AYRT

Yeah, you, me, and every other human being on the planet with more than three functional brain cells.

Unless Moffat actually thinks the only ones who WATCH the show are idiots. In the one BBC Sherlock interview I saw with them, he kind of did give off that vibe. Oh, and in the Space (SciFi Channel in Canada) DW retrospective, where they had people talking about an old ep from each of the Doctors' runs, he gave off that same sort of fat-cat-I-can-totally-do-what-I-want-so-suck-it-plebs type attitude. I changed the channel every time he started yammering on about the former Doctors on principle alone; was he not the one who "didn't want to look backward" for the 50th?

Saw the ad for the XMas Special today. It's totally a rehash of the 50th, at least that's what it looks like to me. And I didn't even watch the 50th. And I could tell, just from the trailer, that it's just going to be more of the same "Look! No, look at this! Forget that other thing I just said, and the thing after! Look at THIS instead! No, no, forget all that! THIS IS SHINY LOOK I AM DAZZLING YOU I AM ON FIRE" etc. etc.

The thing I REALLY don't understand, from what I dimly recall of the paperbacks in the 80s with which I have long since parted ways, is that Moffat's DW books are NOT that bad. They're not that great (this is Moffat we're talking, after all), but nowhere near the level of sheer psychosis the episodes have become under his reign. I mean, the plot synopsis for Neil Gaiman's episode even reads the same as Moffat's usual "style."

Unless that IS the "style" of the writing these days, in which case, may God have mercy on our souls....
