Save the Doctor: Rose and Clara — More Importantly, Davies and Moffat
I’ll preface this by saying that I don’t think everything Moffat does is terrible, and I’m the kind of fan that’s pretty willing to go along for the ride and see where the writer is trying to take me. Something about the resolution to Clara’s storyline just drove home what I don’t like about Moffat’s direction, though, and I have some thoughts about why. (Spoilers for The Name of the Doctor below the cut.)
“Moffat’s companions lose the story of individual potential for greatness by serving as accessories to the plot, rather than the plot serving as their stage. Their importance feels contrived. And the Doctor consistently treats companions as mysteries to be investigated and solved, instead of people to admire and learn from.”
You hit the nail on the head. :/
The thing I keep banging on about is that he doesn’t know what age he is. He’s lying. How could he know, unless he’s marking it on a wall? He could be 8,000 years old, he could be a million. He has no clue. The calendar will give him no clues.

“I’m singin’ an old nursery rhyme from Gallifrey. I want to make sure she knows the language.”
