Man can go anywhere. Man picks up hot chicks. Man travels universe. Man fights aliens. Man can change.

Matt Smith (x)

This is Moffat’s legacy.  Man does. Man gets Hot Chick. Man fights.  Man wins.

This quote should disappoint every single viewer who’s followed the show.  Whether you just started marathoning the show or are introducing the show to your children—that quote is not the show.  That quote is Moffat and his narrow vision:  Man does. Man gets Hot Chick. Man fights. Man wins. Man. Man. Man.

Matt seems to bring up the hot chicks aspect whenever he gets a chance, as noted here.

Contrast that with Eccleston’s stock explanation of the show:

"… at the heart of the series is a great innocence and decency and purity. I believe wholeheartedly in some of the lessons that you learn from the Doctor, about acceptance and greeting strange things with a sense of wonder, rather than fear and aggression. There is, at the heart of it, a celebration of difference. In the end, the Doctor has to deal with the Slitheen and the Gelth, but initially he gives them the benefit of the doubt. I like that. In cynical times, it’s a good, positive thing to make television about."

— Christopher Eccleston, SFX Magazine, June 2005

"For all the danger the Doctor encounters, the basic message of the show is seize life, be optimistic and see the positives. The series is written with passion and humour, and there’s an innocence about it. It’s a kind of celebration of life in all its forms. [The Doctor] doesn’t react with horror when he sees a blue, three-headed monster. He reacts with wonder, and I think that’s a very important message to send out to children."

—Christopher Eccleston, BBC Breakfast interview

And he also repeatedly mentions the importance of Rose as a role model for little girls, for example here.

Enough said.
