The female Doctor's suddenly incompetent, knows nothing about Earth (she's never heard of vodka or Princess Anne? What?) and even when it looks like she's finally getting back to being the Doctor... she loses. The Time Lords outsmart her.
I loathed the entire thing, but the ending left a really bad taste in my mouth. At least if she'd survived they could have partially redeemed themselves by doing a sequel in which she had a proper adventure. I think '... and then the Doctor loses irrevocably' would be a potentially interesting end for an AU story, but Exile is not that story.
And there's no reason for her being the only portrayed-as-being-crap Doctor they've ever done other than "she's a gurl, lol"
Precisely. Additionally offensive: her previous (male) incarnation constantly lecturing her about what a terrible Doctor she is.
