Because of Doctor Who

I read your thoughts on the episode last night, and I mostly agree, it did seem like just an episode. But with that said, it showed us a little of the Doctor’s character, he’s a war criminal himself, single-handedly killed off his own race. While his crimes may are different than teh others doctor’s, they both stood on the same principle to end war and the destruction it causes. And who knows, maybe his one liner about not getting to choose when and how you are punished is a bit of foreshadowing. There’s a submission to make you happy ;)
