Re: 'TIS THE SEASON FOR SEASON FINALES!!!

Well, the people who hate it are the most vocal, but actually quite a lot of people think it's just fine. However, the ratings have noticeably dipped this half-season.

I think one of RTD's strengths was that he was very good at integrating his characters with the stories of guest writers who actually did know how to write sci-fi (see: most of the best episodes of season 1-4). Moffat isn't, because his overarching plots are too intrusive and his characters and themes are too thin.

I'd say your criticism is a teeny bit harsh though. RTD could do a good job at writing a few forms of sci-fi -- very soft and fantastical (Gridlock, Utopia) and human-issue-centric (Children of Earth). And Moffat was excellent at coming up with concepts and mysteries -- as long as his scope was very limited and RTD+other writers had done all the characterization legwork beforehand so Moffat could focus on the trappings of the story and didn't have to embarrass himself trying to come up with the story's meaning.
