ireland.
In one of the episodes of "An Unearthly Child (or 10000 BC or whatever we're supposed to call it these days), The Doctor stands over the injured body of one of their party with a stone in his hand, apparently considering cold blooded murder so they aren't slowed down by this "burden".
5:20 Literally not true. While, yes, he does initially tell Adric he's not taking him home (he believed it to be far too dangerous), you have to remember the two were in a very heated argument. In episode 2, when they all calmed down, the Doctor tells him that if Adric can plat a satisfactory course, he'd be willing to give it a go. Adric spent almost the entirety of episode 1 plotting said course AFTER he said he wanted to go back home. The Doctor even asks Adric if he can study his notes, before Adric says he doesn't really want to go home. The Doctor then gives Adric his notes back.
honestly if their genders were reversed, everyone would've called Martha an incel. and I know it, because basically such a thing did happen in another movie which I watched and yet in there, everyone treats the female character like a victim and in here the doctor is guilty
I have to disagree with your reasoning of Tenth's reason for trying to ignore Jack. It's not that The Doctor felt the situation was "confusing", it's that he could see that Jack was an anomaly. You have to remember that The Doctor, as a Gallifreyan, doesn't see time in the linear sense like we do. He can see every moment of a being's life and death all at once. If something isn't right in the sense of time, such as Jack's immortality, it's something that wrong with everything he knows... and that's a terrifying and horrific thing for him... and he knows there's nothing he can do to help Jack... It's like if you looked at someone and you could sense there was something off about them... like smelling the colours of them, and tasting the sounds they make. Something so comprehensible to our limited view on things. You really can't blame him for not wanting to be around someone like that. It's not like he could even talk to any companions about it either, as it's not something they can perceive... so he has to bottle it up, and could only talk to Jack about it.
I agree on the facts of the situation, but it's still no excuse for leaving him behind. If nothing else, he could stifle those feelings long enough to bring Jack back home. It's like actively avoiding someone with a genetic disorder because they're ugly. We wouldn't consider that behaviour justified, even if it's a natural reaction from internalizing contradicting image standards all your life. Besides, the Doctor exalts difference: who if not they could be expected to find beauty in the temporally "ugly"? They'd probably roll with a person with an aura of synesthesia too, at least if they were being written well.
@@AstraIVagabond Don't get me wrong... I don't agree with The Doctor's actions on the situation at all, and do agree with what you're pointing out. I was just stating that they had a flawed argument as to why The Doctor did it. If his reasoning is as you describe, it's a pretty bigoted reason for not helping Jack... but like other examples, it shows that even Time Lords aren't perfect beings, no matter what they say about it. They're still as flawed as any human is... they just live longer than we do.

To be fair, at least the Fourth Doctor didn't leave Sarah Jane on a wrong planet.
The Fourth Doctor was not allowed to bring Sarah with him to Gallifrey as humans and other alien life forms were forbidden on Gallifrey.
@@danielwilliamson6180 unless they have explosives.
I see the same time and landmass pretty good for a quick stop.
That would've been hilarious 😂
Or in some forest on Earth with a tribe of Barbarians, at least he didn't take her to the wrong time.
The Family of blood story is also a good one. He deliberately led the aliens to a small quiet English village, knowing he was putting it at risk in order to hide.
At the end the woman his human form falls in love with says "If the Doctor hadn't chosen to come here, would so many people have died?"
Fucking brilliant. Although I guess he does somewhat redeem himself by saving the 2 boys by warning one of them of their deaths at the First World War, leading to one of the greatest ending to a TV episode I have ever seen.
The Doctor is indirectly responsible for the deaths of the 4 innocent (well, 3 and a little shit) people who are taken over, plus the people they end up killing themselves. I was happy to see Jessica Hynes character call him out on it. Agreed that it's one of the best Who episodes out there (only complaint being Father of Mine's actor being criminally underused).
Thats why he's the best doctor
DanteCorwyn A little shit...😂😂😂
Yes! He could very easly isolate himself in a abandoned planet or place. The truth is that the Doctor wanted to "be kind" and sacrifice for it, but not enough to isolate himself alone in an inhospitable place.
@@DanteCorwyn or maybe you just forgot those people were already dead at that point
The Time Lord Victorious is actually part of the reason I love Tennant's portrayal. It shows just how fallible he is, it shows how far he'll go to stand tall in the face of grief to feel some control over the fact that every where he goes he faces significant casualty rates.
