RTD recently suggested the show is going to be

RTD's vision of the show is that of a sixty year old man
trying to be trendy... and generally failing.

At least he waited a full 17 minutes before he had the
Doctor cry.

He cries AGAIN???!

Is RTD that tired?

You are getting the idea.

I really wish RTD didn't keep doing that. There is no need for
it. The Doctor in all of his many lives has seen plenty of
deaths and needless destruction. He's not some softie snowflake
type character that has never experienced loss and can't handle
it without shedding some tears.

Another reason why to remove RTD and the Timeless Child legacy!

I agree completely. He had the Doctor crying in every episode last
season, and has started this season with him crying. Honestly, I
wouldn't have a problem with it if it happened *rarely*, and after
something major has just happened (like how rare it was in the classic
era for a companion to die...how many times in 27 seasons did that
happen?). Otherwise it loses its effectiveness as a plot device. I
chalk that up to lazy writing.

A good non-Who example would be music. Good composers (usually) don't
repeat the same rhythmic motif more than 3 times in a row. They may
come back and revisit the motif later in the piece, but once it is
repeated 3 times they get off of it and go on to something else.

Just average these day DW.

It's either that, or he's trying to stick up for his buddy Chibnall
after all the (well deserved) criticism for his time as show runner, and
RTD is deliberately writing / producing a show that is pure crap just
out of spite for the audience.
