Call me when RTD writes something as good as Sherlock (that IMO isn't as good as most people say, but it's still better than crap like Torchwoord or Queer as Folk).

Sure. It's called Torchwood: Children of Earth.

Ur welcome.

(Anonymous) 2013-12-03 11:47 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, no. That was a trainwreck. The first two seasons were bizarre and weird and sometimes too campy, but they were lovely. Children of Earth was forced drama, soulless. 'Let's ruin everything that makes Torchwood an enjoyable show'.

I disagree.

DA

"as good as Sherlock"? You must be joking. A Study in Pink was the best that show is ever going to be, and why? Because Moffat (and Gatiss) crafted the modern story around an existing, established, fully-fleshed out PLOT. (Which is the one thing Moffat cannot write well, neither for love nor money.) The further they got from ACD's well-crafted plots, the harder Sherlock sucked. Now it's been reduced to a very bad pastiche of an already-bad pastiche, and ACD/Canon reliance has been diminished to outright reversals/thumbing of the nose, or, at best, references to the story titles.

This. A Study in Pink was great, but the show went downhill from there. Plus, they still managed to somehow build a plothole into the pre-built story (seriously, Sherlock is supposed to be good at this, so why does it take him so long to figure out the murderer's a cabbie?)

(Anonymous) 2013-12-03 09:12 pm (UTC)(link)
This. I figured out that the murderer must be a cabbie as soon as they revealed that all three victims 1) didn't own cars, and 2) were found in parts of London they didn't normally go to. Some genius!

Yeah, you totally lost me there. Fandom loves the show, but agreeing with the anon above, A Study in Pink was really the only good episode. That show really is rather awful despite people falling for the arrogant asshole male genius and the man they can ship him with.

"As good as Sherlock"? Oh, anon... /facepalm

I'm not an RTD lover, but if you want to defend Moffat's ability as a writer, you need to do better than that. People who point to Sherlock as an example of excellent writing only bolster the accusation that Sherlock fans can't look beyond Cumberbatch's prettiness to see the reality of things. Sherlock is frequently a mess of patched-together plot lines and credibility-straining devices and I say this as a fan of the show.

I doubt that all the male tv critics on his forties that are always praising Sherlock watch it for Cumberbatch'attractiveness. The writing isn't excellent, but is good enough to be enjoyable.