This title fills me with joy
And the thumbnail
Ew
The doctor is never a d*ck
@@malachihearn7437 yeah and he couldn't NOT invite his companions to his death because they TOLD him they were there making it a FIXED point
In the very first episode"An Unearthly Child" The 1st Doctor practically kidnaps Ian and Barbara by Starting the TARDIS while they are still inside so they can't tell anyone about him or the TARDIS. Even though no one would of probably believed them and The Doctor and Susan could of easily located to a different country, time, planet etc. Kidnapping two people is generally a very dick move.
And he tries to kill that caveman with a rock
The first doctor's character was always a bit of a dick and his whole character arc was that he starts to become more friendlier. I am not defendinghis actions but just saying that the doctor started of as a person who is hard to deal with. And the TARDIS on the other hand didn't properly obey the doctor until after the episode The Three Doctors.
The First Doctor was definitely a bit rough around the edges sometimes. Though, granted, this was before The Doctor's more famous goofy, charming, half-serious half-the-time personality really set in.
yes but you must also remember they barged into what is essentialy his home, scoffed at everything he said, there was a genuine fear they would go to authorities (and he IS an alien)
@@julieeverett7442 yeah he wasn't entirely in the wrong to be afraid and essential kidnap them for his safety, he still had little idea what humans were properly like and how everything on earth worked. So being in a foreign place with foreign people threatening to get the authorities of which you don't know what will do it's not unreasonable to instead kidnap and keep quiet instead of let go and have them tattle

@@LoverOfBellies Okay, there's no need for such language. It's been some time since I saw that episode, I mainly remembered Clara's tantrum at the end.
@@marcoludema8876 Arguably one of the worst episodes ever of new Doctor Who... I vaguely remember what happened in it, I have all seasons of new Who, and that episode is an easy pass to the point that even though I have watched every episode of the first three new who doctors at least 5 times, there are a couple of Capaldi episodes that I have zero desire to repeat, and have never re-watched, this along with pretty much anything featuring Clara's boyfriend, the episode with the monster under the bed, etc or Billie and her going to live in a haunted house, are just crap I can't rewatch. (btw... I love Billie, but she got a couple of piss poor episodes)
The moon is an egg guyzzz!!
Who wouldnt want to leave clara behind though lmao
Always gives me chills to think that if the doctor didn't take the fluid link and go into the dalek city with susan and the gang, the daleks wouldn't have gained knowledge of the larger scope of the universe and would have remained on Skaro. Later stories I do think contradict this point and the daleks exploring the universe was inevitable, but I think it would make the doctor dalek relationship more fascinating I feel if it were true.
Martha is underappreciated both by the Doctor and the Fandom. I would love to see her join in an adventure with 13, who I think would actually show her some appreciation.
Read the most recent 13 doctor titan comics then.
Her only character was too be infatuated by the doctor and if they showed her being a doctor and being smart maybe would of been more likeable but that’s just me, she just didn’t gel or feel like a decent companion the first episode of season 3 was really good but went down hill from there in rose’s shadow but my opinion.
I gotta admit, I feel like elevens childishness was him running away from the grief and darkness that encompassed nine and ten
Haven't seen the video. Just bloody love the title ☺ Make it even more British "10 Times The Doctor Was A Proper Knobhead" 😂
The 10th Doctor wasn't just "a bit" of a dick in Human Nature/Family of Blood, he was a massive one as not only did he offer Redfern to travel with him after he basically killed his human avatar (no idea what word to actually use) and also didn't bother to think about the consequences of being forced to live for several months with Martha in early 20th century Britain while having a) no knowledge of who he was and b) the standard societal views of the time.
It's also really his fault that everyone died did die because he could have just killed the family of love and been done with it.
Shivam Bajpai autocorrects
Oh well family of love sounds more wholesome they were just misunderstood scarecrows
I mean it really is the classic cautionary tale about the road to hell.
@@rowanclarke5703 true, it's he Batman predicament. If he kills the villain, SJW's lose their minds no matter how many people die as a result.
6:33 It was horrible for Amy and Rory to carry that burden. River knew what had happened. She had to carry the burden of seeing her parents suffer without being allowed to reach out to them. And when it all had been resolved, the Doctor still wasn't ready to let her tell them that he was alive.
Only made worse by the fact the he just randomly showed up one day like he hadn't been "dead" for years.
