You're projecting.

How many sentences do you expect in a tweet?

See, that's still part of the point. In New Who (2005 Series) the Timelords and Daleks are equivalent. But in the real world there is good and evil.

But the speech made Hitler and the allies equivalent. That was my point. The speech wasn't only for the Zygons, it was for the humans too. According to the Doctor Who writers, both sides are equivalent.

Doctor Who has been a realistic show re: villains. Moral equivalency isn't realistic. The message of this episode is childish. There were no shades of gray in the situation in WW2. The Nazis wanted to establish a master race. They wanted to kill all the Jews.

The "we're all equivalent" argument is a cartoon argument. In the real world, all things and all people aren't equivalent.

Not only was the monologue crap, but the boxes were crap. Their basis is the "mutually assured destruction" that supposedly kept the USSR and USA from destroying each other. But that was just in another morally equivalent fantasy.

That monologue was childish, silly and unrealistic.

Yes, because in the pretend world of the Doctor Who writers everyone is morally equivalent. There is no good and there is no evil.

…is crap.

It wasn't powerful. It was unrealistic. The world isn't gray. There is good and there is evil.

The delivery was good. The ideal expressed in that monologue was not good.

He is a good actor. He delivered the monologue well,. But it's a rotten message. Moral equivalency isn't true. Wars aren't fought between two sides that are the same.

Marriage bad…that's a warped, PC attitude. It wasn't Random Dude 358. It was dude Leela met and worked with and fell in love with. It was a specific dude.

In context of the episode and series, the Doctor knew what Susan wanted. He didn't come up with it. He understood. He listened to her.

Have you been a parent or a grandparent? A loving grandfather knows what his granddaughter wants. He watches her, he listens to her, he sees what she's doing.

Part of the problem is applying warped, PC modern attitudes to the classic stories. There's nothing wrong or sexist about getting married. Making a strong family is noble. It's a great career.

The latest Doctor is the best of new Who.

My point isn't about time travel. It's about life. One day a person has a best friend. They meet every day. They do everything together. Then on Monday they don't meet. Someone has work, someone has a new baby. 10 years later they look up to realize that best friend, that integral person in their life,

Hogwash. A grandfather knows. He saw what she wanted. And he knew what she needed.
