The Doctor is many things. Brave, smart, dashing, mysterious. Many races fear him and consider him as “the oncoming storm” and many other consider him a savior, or a god. He has a very dark, serious side, as well as a  fun, childish alter ego that tends to show through often. My favorite quote is from The Tenth Doctor is when he’s trying to explain what time is, after being asked by a human. He pauses for a moment, trying to explain it the right way: “People assume that time is a strict progression of cause to effect, but actually, from a non linear, non subjective viewpoint, it’s a big ball of wibbly-wobbly… timey-wimey…. stuff.”

I feel like this quote brings out the more childish side of the doctor as he tries to explain something serious in an urgent situation. The Doctor has been in several situations in where he is explaining something very complex to a human, and it seems as if his his mouth is moving 20 miles per hour, and information just keeps pouring out of him. This quote is not the case. In the beginning, he’s talking in more complex, bigger words, and towards the end he try and explain it in a simpler way, using made-up words, such as “timey-wimey.”