The Doctor doesn't ignore Martha. Quite the opposite. He does, in fact, compliment her regularly. Like:
“Very good point. Brilliant, in fact. What was your name?” (Smith and Jones)
“Oh. Oh, Martha Jones, I like you.” (Shakespeare Code)
“Oh, Martha Jones, you’re a star.” (Lazarus Experiment)
“Thank you.” (42)
“Thanks for looking after me.” (Family of Blood)
“Thank you. Martha Jones, you saved the world.” (Last of the Time Lords)
-----------
"No matter how hard Martha tried, she couldn't get the doctor to truly notice her."
Thing is, Martha never understood from the beginning that the Doctor was never going to develop romantic feelings for her like he did with Rose. You can tell from the fact that right after he made that clear, she teased him about the genetic transfer (from when he kissed her to distract the Judoon). The Doctor told her from the start that they would never be together romantically, and Martha chose to believe she could change his mind, probably because she interpreted the situation as the Doctor getting over a breakup and figured he just needed time to get over Rose.
Martha had a difficult go of it. She got in the TARDIS with a man grieving for his lost love, and she didn’t realize the full truth of that until nearly the end of her travels. Her unrequited feelings suck for her, and it also sucks that the writers made almost every one of Martha's major character moments be about the fact that the Doctor didn’t love her back. When Martha is so much more than the girl who pined for the Doctor. She is clever and badass and a caring friend. They should have focused on those things more.
Admittedly, I do understand enough about intersectional feminism to get that a black woman playing the love interest is actually a breakthrough. Women of color are not often shown as objects of romance in media. They have to be the strong female friend instead. But. Martha was not written as a love interest. For her to be the romantic partner, her feelings would have to be returned by the lead character, and they were not.
None of Martha’s struggles that stemmed directly from her feelings for the Doctor are his fault. I'll digress that perhaps, when he realized that against his warning she had developed feelings for him, he should have sat her down and talked to her. But he did warn her off from the start, so I don’t know how it can be said that he did not do enough in that regard.
Hell, Martha herself doesn’t blame the Doctor for her feelings or for not returning them. In her speech before leaving, she doesn’t say, “You made me feel second best.” She says she spent a lot of time thinking she was second best. She takes ownership of that thought. And after explaining the parallel situation with her friend, she doesn’t accuse him of never seeing her like that. She doesn’t say it like he did anything wrong. She just says that she needs to get out.
Karen Page couldn’t have said it better myself, she was constantly in rose’s shadow and she wanted the doctor to notice in a romantic way not a friend way. I will say the doctor was giving her mixed signals throughout but I don’t think they wrote her very well. If they wrote her as more as a doctor and more independent/ sassy might have liked her better. Too much infatuation from her side it was a little annoying to say the least.
Leaving Jack behind was just a classic get-the-competition-out-of-the-way move.
In the 2005 Children in Need Special (the one where Rose took time away from grieving and fearing for The Doctor to bleach her hair) it's explained that The Doctor left Jack behind because he had to rebuild the Earth at that point. The Doctor could have explained this of course and on the surface, yes it was a bit of a dickish thing to do but it was perhaps necessary.
Also, I'd argue his treatment of Mickey was actually worse than his treatment of Martha, at least with Martha, you could put it down to emotional irrationality after losing Rose. The Doctor was just horrible to Mickey for literally no reason.
Honourable mentions should be; The Doctor brushing Graham off when he tried to talk to her about his cancer, The Doctor selfishly trying to stop Amy from being zapped back in time to live out her days with her husband and The Doctor taking Ian and Barbara against their will.
Would Jack have interfered with the Doctor rebuilding Earth? He has a machine that travels through time and space, he can't be in a hurry, and he took Rose with him, so why didn't he take Jack too? He simply didn't want to deal with him and left him behind. I don't think there is any excuse.
@@catalinavaldivia3730 It is said he bacame a temporal paradox that would threaten the TARDIS when he became immortal by the Bad Wolf's power.
Ah, but just because he was a timelord doesn't mean he couldn't be jealous and hiding it with dickish behavior! 9 and then 10 talked down to Mickey and treated him like a pest because he was Rose's boyfriend...at least at the start. Made sense to me. Had to make him the third wheel/tin dog.
But I love Mickey's character arc. If he'd never met the Doctor (and thus Ricky) he wouldn't have turned into such a hero.
It is exampled why he left Jack behind in Utopia. Jack has become immortal and the Doctor says that because he is a fixed point in time, the Tardis tried to rejected him, although that was undone at the end of series 4
Undone?
@Alex read the comment properly, I said The Doctor explains why he left him at the end of Parting of the Ways and it is explained why The Doctor left him behind in Utopia. I stated that in the first sentence of my comment.
