[The Doctor, of course, doesn't understand the term demon. Doesn't believe in them. He does, however, acknowledge Crowley's and Micheal's existence. And what he's learned from them is certainly not what the typical human thinks of demons. Then again- Time Lord - doesn't mean much around here either.
The Doctor listens as Crowley explains. Unfortunately, The Doctor can relate. Kindness isn't something Time Lord typically do. The species themselves tend to be very logical. In other words, their decisions are not emotionally involved. The Doctor having fled from Gallifrey and traveled with humans for many lives, however, has learned.
As Crowley rambles on, The Doctor thinks about how Time Lord court is fixed. The judge and jury are very keen to jump to guilty. Even if they allow the defendant The Doctor to speak. Only to seem fair.
Then there is the time, The Time Lords took his Tardis from him in Fourth life. Transporting him to Skaro. Near the start of the Daleks evolution. Forcing his hand in order to either slaughter them all or find a way to make the Daleks less aggressive. Only after one of these were satisfied. Point is, his own people have punished The Doctor for having freedom. And use to force The Doctor to do The High Council's dirty work, when they saw fit. During the Time War, other species thought Time Lords were just as bad as Daleks. The Doctor of course, still trying to help. Without being directly involved in the War.
There's an understanding look in those brown eyes. When The Doctor finally speaks it is a soft but understanding tone.]
I understand what you're saying. However, the species as a whole, does not represent the individual.
[Why do you think The Doctor tries to talk to the Cult of Skaro (Daleks) to think? Or the Sontaran leader- General Stenk, or the CyberKing, Lumic? Because he wants to give them a chance to rethink what they've done. There's enough killing already.
