>>he left the Doctor as the sole subject of the series. And the show just doesn't hold the same allure or power if its sole subject is a really old alien with no other subject characters to counter him
This is a true thing, & I think that's kind of the point of it all... in order to push the Doctor back into the shadows & make him distant and mysterious again he needed a spotlight shined on him for a while, unfortunately the other character's stories were neglected for it. I hope now that Moffat's got the Doctor where he wants him we can get back to the companion's story.
