Your thoughts on the Doctor reminded me of this recent quote by SM:
"...[The Doctor is] just a lunatic who’s capering around trying to have lunch somewhere nice, and all these people think that he’s this massive, mighty foe... I think that’s a fun thing to play with. Because we know he isn’t. We know he hasn’t even got a plan. He can’t even drive the box. We know that’s not true. So I think that makes it a fun thing to play with. It’s a dangerous card for the Doctor to play because the more he makes his enemies fear him, the more powerful they will become in response to what is, in fact, an unarmed man who can’t drive."
Also I think the "war criminal" is totally River. In what way have they not been mirrored yet? Mass destruction of a people... And she was TRAINED to be a weapon in war, and has a massive reputation throughout the Universe that I don't think you earn just from killing one dude. I'm sure there's a lot more to it than that...
I might might have to mull over the rest of this and add some more later...
