Yeah. The man who kept calling us “stupid apes” was the most respectful of humanity.
You see Ten didn’t really show us a lot of respect when he tried to speak for us and our entire planet. Like, seriously, watch the Christmas Invasion for your proof of that where he thinks he’s the one to deal…
This does seem true, but I think a lot of it has to do with the fact the Ninth Doctor had just come out of the Last Great Time War. He’s seen terrible things and has done terrible things himself. He’s holding on to the good in humanity since he may not see any in himself at this time.
