Yep, and I'll add a little to the list while I have open the review I did of stuff Moffat stole from RTD, and a couple of tropes he just overuses a ton:

- Bringing Rory back to life (Jaaaack-), the "all the power in the universe" thing, was straight out of the Bad Wolf episodes
- The Year That Never Was idea
- The "waiting for the Doctor for a few bajillion years" thing was Jack Harkness's schtick well before it was Rory's
- "You can't see it, so it's scary!"
- "The planets are disappearing!" Yeah, RTD already did that Moff.
- River Song allegedly being based on The Time-Traveler's Wife
- Reusing his own aliens and monsters come the fuck on now. Let the Weeping Angels die, Moffat. Let them die.
- Characters with no apparent family or "grounding" in any particular place or time (which goes along with what I said above in this thread... that Moffat's characters aren't ever relatable because you never know where they're coming from or anything about their home-life before the Doctor)

And on, and on... if he wanted to be original, he should have been. But I'm fairly convinced Moffat isn't capable of originality by now -- he's never shown himself to be.

And re: Amy, I've always said she's basically a compilation of all the worst traits of the Doctor's other New Who companions, lol. Like, seriously, she's a much less tolerable Donna.

Yea I said somewhere else on the thread that she started out as a shit remake of Donna and that's why I hated her so fiercely last season. She's kinda moving away from that slowly (and the whole story isn't focused on her) so I'm slowly coming around to her being in the TARDIS.

[curseangel.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I... still hate her, lol. I can tolerate her as long as she doesn't try to sexually assault the Doctor again, but only just tolerate. She's no longer the one driving me to consider not watching the show anymore, anyway-- that honor goes to River Song. :\

[wldcatsprstr-14.livejournal.com]

In all honesty, I don't see River being as "I know something you don't know" in the same way anymore. Before it was like "OMG SOMETHING REALLY INTENSE AND DRAMATIC IS GONNA HAPPEN TO YOU IN THE FUTURE AND I KNOW BUT I CAN'T TELL." Now it's more of a teasing way. I'm sure the Doctor is clever enough to figure out that she'll most likely being a romantic partner of some sort. She's really only dropped teasing sexual lines to him this season. It's only to other characters and to us that she reveals the really dramatic and intense sense of what's to come. With the Doctor, she's just playful and flirty. Before time, it was all "OMG DON'T LOOK IN THE JOURNAL! I CAN'T TELL YOU WHAT'S INSIDE!" But this season, they're comparing notes and stuff. I think the melodrama in her interactions with the Doctor himself are toned down from past seasons.

[curseangel.livejournal.com]

idk, either way it annoys the living hell out of me, lol. I hate the sexuality and the "flirting," I hate the "spoilers," and all of it. Some of the melodrama has toned down, but all it's left in its wake, IMO, is more obnoxiousness-- something I honestly thought wasn't possible considering how horrible I found her when she first appeared! :\