@@alphamineron The Doctor accepts Jack for what he is at the end of The Last of Timelords, and wants Jack to travel with him and is rushed and skipped over in the episode actually!
@Alex that is because I wrote it in another language and it hasn't translated well! I am typing this one in English, I see what you mean though about the comment.
Joel Brown it’s not really acceptance Of what he is it’s more tolerating. Because it’s not a prejudicial thing it’s an evolutionary thing. Making him not easy to be around for the doctor as well as the tardis. But they know when they need his help so they tolerate him in Small intervals.
Theirs also the possibility of the whole face of boe thing Which could mean that his existence as a Linear fact changes as he evolves into the talking head.

No, he says that he is "busy", rebuilding the Earth. Of Course is Just a excuse.
@@Matheus21video my mistake 😂 I knew it was something like that
There was an episode with The Family, in the early (20th century, when the Doctor initially concealed himself in the guise of a teacher in a school. For one thing, Martha is stuck working as a maid in a backwards era. At the end, he eventually turns on the Family, inflicting some pretty nasty fates upon all of them.
Oh, come on:
10. He had just regenerated. I would've forgiven him for that. Besides, Colin Baker hadn't been treated all that well by the BBC.
9. When Sarah Jane later told him about what he'd done, he did ask if Aberdeen was next to Croydon. And maybe he may have been in somewhat of a hurry.
8. Considering how rubbish 13 was, I'm not really sure I can defend her all that much.
7. I admit that the 7th Doctor had become quite manipulative, but he was just trying to get Ace to face her fears.
6. He spoke about Rose a few times and he did state that he did like Martha when she when he were in the Globe Theatre and decided to expand their "one trip" with one in the past and one in the future and saved her life in 42. He also thanked her for looking after him in The Family of Blood.
5. The 5th Doctor openly stated that if he tried to return Adric home, it could've been dangerous. But after Tegan convinced him, the Doctor decided to at least look at the coordinates Adric had calculated. And after Adric helped the Doctor stopped the Cybermen from destroying Earth with that bomb, the two made things right with each other and the Doctor offered to take Adric home if he wanted to (though Adric did state - as you said - that he didn't really wanted to leave).
4. Well it was a fixed point in time.
3. He'd just been pushed quite a bit too far. And he didn't stay like that forever.
2. Although manipulating his companions may have been not a such good move back then, at least he confessed to what he'd done and helped free the Thals from the Daleks.
1. He did tell Jack that he had become a fixed point in time and that he wasn't sure he could stand him and that the T.A.R.D.I.S. wasn't all that fond of Jack (although he later offered Jack to travel with him).
Also, maybe the way he treated Mickey might not have been called for, but Mickey was somewhat of a nervous wreck back then and later gained some respect from the Doctor.
The biggest Doctor being a dick moment for me:
In _The End of Time,_ his narcissistic rant telling the trapped Wilf how unimportant his life was while whining about his _own_ life being so much more valuable. I hated Tennant's Doctor in that scene. Nine didn't whine and have a tantrum when Rose was burning up as Bad Wolf, he just went ahead and made her safe _knowing_ that it would kill him. It really disgusted me to hear Ten talking to Wilf like he was worthless, and was the complete opposite of the Doctor's normal attitude that _everyone_ is important. I know that, after he'd stopped his self-important crying, he mellowed and told Wilf it would be his honour, but that's not good enough.
As Eleven once said, Ten had a narcism problem
I don't remember Ten, telling Wilf he is less important then him. Hope that's some kind of miss understanding.
@@arendellecitizen208 Before he finally decides to enter the chamber and free Wilf:
WILF: Look, just leave me.
DOCTOR: Okay, right then, I will. Because you had to go in there, didn't you? You had to go and get stuck, oh yes. Because that's who you are, Wilfred. You were always this. Waiting for me all this time.
WILF: No really, just leave me. I'm an old man, Doctor. I've had my time.
DOCTOR: *Well, exactly. Look at you. Not remotely important. But me? I could do so much more.* So much more! But this is what I get. My reward. And it's not fair!
Petulant narcissism at it's finest, no misunderstanding here.
I always thought it was just cause he was in pain in the end of time
Its not the fact he did it that was my issue, its that he's never properly called out on it. That was a recurring problem I had with 10 (and Rose, for that matter). They're flawed characters but the show rarely acknowledges it, rather portraying them as though they are a paragon. Waters of Mars was a great story for actually calling 10 out on his shit, and its why Donna was a great companion,too.
