10 Urgent Remedies Needed For Doctor Who
6. Improve The Doctor's Moral Compass
While Jodie Whittaker is most definitely a great actor, she has simply not been able to fully embody the character we love so dearly. Her problem? Her Doctor simply doesn't act in a way that the Doctor should. From suffocating spiders to blowing up innocent robots, Whittaker's incarnation just seems a bit heartless. A reveal that she is actually Missy, the villainous female persona of The Master, wouldn't even be that big of a shock and would even explain her temporary losses of humanity.
The writers are once again the cause of the problem and it is they who need to address this problem pronto. The Doctor has always made morally questionable decisions, but it has always been in spite of their best interests. For Doctor Who to return to form and relevance it must make The Doctor and the companions a conduit exploring what the 'right' decision is.
Can the Doctor stop a spider infestation without harming the spiders who haven't done anything wrong? Can the Doctor get a number of innocent persons out of an Orphan planet without blowing up the local inhabitants? Even if the answer is no, it is essential that the moral implications are scrutinised and evaluated, as this is when the show is at its finest.
