Goodwill Toward Men

Goodwill Towards Men is a great short story. Featuring the Second Doctor, Zoe, and Jaime, they all go to a homeless shelter and help some people out. Like Perfect Present, it gains a certain sense of elegance in its simplicity. It's neat that this was written by Shaun Lyon, as the earlier review talks about.

It's nice enough, but not so much heartwarming as it is just a good character piece. Like in Last Minute Shopping and Every Day, it is really cool to see Jaime and Zoe visit earth in more modern times. Both are incredulous at seeing homeless people in Los Angeles in the late 20th century, but for very different reasons. Jaime is baffled that the local authorities don't take in wayward children like they would in his time, while to Zoe, these problems were long eliminated in her time.

A lot of interesting thoughts on poverty, charity, and human progress. Some good stuff overall.
