The Doctor has been pretty anti-gun for as long as I've been watching. Honestly I just felt the Chibnal era lost a bit of magic, less campy/extreme/wild ride feeling to it. The first new season I thought was pretty decent.

True, but that translated into anti-violence most of the time. Here there was a chance to either give the creature mercy and kill it quickly, or let it suffer a horrible painful frightening death. At that point, what is exactly the ethical choice?

I thought the new run opened fairly poorly. Imo most of the issues I have with Who writing are still there.
