Doctor Who, Moffat, opinion
One of the major gripes I have with Moffat's writing of Doctor Who (approx. 2010–2017) is that the Doctor is portrayed as being the most important person in the universe.
The speech from "The Pandorica Opens" ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pa74e8oAvIM ) is the doctor talking about how special he is.
Then there's the question ( https://youtu.be/lGDC0n89nhA?t=1m39s ). "The oldest question in the universe, and the one that must never be answered".... is "Doctor Who?"

And then there's the interstellar organisation dedicated to killing The Doctor.
Over and over again, Moffat makes the Doctor this mythical figure, that can never be defeated. And it takes all the fun and adventure out of it – I don't want an ultra-important person, I want to see a Doctor who goes on adventures, who follows where whimsy takes them, and who ends up saving people in distress.
But Moffat treats The Doctor as though they're a God.

@lizardsquid I strongly agree with you. I abandoned the show after Moffat took over. I tried really hard to stay interested, but there came a point in time when the writing was bland and the Doctor wasn't fun anymore - pseudo deities are boring.
