1. He's A Randy Old Goat
Since the 1996 TV Movie, the Doctor has been an increasingly sexual character, snogging companions to taking away Queen Bess's virginity (don't think about it). He's snogged Grace, Rose, Martha, Kylie, Madame de Pompadour, Amy, River and countless others. Despite this, before Smith there was still an innocence to this to a large extent, the Doctor seemingly high on life as much as getting a wood. This charming innocence was there at the start of Smith's tenure. Who could forget his helpless protestations when Amy tried to seduce him? However, as his time progresses, this is a Doctor who becomes more and more of a 'lad'. With River Song this can kind of be forgiven. She does most of the running for a start, and the nature of the romance (they are coming at it in different directions time wise) makes it as much an intellectual puzzle as a romance for the Time Lord. However, he seems to be slipping viagra into his tea by the time he's marrying Marilyn Monroe or snuggling up to Tasha Lem. All of this only shrinks into comparison to his antics when Clara boards the TARDIS. If only it was the mystery of the Impossible Girl he was concerned with and not also the likelihood of a very possible shag, from choosing to give her hugs naked (while wearing holographic clothes) to commenting that she was wearing a skirt that was "just a little too tight". Ugh. No one wants to think of the Doctor checking out his companions' arses. The case for the prosecution ends. What did you think of this list? Are there any other reasons the Eleventh Doctor actually sucks? Leave 'em in the comments section below.
