The Tenth Doctor.

Talks a big game about pacifism and then hands out fates worse than death like they were candy.

I don't know the classic series very well, but this goes for all the new doctors. To be fair, they don't ever claim to be good, right, or even justfied. They just seem to think acting is better than standing by and watching.

Don't know about Dr Who, examples? Which one plays the tenth doctor?

examples?

David Tenant is the Tenth Doctor.

The Family of Blood is probably the most egregious example. Trapping people in the event horizons of black holes, behind mirrors, whatever, for all time.

While in The Doctor's Daughter was getting all huffy and offended that someone might think he'd /shoot people/. Just outright killing someone is way less evil than stuffing them into indefinite suffering.
