Wasn't there an ep when the use of a gun was a serious issue, as in, could the doctor kill someone in cold blood?

Did you know that there are classic episodes of Doctor Who on iTunes? I just watched "The Deadly Assassin", where Four uses a gun, and gets framed for assassinating the Lord President of Gallifrey.

“Not dead yet!”
Not only did I go there, I was a little jarred when they *didn't* say "We band of buggered."
::SNORT::
Yeah, me too.

Wasn't that at issue in Tennant's finale? That he could have shot The Master with Wilf's gun? Or am I thinking of the first time The Master died, when his wife shot him?

Same with me, Steph, because I started reciting along, wrongly.
Ha! Me too!

Trust my rage
You know, I will be watching when Eleven starts and I will try to stick with it. But, and I feel so shallow saying this, I'm not sure Matt Smith can ever be sexy the way CE and DT were/are. I';; be happy to be convinced otherwise, but he just looks so *goofy* to me.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I don't need my Doctor to be sexy, although it is nice. That aspect is recent for me.

I don't think that Nine was intended to be sexy, it was a side effect of his awesomeness. I think that it may have been a factor in casting Ten, though. Clearly not an issue in casting Eleven. Because he looks eleven.

Trust my rage
I never wanted sexy in any of the old doctors; I guess I got spoiled by the new ones. I suppose I'm just in the "I hate this new Doctor" phase. I'm trying to get over it.

I still kinda hate Ten, except I love him. But he's no Nine. And that resentment is taking some getting past, even now. But I don't hold it against Matt Smith. Most of what I've read him say about the character sounds fun.
