Now that I have witnessed the departure of Patrick Troughton, I thought I would steal a moment to reflect on William Hartnell, Patrick Troughton, and everything that has happened since the series began.
William Hartnell and Patrick Troughton were two very different Doctors. They each had his own 'thing'. Hartnell still wins in terms of the way in which the Doctor's character is developed. He went from being a very selfish and cowardly Doctor, to a very caring and altruistic kind of gentlemen. However, Troughton completely changed the way in which the Doctor went about things. He was very hot headed, reckless, and a tad childish. He was very clever, and was quite adroit at fooling others. But it seemed almost gleeful at the meeting and defeating whatever alien species came his way.
I really liked the combination of the Doctor and Jamie. I felt that they have been the best mix that I have seen so far. It was quite sad that Jamie had to be returned to his own time, with no memory of his adventures with the Doctor. I think the 2nd Doctor was the most sad about this. He really had a great fondness for Jamie.
The Time Lords are a bunch of stuffy old goody two shoes.
