seems a bit wishful thinking, and - absolutely - it was Davies who made the Doctor the center of the universe, starting with 9/10 as ThE lAsT oF ThE TiMe LoRdS, and every episode/arc being largely centeted on The Doctor's past/present/future and enemies. 14(?) popping in to essentially NAME the Daleks, his greatest enemy, kinda undermining 4's Genesis of the Daleks arc, is a sign - to me - that The Doctor is, once again, the center of the Whoniverse as we know it.
13 was far less "center of the universe" than 10 and 12 ever were, often taking a back seat to her companion's storylines, which was refreshing.
to clarify, i like every season of Doctor Who and enjoy center-of-the-universe Doctor as much as backseat Doctor, i just don't think this is going to be a backseat decade for Doctor Who, not with Davies at the helm.
