Cannot answer to plots of TV shows, but

[(Anonymous)]

In real life, everyone is irreplaceably important: if you have not yet learned this lesson, you are probably a failure of a human being.

Of course, shows/movies/books are not real life and therefore the same rules do not apply.

But consider that in order to engage our interest, the characters presented in a TV show have to behave like human beings, as realistically as possible. So while lots of secondary characters in Doctor Who are not relevant to the plot of the show, it is normal the Doctor would say this. If he didn't, he wouldn't be the Doctor, the most human of the Time Lords. he'd probably be the Master, who probably doesn't think anyone who is not himself or the Doctor is important.

Maybe it's just a matter of vocabulary: what do you call important? If you mean 'impacts your own life, directly or indirectly', then yes, of course. But that is not what 'important' means, that's what 'important to me' means. I'll grant that the 'to me' is implied, though it shouldn't be: this is what empathy is all about...

Any man's death diminishes me, because I am involved in mankind, and therefore never send to know for whom the bell tolls; it tolls for thee. --John Donne - Meditations XVII
