incomingalbatross:

Never over the way Turlough’s arc just reenacts the Doctor’s character arc over his first three lifetimes in a slightly altered order.

  • Child of a corrupt society, ending up at odds with them
  • (and even though this wasn’t canon at the time, please note Listen’s “doesn’t want to be a soldier” next to Turlough having some kind of military rank but being accused of “still running away.” And being characterized as “running away” in general, of course)
  • Exiled to Earth (under the Brigadier’s supervision), hates it there and stews about having to live among a bunch of humans (Three)
  • When we meet him, is motivated by desperation and self-interest, shows little regard for others’ welfare, and in fact tries to kill a man by braining him with a rock (One)
  • Gradual process of learning to have friends and embrace his better impulses (One)
  • Lying, refusing to talk about himself, and acting like he wants to go home while also desperately afraid of his own people (One & Two)
  • On landing in a situation where a number of innocent people are going to die (and it’s partly his people’s responsibility), he sacrifices his freedom by calling his people in to rescue the innocents, and accepting that he will no longer be able to hide from them (LITERALLY War Games)

I was thinking about The Time Monster, and how he couldn’t really have turned into a baby and back again without some intermittent brain damage. I mean what if he just completely forget people and things and places sometimes, like some sort of erratic amnesia? What if after Mike was let go from UNIT, he would sometimes insist he was still there and wonder where he was, and the Brig would get so frustrated with him, but it wasn’t his fault?
