Here's the picture from which I got the quote that I shared in class on Wednesday about Doctor Who and Sherlock (which I highly recommend to anyone who hasn't seen it). I do think that it accurately sums up quite a number of archetypal characters (with the likes of Superman, Prometheus, or Jesus on The Doctor's side, and Iron Man, Bellerophon, and the protagonist from Understand on the Holmes side), and I'm thinking of making it or a similar idea into a paper topic.
On a slightly related note, what did any Doctor Who fans in the class think of the Series 6 finale? I absolutely loved it, but it seems to me from others' reactions that Steven Moffat has mastered the art of simultaneously enraging and delighting his viewers, of doing exactly what people expect but still keeping them guessing.
