the Doctor being Doctor-ish

[dbskyler]

I've been re-watching "Armageddon Factor," and I've realized that the first confrontation between the Doctor and the Shadow is one of my absolute favorite Doctor / villain confrontations out of the entire 50-year run of the show. It's certainly a prime example of the Doctor being Doctor-ish, and by "Doctor-ish," I mean acting in a way that would absolutely be recognized -- and celebrated -- by fans of both New Who and Classic Who. It's the Doctor's "core personality," if you will.

I looked for the confrontation on youtube, because I thought that someone out there must have uploaded it, and sure enough, I was right. Enjoy!
