Peter Capaldi is an actor with such gravitas he manages to keep me from turning off. The writing is abysmal these days, and it doesn't help that it's regarded in the same league as some major American TV series which have budgets far in excess of Doctor Who. Where the relatively inexperienced Matt Smith couldn't, Capaldi props the show up with his acting, but the scripts don't do him justice.
Moffat was one of my favourite individual writers in the RTD era, but he doesn't really have what it takes to take the show in this bold and exciting direction he's craving. Time to step down.
Don't you think he looks tired?
