Doctor Who: 10 Reasons The Eleventh Doctor Actually Sucks

4. He Undid The Time War's Most Dramatic Moment

No one likes to think of the Doctor as a mass murderer but fans know that the life the Doctor leads brings with it great risk and death. When Russell T Davies brought the show back he gave a great new backstory to cover the interim period. There had been a terrible Time War between Daleks and Time Lords alike and, left with no choice, the Doctor did something that stopped the war but which destroyed his home planet in the process. He was the last of the Time Lords. Some of the best moments of NuWho have come from this tension, especially Series 1's Dalek. However, Smith era showrunner Steven Moffat can't seem to kill anything off. This is fine but, even worse, he's now started messing around with Russell's decisions. In The Day of the Doctor, the Eleventh Doctor (along with the Tenth and the War Doctor) hid Gallifrey instead of destroying it. So all that angst and survivor guilt, the very rationale of the Ninth Doctor, was for nothing. It's also rather a partisan decision, when you think about it. At no stage was a thought given to saving the Daleks. Throughout Russell's reign, viewers were shown how the Time Lords had become as bad as the Daleks - and maybe even worse. Why save them and kill all the Daleks? Rassilon was hardly a beneficial force, was he? Has the Eleventh saved perhaps the most dangerous race in the universe because someone quoted some Terrence Dicks at him?
