[QUOTE]Originally posted by AndrewR: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Mark Nguyen: [qb] The Doctor is fundamentally human in temperment, no matter the incarnation. Recently, it's been getting to the point that even the audience knows the Doctor is invulnerable, and it thus removes any point of danger or jeopardy from the show. I mean, the Doctor just isn't AFRAID like he used to be, you know? I beleive that RTD is far too invested in his creation to objectively write him. Mark [/qb][/QUOTE]Is it possible that they've written him like that for a reason... sort of?? I remarked above on the comment made by The Doctor in TVOTD where he said "That's me - unsinkable!" Is he tempting fate saying such a thing... like the people who claimed that the Titanic, itself was unsinkable? Maybe it is an allusion to what might be ahead of him?? Like he and Rose being told off by Queen Victoria in the Were-wolf episode... their actions came back to bight them in the arse, when Queen Victoria made them enemies of the British Empire, saying that had such power but acted so... carelessly. Having said that as well, though - he HAS lost a lot too... The Time War destroyed his race and his home planet, he lost Rose to another dimension and he's continually in the presence of death... look how overjoyed in "The Doctor Dances" from season 1 he was because he had a day free, with no one dying! So maybe he does consider himself 'unsinkable'. Let's hope that the writers don't think this - otherwise, yes it makes him a very one-dimensional character doesn't it? Let's hope the writers take note of such things. Keep on writing him as a 'powerful' yet ultimately 'vulnerable' figure. Having said all this though, it might be that he was just written like that in the Christmas special... he has been 'vulnerable' in season 3: When was converted to a human, when he 'lost' Martha in "Gridlock" also where he finally opened up about Gallifrey etc. also when he realised that Professor Yana was actually the Master in the last part of "Utopia".
