as demonstrated via the single alien presented as most heroic good in the 'verse, the Doctor.
It is true that the show has managed to problematize that point, though. After all, the Doctor's flaws and Torchwood's are fundamentally the same--they're both ubermensch--which perhaps makes their butting heads inevitable?
And they answer to a Queen that may very well be a werewolf, making the whole enterprise utterly hypocritical.
I completly didn't think of that angle. Good point!
YMMV ... and obviously does because you're reading it as a hero story.
Our reading is still the minority report in fandom, no? I don't follow the fandom-at-large well enough to be able to tell. You read fanfic, though, so you probably have a better sense than me.
