Time Lords are pretty racist dudes when it comes to humans/yer lower lifeforms, yah, so that works. So...the Doctor is a product of nurture, not nature, which, y'know, I don't agree with, but it's supportable.

But he seems to be reaching for something in himself when he's forced to *think* about things. Like...he's being complacent and that's why he's cack, but if he gets some motivation, then maybe he'll be better. Like "people spend all their times making nice things and other people come along and brek them" and he's all yay and Joan and that's when he fixes the scarecrow. And be's a hero with a ball. He needs someone to be heroic for?
