[QUOTE="evildmguy, post: 4177906, member: 6092"] This is mostly from memory. The first Doctor barely cared about Ian and Barbara, much less others. He gladly let people die, in Romans, Aztecs, Daleks, although he tried to do good overall. The second Doctor was better about it, overall, but it's tough to say as I have only read his adventures and it's been decades. The third Doctor did it a lot. He cared about Benson, Yates and the Brigadier but the average soldier he barely went out of his way to save. The fourth Doctor also did it a lot. In Genesis of the Daleks, the mission was more important than many Thals and he sacrificed many for it, even many Kaleds. Key to Time saw many people die and the Doctor didn't do much to stop it. In Deadly Assassin, he picked up a gun and was ready to kill! The fifth Doctor tried to do more. I think he was probably the most compassionate, because it was a big deal when he picked up a gun and faced Davros. However, even then he couldn't do cold blooded murder. And he still let people die in the fight against evil. The sixth Doctor also let it happen, although he was shown as compassionate, especially shown with Litton. However, I think he was shown to be more directly callous than previous versions, except his companions. etc. I am not saying the Doctor isn't on the side of life. I am not saying he doesn't do good. I am saying that perhaps he is more LG than we think. In that, I think he understands that sometimes people die when fighting evil. Look at how many the ninth doctor sacrificed, and even lied to them, when fighting the Daleks! I just think he knows that death happens and he tries to balance the equation in favor of life, as we saw last episode. Of course, it could just be me. edg [/QUOTE]
