I see what you mean. I guess I wished he'd made a token effort at getting the reason out of them before jumping to the 'you sure you want to mess with me' stuff because finding out why they'd skipped straight to the fire and brimstone would probably have been useful. Maybe its another of Moffat's long hanging threads that he'll use to pull the rug out on us in the future but even then it just seems like sloppy writing to me.

I was fine with the story arc until the S4 specials when RTD really went overboard but overall, even with its faults I felt like he managed to tell a complete coherent story. And yeah he did get pretty preachy about themes sometimes, the S3 ending was a particular low point on a lot of things and evolution of the daleks wasn't much better but its been mostly second watch hindsight for me. I think RTD was better at getting me swept up in the grand spectacle whilst Moffat's obession with the minutiae and drawing your attention to it makes everything seem smaller and leaves the flaws easier for me to spot.

(But yeah, I hope there will be a new showrunner once 11 comes to an end. I think if they'd both had a firm exec or a strong second/producer/director willing to argue with them things then some things probably would have worked out better, the emotional end of S4 stuff especially but also River and the Ponds in general, I'm not sure the convoluted plot could be unpicked though.)
