Ten was like bipolar, or something, only with faster mood swings than you actually get in manic-depressives. His angst was worse when Rose wasn't around, but basically if being the Last of the Time Lords ever came up, the Angst! hit it big time. I actually really loved Ten, but the Angst! got to me. Moffat did a good deal of it as well, with the Angst! for Reinnette and for River Song.

I have always found Moffat's strength in Dr. Who for tapping into deep routed child's fears, of zombie mask children, of clockwork robots, of the dark, of statues, and making it into something creeps the hell out of me. I think he's done a pretty good job at keeping that up. I still haven't noticed the crap writing that you seem to find, so...to each her own, I guess.
