* The last we see of Damien in [[Drop the Dead Donkey]] is as a captive of a primitive rainforest tribe, an object of worship in a cage. The penultimate shots are filmed from his point of view, but then they destroy his camera and build effigies of it instead. For the first few scenes he is happy enough with his new-found status, but once they destroy the camera, he realises there is no likelihood that they will release him... |

* In early ''[[Doctor Who]]'' the [[William Hartnell|First Doctor]] castigates [[Pun|short-lived]] companion Katarina for calling him a god. Subverted in the modern series where not only he is frequently referred to as a god (or rather, the "lonely god", being the last of his [[Sufficiently Advanced Alien]] species) by some oracles, psychics and others who have a rough idea of what he really is, he seems to embrace the idea, generally in the Wrath department when it comes to evil doers. He seems to regard his status as the Last of the Time Lords (not to mention the ''destroyer'' of the Time Lords) as meaning he is one of the last real authorities left in the universe, and dares anyone to test that. Its gotten to the point where he is sometimes afraid of himself. |
