Oh yes, I'm familiar with Watsonian versus Doylist. I can argue the Doylist side of things, but generally find that if I am it's to excuse something being poorly done. I much prefer being able to argue Watsonianly.
Hm, if they want to get rid of the accumulated story-cruft, then they shoulda left the bloody Daleks out. Grrr. I'm not all that up on canon, myself - I mostly was watching the Tom Baker Doctor some when I was younger, don't much know the others. I'd have been a happier viewer without them. They're just so bloody stupid. I generally hate the supervillain omnipotent enemy, anyway - I hated the Q, and pretty much lost all interest in Star Trek once they brought in the Borg, and haven't watched that movie or any since. If you have an undefeatable enemy, and you defeat them ONCE, okay, maybe, but if you KEEP facing them, and keep beating them, then man, that totally shreds my suspenders.
