And the Doctor can be an arrogant bastard, but that's one of the reasons why I love him.
Yeah, I guess my reaction whenever the Doctor does something questionable is "Ooh, awesome! Moral ambiguity!" Whereas it seems like fandom is like "Boo hiss! How dare he not be PERFECT!?" Perfect characters are boring.
Plus, compared to the characters I've loved in the past (mass murdering vampire, mass murdering immortal...) the Doctor is positively a White Hat. ('Course I also love the Master... mass murdering Time Lord....)