Abandoning Clara in Deep Breath surrounded by killer robots just to save his own skin, should have been #1.
In fact season 8 had quite a number of moments.
He didn’t abandon her though he was in the same room the entire time. Thought if the villain had killed her instead of questioning her like the bad guys always do then it would have been a bit awkward
As a sort of sequal to this list how about 10 times the doctor was the bad guy

13 shrugging of Graham's cancer is probably the most out of character, out of place, and deformation to the doctor's character I have ever seen in new who. Thanks chibnall
It was not really shrugging off:/
How it makes sense
There is a small touch to that scene that I see. Maybe its just me playing devils advocate. She is clearly shown time and again to be socially awkward which the doctor has been before but also aware of how socially awkward she really is which the doctor hasn't really ever been. As such, she would know that just saying the first thing that came to mind would likely do more harm than good (a mistake I make repeatedly). So taking a minute to find the right words is a kindness and admitting that is what she is doing tells Graham that she does care and that she doesn't want to say the wrong thing.
It’s inconsistent with the 13th Doctor’s character for sure. But it wasn’t the Doctor being a jerk. The Doctor is an alien who often doesn’t relate to humans well. As out of character as that was for the 13th Doctor, that scene reminds us of that.
I feel like that’s a scene that would have worked with Capaldi’s Doctor in series 8, cuz that’s a lot more like his characterization
Watch what she does thou. She touches several TARDIS controls. I am betting that she is running a medical scan of Graham.
every time i think about how ten treated jack i get super mad lmao
"10 times the Doctor was actually a bit of a dick."
*Gestures vaguely towards the 6th Doctor*
1:50 that green screen didn’t age well 😂
Didn’t they litterally say the doctors death was a fixed point and couldn’t be changed and them not being there would mean a change because his future self already “died” even the doctor thought he was going to die until the moment the plan clicked into place
Don't forget that time the Doctor weaponised the Master's race in Nazi Germany, and it's treated as a "lol, gotcha" moment.
This.
This is definitely not talked about enough
Yes, that happened in the sjw propaganda show... Maybe I'm not following their reasoning
@@tlsmith7585 Can we not. Just because Chibnall is a crap writer doesn't make him an SJW. In fact, if he really was one, he'd have written the Doctor as something more than a whiny brat and given the POC companions more to do than just give exposition now and again. Let's not mistake politics for bad writing.
@@eshbena that was a sarcastic comment.
Not only did he strangle Peri, but he didn't go back and save her once the trial was over. The Timelords told him that she was rescued, but he didn't at least pop in to check in on her after she'd gone through quite an ordeal, and that's assuming we believe the TImelords. So it's entirely possible that he left her to die. Apparently there is a Big Finish audio that clarifies this, but I've not heard it so I can't say for sure. However, given that The Doctor can travel back in time, unless a companions death is somehow a fixed point in time, it's rather bizarre that they've had any companions actually stay dead. They could have saved Adric or any of the others that have died on their watch, even Ryan's nan.
I mean when the doctor sabotaged the TARDIS it was probably the biggest backfire in the history of television.
Your channel is the reason I slipped back into my doctor who faze
And it’s a good thing

DrakeAurum Good point. Never read the New adventures novels.

@@danthemeegs8751 yh 12 was a massive dick to Danny. He was a complete dick throughout the entire eppisode of into the dalek and kill the moon. What he did in kill the moon was probably one of his biggest dick moments. Don't get me wrong. Still my favourite doctor. Women just love a bastard 🤣
@@k.stewart007 told ya I'd forget some! xD
Haven't seen 6 nor 12
They really should bring back Ace. The actress was on tv when they announced the 12th Doctor. I would hope the character survived on Gallifrey. I wouldn't mind the Time Lord's sending her to stop The Doctor as that is something they would do and she would be a much better weapon against The Doctor than anything else the Time Lords have tried.
10 getting rid of Harriet Jones, and leading the Family of Blood to a place where they end up killing a bunch of innocent people are noteworthy. The bit with Tim Shaw, the Doctor shouts "You've got no right to do that!" at a guy who kicked Shaw off a crane after being hunted by him also counts. Idea for a future video, 10 Times The Doctor Was Actually An Utter Dick.
I was hoping 10 and Harriet Jones would be on here, or at least mentioned in the comments, so thank you!!
Well, both Harriet Jones and the Doctor weren't exactly wrong in their beliefs.
