Okay, this is still bugging me from "A Christmas Carol."
I know the Doctor is more often than not clueless about social situations, but that scene with "What do I do with a crying female??" "I don't know!!" just BUGS. Past Doctors have not been this level of clueless. Well, Nine and Ten for sure haven't been, and while I can't recall specific instances with Classic Doctors, I could picture One saying "Go over and pat her hand, idiot boy!" And then he'd whap him on the head with his cane for good measure.
So. Either Eleven really has become The Stupid One, or he's attempting a level of douchebaggery unattained by past incarnations.
It's stuff like this that make me feel like I just can't get a handle on Eleven. Or maybe I have a handle on him, but I don't want that particular handle. I don't know.
*wanders off muttering*
EDIT: (Instead of making a new rantypants post.) I watched the S6 trailer and felt a bit stabby at the "Stetsons are cool!" line. OMG. I'm seriously developing a Pavlovian hate for any time Eleven says his clothes are cool. I JUST. WHY WON'T IT STOP?
