10 Dumb Decisions In Doctor Who We Can't Forget

The Twelfth Doctor's debut season is a mixed bag, to say the least. On the one hand, you have genuine classics like Listen and Mummy on the Orient Express. But you also have a fair few episodes that are likely to be skipped on rewatch, like In The Forest of the Night and Kill The Moon.

Kill The Moon especially suffers because it relies on the Doctor acting extremely out of character, even if this was meant to be a more morally ambiguous take on them.

The Doctor and Clara arrive on the moon in 2049 to discover that a team of astronauts are trying to destroy it, as its gravity has mysteriously increased and is causing dangerously high tides on Earth. The team soon discover that the reason for this is that the moon is an egg and the creature inside is about to hatch.

The Doctor promptly gets in the TARDIS and leaves Clara behind with the one remaining astronaut to make the decision for herself on whether to kill the creature and save the earth, or let it hatch and potentially doom humanity through the moon's destruction.

It is an unnecessarily callous showing from the Doctor and definitely his most pigheaded moment.