Jones was made painfully aware that she can't always rely on the Doctor.
But at the same time, the Doctor probably thought at the time that anyone who thinks violence is the solution shouldn't be in a position of power. And so he ruined her without resorting to violence.
But as for the Family of Blood, they wanted to become immortal and the Doctor gave them exactly what they wanted.
"Be careful what you wish for" and all that jazz. >:D
Didn't 13th say, "You had no right to do that."?
@@dawnwayfinder Not only that but Harriet is playing a very dangerous game. How does she know that killing those guys as they fled might not cause further aggression from a species who previously mostly ignored them but now considered them a threat? The people who defend Harriet's actions fail to acknowledge that killing them is potentially as dangerous, if not moreso, than keeping them alive.
He wasn't a dick with the Harriet Jones thing though, also in what way did he lead the Family of Blood anywhere?! He tortured/killed them at the end so they were no more lol
Series 3. That’s it.
Yup.
To be fair, you can see the look of regret on the doctor's face when Adric dies. He was most likely thinking something on the lines of "What have I done? I should have brought him home!"
Can’t tell you how many times I’ve watched doctor who videos lately and strangling peri always crops up 😂
Surprised 12's not on this list
And then there's 13 getting mad at Ryan for pushing Tim-Shaw off the crane when he was already dying from the genetic bombs that she uno reversed back on him
Or that time she preferred to let a spider suffocate to death in slow agony instead of allowing a guy to put it out of its misery
I don't blame theDoctor for Timelord Victorius. I blame Addelaide who begged and cajoled the Doctor to do some thing to save them. So he did he only thing he was left able to do, bring them home to Earth. She pushed him into it from the first moment they understood what their futurewouldbe as told to them by the Doctor. How many time did he say I can't help you. I can't change what will happen. Its a fixed point in time. And still she demands he change their deaths, so he does and then she pouts and commits suicide because one of the three rescue-es doesn't understand and can't handle Interdiimentional transindentialism and time travel.
FOR REAL! Why pressure the man to save you then get pissed of and say "YoU cAnT cHaNgE hIsToRy!" when he does just that!
yeah, and he already had saved a family that weren't supposed to be saved, thanks to Donna! and no one complains about her
What about the 12th Doctor buggering off and abandoning everyone in "Kill The Moon"? Granted, I wouldn't wanna be around Clara either, but to just swan off and leave everyone like that? That's just low.
Another one lol; he explained in the episode that he felt he couldn't/shouldn't get involved so left it to the humans to decide what happens to the moon
The Doctor could not interfere as it was Time Lord policy and there are points in human history that The Doctor cannot change and The Doctor knows when to back off and that he must let the humans decide. The Fourth Doctor decided not to choose a leader for the Saveteem and the Tesh on Leela's planet because that wasn't for him to say.
@@LoverOfBellies sure but there was a teenage girl there. He should have gotten her to safety. Clara and the astronaut were adults and esp Clara had signed up for it but the kid? No. Not okay in my eyes.

This is part of the reason that Davros was right when he revealed The Doctors' soul in Journey's End.

6:14 Actually, River already knew as the astronaut was her past self.
You forgot about the episode "kill the moon"
You know what would make an awesome series of Who episodes is if some complex contrivance forced the doctor, against his better judgement, to find a way to save Adric. Without destroying time. With a sort of a "Trials and tribble-ations" style finale where the current Doc is CGIed into Earthshock. Maybe this explains where all the critters from Fathers Day have been every time the Doctor changes history. They've been guarding Adric. Laying in ambush so to speak. Hmm...
That actually sounds like a pretty cool idea, plus it would be a good way to do a more recent tie-in with the classic series, since they haven't really done one of those in awhile.
I would have put everytime he says he can change time at his will but whenever literally anyone else says they want to change time he says it’s “impossible”
tbf river did already know what was gonna happen, and she knew he was actually alive
1:25 Lol! Being left in Scotland is a fate I wouldn't wish on the Doctor's worst enemy!
(just kidding... I'm actually rather fond of Scotland, but the way the narrator said it was funny)
The 4th Doctor dropping off Sarah Jane in Scotland played to the running gag that the Doctor didn’t know how to control where his Tardis was going. There’s some dialog with Leela where she accuses him of not knowing where they’re going and he settles on “5 times out of 10?”
