You must never, ever allow this thought into your mind: “But that makes no sense!” Because, let’s face it, The Doctor? His whole character doesn’t fly. I don’t buy holo-technology. So can a holo-Vidiian be created out of the thoughts or a real life Phage-infected one? Sure, why not? And would a “programmed” Emergency Holographic Medical Program allow itself to adapt so much to its surroundings that its “growth” (in this case, falling in love) allow it to act at a less-than-best performance rate? BUZZZZZ! No: Asimov wouldn’t have that. Nor do I. I get that he’s saucy to allow Terrans to react to him as a real person – but I part company there.
Nevertheless, this is a sweet episode. I do enjoy The Doctor.
