The moment after she says that Good Men have too much rules and he states, "Good Men don't have rules." I love the look on his face, it looks like a mixture of fear and anger, where he is scared of what he would do if he had no rules and that the knowledge that even though people view him as the Doctor as good. He knows that deep down that he is just evil.
Was he truly angry at this point? Yes, he probably was. But was he truly letting it get the better of him? Or was it merely an act? Was he speaking the only language he knew would lead to his enemies backing down? Similar to what he did with the Attraxi. Leaving is good, never coming back is better, and the threat of force is still a lesser evil than actually using force.
@KamenDesantis I would agree with you EXCEPT he blew up about five different cyber-ships in pursuit of the knowledge of where Amy was. I state again, the old Doctor would NEVER had done that. This is why I think he really is angry and he really doesn't care about the consequences of being so.
@GabrielsSwordVideos the 1st doctor was nearly going to club or stab a caveman to death in an early episode until one of his companions stepped in and told him not to... The Doctor wasn't always a hero you know... He killed his entire race... and the Cybermen aren't really alive just machines.
I don't know exactly why, but this was the moment that cemented Matt Smith and the Eleventh Doctor as The Doctor for me. I'd warmed up to him gradually, but I always felt there was that rage to balance out his sillyness that was missing. He had it a bit in Victory of the Daleks and Time of The Angles, but I felt it wasn't enough. Here he finally shows that other side of the coin. That's what I love about The Doctor; he can be the most benevolent man in the universe, but if you cross him...
@Cuiasodo See, now I agree and I disagree. Personally, it shows how far the Doctor has stooped to a human level. He was always about forgiveness and finding the least direct way of helping. This Doctor isn't like that anymore. You screw him, he screws you. However, it was an EXCELLENT scene from Matt and it does give his Doctor his character.
@GabrielsSwordVideos yes, but the Doctor hasn't lost all of that forgiveness and stuff. He's not always this fierce. This is a really dark element, a dark slice of him, but he isn't always like this. He's getting darker, but he's not continually sadistic like this. eh? He hasn't stopped being the Doctor. He hasn't stopped being a good man. Really, this is righteous anger, in a way, even though one might argue he's taking it a bit too far.
@GabrielsSwordVideos I suppose I can see that. I was more familiar with the last two doctors, than any of the others, though, and each one of them had that odd balance between benevlolent and vengeful, with varrying degrees in either direction depending on character and episode, thus seeing the anger here cemented me for me. I'd argue that past doctors had been just as menacing at times, but I'm only so familiar with the "classic" episodes.
I don't see why people don't like Matt Smith as the Doctor. He's just as good as David Tennant while being his own Doctor. I think he's brilliant and hope he stays around for at least 2-3 more years
I love matt smith but i hate the new doctor david tennant could express the fury of the gods without even raising his voice (like in the family of blood) the new one i just too human now.
@LastWhovian I would have to disagree there, friend. Tennant might've played the Doctor more human than the others, but to my mind, McGann was the most human. I agree with you on Smith being more traditional though.
@muslimindisguise Oh, do you mean that sullen expression of moodiness that he had in almost every scene? - oh yeah, great acting there - the best piece of acting in the world *sarcasm*.
There is so much controversy in this scene. The humans at war with the Doctor like he's the devil or something, but Madame Kovarian identifies him as a "good man". So she acknowledges he's good, but he wants him dead like he's evil. WTF?!
@duckworth21384 Chances are that only Kovarian, Manton and a handful of the army know he's really a 'Good' man. They want him out of the way for their own reasons and are simply twisting the legend of the Doctor to their own needs in order to scare the rest of their forces into obedience.
@tinegah Fact is, The Doctor is a tale of two extremes; while he has done great good, to counterbalance it he's been responsible for countless genocides.
this was a brilliant performance of the doctor getting the angriest we've ever seen him! its his quiet anger that is very disconcerting....it fits with the family of blood episode about why he ran away from them. i think it fits the eleventh doctor more than the tenth doctor to be honest. sure ten got angry but eleven has a deadly and dangerous kind of anger.
"The anger of a good man is not a problem. Good men have too many rules."
"You're wrong, madame. Good men doesn't NEED rules, because they can do whatever they want for their entire lifetimes, and in that time, never commit a single sin. Good people don't have rules, and today is not a good day to find out why I have so many."
@TheEndlessWarlock TBH, you just wrote down the line but explained why Good men don't need rules, but we all kind of knew that and you ruined the mystery of it anyway.
this half of the sixth season really fleshed out the idea that the doctor is on one hand a force for good, but on the other hand can kill quite easily, and thus he limits himself to a non-lethal sonic screw driver and runs from danger instead of fighting, we saw this idea broached in the family of blood storyline where he tries to be kind to the family by running and turning into a human till they die, but he is forced to fight them. "Hail the doctor, The Great Exterminator"
Colonel Run-away, Colonel Run-away, Colonel Run-away sung to tune of Ring around the Rosie. hahahahahahahahahahahahaha Look ah poor Colonel Run-away is getting angry, who cares he's Colonel Run-away.
@SilveerStarr I love that line because it shows he's not a good man, well he hasn't been in the past (1st Doctor.... and genocide of Time Lords and Daleks) and has changed a lot over his life using rules and things his companions have taught him in order to be good and save the universe...
i love how the amount of anger he puts behind those words "through the people i love" is said with such passion that he makes the silurian hiss. so much anger
All the actors who have played the Doctor do anger well, I think it's the character that allows them to do it. He's comes across as happy and 'go-lucky' but underneath there is a rage brewing.. Tom Baker and Patrick Troughten were particularly good at this.. of course until Matt Smith came along.
@Blasted2Oblivion Well the Daleks call him THE ONCOMING STORM. I goota pity that stupid woman when she said good men have too many rules. I would've kept my mouth shut around the already furious Doctor.
"Good men don't need rules. Today is not the day to find out why I have so many..." Awesome. Awesome. Awesome. This whole episode is in a world that lives beyond Epic. It is one of my favourite episodes on any show, ever.