Sarah Jane Smith has met 8 incarnations of the Doctor. 1 Hartnell and 2 Troughton (in the 3 Doctors), 3 Pertwee (3rd season of his run as the Doctor), 4 T. Baker (Beginning of his run as the Doctor), 5 Davison (The 5 Doctors), 11 Tennant (his first season as the Doctor w/ Rose), 12 Tennant (His last season w/ Donna), 13 Smith (in Sarah Jane Adventures). And yes Tennant as 11 1nd 12 incarnations do count as separate encounters as he regenerated, but dumped the excess energy into his severed hand.
She wasn't in The Three Doctors, she joined in Pertwee's fifth season. Still met the first* and second in The Five Doctors though!
*as played by Richard Hurndall
What about "The Girl Who Waited", when the Doctor tricked Rory and both versions of Amy into thinking that he could find a way around the paradox of rescuing older Amy, and then he slammed the TARDIS doors shut on her and forced Rory to choose which version he wanted to save? That was an extremely dickish move, considering the Doctor himself was largely responsible for the older Amy existing in the first place. (Also, considering how callous and grumpy he could be at times, it's a bit surprising the 12th Doctor wasn't anywhere on this list. Tricking Clara into lying to Maisie in "Mummy on the Orient Express", or Bill with his false regeneration in "The Lie of the Land", maybe?)
Fact is The Doctor has never been an especially nice person. A good person with good morals and good intentions, absolutely, but there's difference between having all that and being nice
The thirteenth doctor was really horrible when she just left her companions on earth with no way of contacting them
13 using the masters race against him
To be fair, that's how the Doctor usually defeats the Master. The people he's using very rarely know beforehand that they are just pawns in his schemes that he will then discard or destroy later when it suits. And they usually get pretty mad when they find out.
Oh didn’t expect to see that as a title 😂
Hitler: I killed half a race
Doctor: Same. Then I didn't
Oh and the Daleks too
The doctor: I killed an entire race and most of a second. Then I didn't
Something tells me the Valeyard will come about from the Doctor not having a companion for a very very extended period of time
Jack had a big involvement with torchwood, this is why he has always been on the edge for jack but the doctor has always been a forgiving man as he quote says..😂
You missed when Whittaker told Graham she didn't care his cancer could be back
That scene was an interesting one, but I don't think it wasn't really her not caring. I think it mainly is the fact that 1), it's a human condition she can't really cure (which would make the show look bad to real cancer patients if she did) and 2) she never, as far as we know, had to deal with something like that on the TARDIS and I have learned in real-life that it's better to stay quiet or not say too much if you're not familiar enough with a subject.
I feel like people are being way too reactive to that. The Doctor’s an alien. In the episode she explained she’s “socially awkward” so she doesn’t know how to deal with that. There’s merit in trying to show that side of a character or a person. Sometimes people just don’t know what to say.
Granted, the 13th Doctor has been warm, friendly, and kind to everyone, so her suddenly saying “I’m socially awkward and don’t know how to respond” is inconsistent with her character. But I’m pretty sure it’s the writers trying to play up the Doctor’s more alien side rather than the Doctor being a dick. And it’s not like the Doctor being socially awkward is unprecedented.
I took that scene differently. The Doctor wanted time to run a medical scan of Graham without him knowing. Much like how he did with Amy to see if she was pregnant.
@@Tim.Stotelmeyer Like I said before, and I think you agree, I think part of it has to do with them being unable to have the Doctor cure the cancer. It would be unfair to real cancer patients who can't get better from it.
@@pjgs4933 Yeah and even with humans if you're friend came up to you and said "oh i have cancer" i don't think anyone would know how to respond to that. I mean her line was really awkward in general but i think people are forgetting that the Doctor isn't human and is still an alien being at the end of the day
"He (The Doctor) left sarah jane in Scotland" Not Scotland!? How awful. Have some mercy Doctor. Anywhere but Scotland.
Number 1 is definitely deserved Jack would have to wait over 100 years to find the doctor again and It's tragic as well that if Jack didn't touch the Dalek dust and got up he would have likely entered the TARDIS before it materialised
7:13 though she was the one begging him to help them when he said he couldn’t but changed her mind when she was rescued
I’ve been re-watching Dr. Who lately and am in the Martha Jones era right now. I had forgotten how much of a jerk the doctor was to her. Seriously! It’s a wonder she traveled with him as long as she did.
He was sometimes, but then again sometimes if you aren't, nobody around you learns anything.
If this list was extended then I would add
8. Trying to leave Clara on Earth (The Time of The Doctor)
2. Kidnapping Ian and Barbara (The Unearthly Child)
Fun video, thanks! 😊
The TARDIS fled from Captain Jack in Utopia, not the Doctor. Thats why it went to the end of the Universe, it was trying to get away from him. And according to the special between Parting of Ways and Christmas Invasion, he left Jack there to help clean up the mess.
