That was coherent and it made quite a lot of sense, too. I agree with pretty much every argument you have against the Doctor.
Only, I never saw the Doctor as the protector of the earth or anything. To me, he only ever was a character, loveable and crazy and alien and dark, all those things. Ten added dysfunctional to it in ways that Nine didn't, but that only adds to my love for him 'cause I like dysfunctional. I really do.
I think the difference is that I only very recently got into this fandom at all and I watched a large number of episodes in a very short period of time and only after I started designing a picture of the Doctor in my mind.
So the way I see the Doctor? Combines all these things and therefore, I don't have a problem to reconcile anything. His relationship with Jack is broken and dysfunctional, as is the Doctor in general. He's wonderful and foolish and funny, but he's also very, very broken.
.. Does that make sense?
I really need a Doctor!icon... >_> I need more icon space. Meh.
