Not at first, but it's definitely became much more of a focus, as the series went on. Moffat writes what he knows, and what he knows is slapstick dramedy. Which is fine, as far as that goes, but then it gets too big for him, and gets out of hand. Thus, the frantic pacing and whiplash plotting that passes for "epic" in Moffat's understanding. Neither of which are my thing, personally.

Sorry, fauxkaren. I know you're defending the show you love. :-) I'm just disappointed, because I know it can be so much better than it is.

Well, I too am disappointed in Moffat's handling of the show. I think he routinely bites off more than he can chew and his climaxes never live up to the hype he builds. And I am 500% done with time loops.

But I think that while Moffat's romances aren't great (Doctor/River makes me want to fling myself off a cliff), they're also towards the bottom of the list of his issues as a writer.

Oh, I agree, the space opera stuff is the least of Moffat's problems. I get plot whiplash from reading the synopses, I don't even bother watching anymore. He keeps referring to the 50th as "epic" which just makes me feel ill.

Taking the reboot as a whole, from Nine forwards, I think they definitely over-humanized the Doctor in a way that did a disservice to the show's roots, IMO. The whole companions-as-love-interest thing certainly didn't begin with Moffat. But I, for one, will be quite happy if it ends with Moffat.
