    Given the context, it was extremely alarming and disturbing, to watch
    the Doctor confront Kid and immediately begin to torture him in a
    display of heartlessness that is never fully explained (in the lead-up
    or fallout).

    Belinda, who shows far more sympathy for this race’s plight, manages to >stop him from going all the way, and he only justifies his behaviour by >saying that he was blinded by his rage given the slaughter of the Time
    Lords.

    No offence, but this is something the Doctor has grappled with since the >start of the reboot (not to mention dedicating an entire regeneration
    for healing in therapy) and has only been driven to this level of
    cruelty by his mortal enemy, the Daleks.

    What’s more, even when the Doctor discovers the full context of Kid’s >violent actions, he shows no interest in appealing to any good left
    within him or helping his race.

    Just sends him to prison without a second glance. Despite the good
    intentions of the episode, the episode ultimately felt like it bit off
    more than it could chew.

    It’s a horrid move for this Doctor’s characterisation, who has shown
    more kindness to literal racists. Even Lucky Day conspiracy theorist
    Conrad (Jonah Hauer-King) got away with a bit of a scolding.>>


    RTD must go and get a fresh showruuner and not Mark Gatiss!
