Why is Sheldon such a big fan of Doctor Who? [closed]

In some episodes of The Big Bang Theory we can see that Sheldon is a big fan of Doctor from Doctor Who.

We also see that one of his greatest dreams is transferring his mind into a cybernetic body.

On the other hand, in Doctor Who we see that Doctor is the greatest enemy of Daleks and Cybermen - living creatures in cybernetic bodies.

Why is Sheldon such a big fan of Doctor, who is fighting with something that is Sheldon's greatest dream?

Best Answer

You're misreading why the Cybermen are considered a villain.

It has nothing to do with the cybernetic upgrades. It has everything to do with them forcing cybernetic upgrades on every living creature.

The Doctor always avoids killing except in cases where he must kill the aggressor in order to defend the victim. Similarly, he does not kill Cybermen unless there is no other way to save the Cybermen's victims.

Sheldon wishes to become cybernetic, which means that it doesn't actually conflict with the Doctor's view on the Cybermen (or other cybernetic beings). Only if Sheldon were to e.g. force his friends to become cybernetic would a conflict arise.
