I feel like he values the "WOW! THAT'S SO FREAKIN' COOL!" reaction more than he values steady, sensical character building and plot development. While that works fine when you're one writer of a show under someone who values the opposite (even if it's RTD, who goes perhaps too far into the schmaltz), when you're the showrunner you should maybe use a little restraint in the "THIS WILL BE AWESOME WATCH IT!!!" department and just let things...develop for good reasons? It's, Doctor Who, you get stuff like "the crack", and then the mystery of wtf is going on with Amy seeing that lady with the eyepatch, and then omg where did River go?! Which had good payoff episodes, I think; "The Pandorica Opens", "A Good Man Goes to War", "Let's Kill Hitler" are subjectively pretty cool episodes and the acting in them is solid. But overall I feel like the characters don't develop in tune to the massive fuckery they've been put through.

Also, I'm not a huge fan of how he spoils his own emotional climaxes, arguably one of the things he's better at, by talking about them in interviews and (before he deleted it) his twitter account so much. Oh, "Angels Take Manhattan" is going to be sad, is it? Maybe it would have been IF HE'D SHUT UP ABOUT IT. Same for Sherlock.
