Was one of RTD's rules perhaps. Just as JNT had rules, Andrew Cartmel was going to have rules (Bastard!Grade), as Verity Lambert had rules, as John Wiles had rules, as Barry Letts had rules, etc and so on. What I'm saying is every showrunner has his or her own rules for the show and that changes with the era.

Stop pining for the RTD era, it is as dead as a Norwegian Blue. Basically, you don't like Moffat because he is not RTD and is different. The rest of it is just tenuous justification for that. I'd respect you and the rest of the MOffat hate crowd if you were just honest about it.

No, I don't like Moffat because I don't like Moffat anymore. And I don't like Moffat because after watching him for some time, I've come to the conclusion that he isn't very good.

In fact, I started out REALLY liking Moffat and actually thinking he was better than RTD back when I first watched season 5. I only started disliking him very reluctantly, after going through quite a long phase of constantly trying to justify or minimize all his flaws and complaining that people who criticized him just didn't "get it". It was only after rewatching his stuff a couple times and thinking about it again that I came to like RTD more than Moffat.

sorry but you are wrong

*blinks*

Wow. Okay, I don't think I've ever seen an answer quite that bold before. Kudos.

I have a different opinion. I don't begrudge you yours. I'd just appreciate it if you didn't try to tell me my opinion is invalid while yours is justified.

DA

I can't stand ANY of the Nu!Who stuff, with the exception of the standalone episodes with David Tennant and Catherine Tate....and then finding out some behind-the-scenes stuff of how and why Tate got on the show (even though the episodes were eminently watchable), kind of soured me on even that.

So, no, anon, I'm not "pining for RTD" because I wasn't really a big fan of his stuff, either. As for Moffat, having a soap opera/sitcom writer try their hand at science fiction isn't what's turned out so badly; what's turned out so badly is that Moffat unfortunately, is trying to apply soap opera/sitcom techniques TO science fiction...and failing spectacularly at producing anything even remotely engaging, thought-provoking, or emotionally worthwhile.

is curious, what behind the scene stuff re Tate?

(Anonymous) 2013-06-18 11:37 am (UTC)(link)
Apparently she wasn't bovvered.
