My head-cannon is set to "The ten-to-eleven regeneration was so fucked up that eleven's brain is scrambled and that's why he's so out of whack". I just hope whoever takes over from SM has the sense to pull the Doctor back into the realms of sanity.
It annoys me that SM uses good ratings to justify his poor choices. Fucking "reality" shows get good ratings, it doesn't make them suddenly well written and thought out. ffs
Clara seems to have been designed as the ultimate blank slate companion so that the writers don't have to give any actual thought to what she'd do in situation x, y or z. Because she has no character she can react however they want and so the plot controls her, rather than the other way around. Le sigh.
Also, I hope John Hurt isn't going to be the Doctor that stopped the Time War. PAUL MCGANN'S CROWN WILL BE LOST!! ;_;
Agreed on the sticking around until SM leaves front. The show is 50 years old. It has its ups and downs. It'll go up again after this down. Won't it...? Please...
