I don't think it's bled over extremely (it's more in GitF than the others, which is still one out of four episodes)--so far. But that was when he was only writing an episode or two per season, not when he had long-term character arcs at his disposal. So, now that he will have those long-term arcs, and given his views, I'm sorta nervous about what he'll do with them.
And while I've fanwanked his nonunderstanding of the problem of having both Rose & Reinette on board to be a product of the Doctor being an alien, not a man, it still ... needs that fanwanking.
I can't even fanwank it away like that. If the Doctor doesn't understand the problem of having both Rose and Reinette on board, then he wouldn't have displayed jealousy over Mickey, Adam, and Jack. In The Doctor Dances, which is even a Moffat episode, he's insulted at the implication that being an alien makes him not a man. It's a double standard, makes the Doctor a hypocrite, and is just something I can't think of any explanation for that will make me like it.
