I really agree with everything you say here. The interesting thing is that in the past Moff always managed to make me like RTD's characters even more, but now he seems to be writing the Doctor completely out of character. Case in point: the Beast Below and Vampires in Venice. I cannot get over how he willfully caused the extinction of an entire species because they were changing women who wanted to have a better life. Of course he shouldn't have let them sink Venice, but he could have helped them rebuild.
