Hey so. I have a concern about Lance. I've been trying to roll with it and holding off on saying anything because bringing concrit to people I'm not super-good friends with is a little nerve wracking, but since I do want to keep playing the Doctor against Lance, I feel like I need to a) understand his character more and b) voice my concerns.

It sometimes bothers me how perceptive he can be. I get that he's a big player in the world he came from, which entitles him to be more than averagely smart and perceptive, but all the same he can still come off as too quick. Figuring out that Cho was actually the Doctor, for instance, after exchanging no more than a few sentences with her/him. In my opinion, that takes a couple of assumptive leaps that don't make sense unless Lance is a telepath or some kind of crazy super genius.

I realize this may come off as hypocritical since I'm playing the Doctor, but... he *is* a crazy super genius, and even given that I wouldn't have had him figure something like this out quite so quickly.

I'm not asking for a ret-con or for you to delete the comment on Romana's post, but it did bother me. And again, I DO want to keep playing with Lance, which is actually why I brought this up. I didn't want to just sit on it.
