Doctor Who season eight

[Aractus]

I don't really understand what they are doing with Capaldis doctor, he just doesn't really seem to care about saving lives any more and that's just so out of character compared to the last 3.

I have a theory on that.

First this does happen sometimes when the Doctor regenerates, eg. the Sixth Doctor. Second, Missy is thus far collecting the people who have "died" that the doctor has failed to save. Whether they are actually saved by Missy or whether they're just computer programs (as in the "echoes" in Silence in the Library/Forest of the Dead) and whether she is or is related to River is yet to be seen, however I have a very strong feeling that Clara will "die" and be collected by Missy at the end of the season. I have a strong feeling the story arc will be dismally disappointing, Clara's already died enough times as it! But we'll just have to wait and see.

I also don't understand why Moffat still has the doctor with such apathy to soldiers when 1. he loved Brigadier Lethbridge-Stewart, 2. he now knows that he saved Gallifrey, and he did it as the "war doctor" regeneration. He hates unnecessary killing, this is true and he always has. He even refuses to kill off the Dalek race in Genesis of the Daleks, but why he hates soldiers now is still an unbelievably dumb trait that should have died with Smith's doctor!