Someone clearly did a quick google search for this 😂 A lot of its taken out of context: 7 was manipulative, but this was the start of huge ark where he was testing her or Sarah in Aberdeen was mistake as the Doctor always struggle to pilot and clearly didn't look back because it was too painful. Plus with Adric not the trip back to E-Space was really risky...
2:00 This was explained in the new run. The Doctor has very little control of the TARDIS. The TARDIS noise is because he doesn't know how to drive it properly. She should be glad he didn't leave her in Ireland.
i always thought the way the doctor treated mickey was very uncalled for
You could make a separate list for each doctor on this topic. It's the character trait guaranteed to cross over between them.
I enjoy the darker storylines with moral dilemmas, like the time lord victorious scene
Six strangling Peri marks when my mother and I stopped watching new Doctor Who episodes. We started watching new ones again with Christopher Eccleston
The 6th doctor was actually so uptight but I still like him..
Most of the 6th Doctor's era
2:03 That was probably a goof because we all know the Tardis known for landing in the wrong place.
I quite like nine (other than leaving jack) ten is okay but i think he treats jack even worse than nine.
In one of the episodes of "An Unearthly Child (or 10000 BC or whatever we're supposed to call it these days), The Doctor stands over the injured body of one of their party with a stone in his hand, apparently considering cold blooded murder so they aren't slowed down by this "burden".
5:20
Literally not true.
While, yes, he does initially tell Adric he's not taking him home (he believed it to be far too dangerous), you have to remember the two were in a very heated argument. In episode 2, when they all calmed down, the Doctor tells him that if Adric can plat a satisfactory course, he'd be willing to give it a go. Adric spent almost the entirety of episode 1 plotting said course AFTER he said he wanted to go back home. The Doctor even asks Adric if he can study his notes, before Adric says he doesn't really want to go home. The Doctor then gives Adric his notes back.
He didn't kick Rose out of the TARDIS after she altered the fabric of time, by saving her father. An act that led too people dying
I’m surprised the first doctor attempting to batter someone with a rock wasn’t anywhere on this list
In your own , relatively short lifetime , how many times have you been a schmuck ? Now imagine being as old as The Doctor ... the defense rests
And then there are all the times the 3rd Doctor tried to take off and leave UNIT to fight on without him.
Ten didn't treat Martha poorly. Its not his fault he didn't reciprocate.
honestly if their genders were reversed, everyone would've called Martha an incel. and I know it, because basically such a thing did happen in another movie which I watched and yet in there, everyone treats the female character like a victim and in here the doctor is guilty
I have to disagree with your reasoning of Tenth's reason for trying to ignore Jack. It's not that The Doctor felt the situation was "confusing", it's that he could see that Jack was an anomaly. You have to remember that The Doctor, as a Gallifreyan, doesn't see time in the linear sense like we do. He can see every moment of a being's life and death all at once. If something isn't right in the sense of time, such as Jack's immortality, it's something that wrong with everything he knows... and that's a terrifying and horrific thing for him... and he knows there's nothing he can do to help Jack...
It's like if you looked at someone and you could sense there was something off about them... like smelling the colours of them, and tasting the sounds they make. Something so comprehensible to our limited view on things.
You really can't blame him for not wanting to be around someone like that. It's not like he could even talk to any companions about it either, as it's not something they can perceive... so he has to bottle it up, and could only talk to Jack about it.
I agree on the facts of the situation, but it's still no excuse for leaving him behind. If nothing else, he could stifle those feelings long enough to bring Jack back home. It's like actively avoiding someone with a genetic disorder because they're ugly. We wouldn't consider that behaviour justified, even if it's a natural reaction from internalizing contradicting image standards all your life.
Besides, the Doctor exalts difference: who if not they could be expected to find beauty in the temporally "ugly"? They'd probably roll with a person with an aura of synesthesia too, at least if they were being written well.
@@AstraIVagabond Don't get me wrong... I don't agree with The Doctor's actions on the situation at all, and do agree with what you're pointing out. I was just stating that they had a flawed argument as to why The Doctor did it.
If his reasoning is as you describe, it's a pretty bigoted reason for not helping Jack... but like other examples, it shows that even Time Lords aren't perfect beings, no matter what they say about it. They're still as flawed as any human is... they just live longer than we do.
