Lol, so, since I originally wrote this post I've gone completely obsessive and Five is my new favoritest thing ever.
Like, everything you say there, and then what other Doctor would defeat evil through Buddhism? I keep thinking about Castrovalva as a metaphor for Five's whole run and having a lot of feelings about the poetry of empty spaces?!!?! And the whole fucking thing with Turlough where the Doctor pretty clearly saw that there was something shady going on with him and took him in anyway!?!?! UGH FREAKING UNASSUMING PERFECT BASTARD can i keep him?
so he slams on the breaks and goes off to be relentlessly nice and play Space Dad with the humans instead. There's a precedent for Eight's refusing to be a pawn in the War. I feel like Five is making me more patient with Thirteen as well?
