Interesting, because I just read another review of A Christmas Carol that reached a similar conclusion. And this reviewer has skewered RTD for his indulgences in the past, so clearly it's a fundamental flaw in Moffat's writing.
In the light of Nine and Ten, Eleven's callousness towards Abigail's fate and the other people in the freezers is deeply disturbing. I don't know if the Classic Doctors would be so dismissive of them or not, but it is clear Eleven (and Moffat) treats characters as pawns, not as persons in their own right.
