Eh. I think he could be a great writer, if he just had someone to rein him in. Or have someone else execute and edit his ideas, because even if I can tell he has these big and exciting things to present, they need so much fine-tuning to make sense and have impact imo.

Moffat's like those crack fic writers you see in your fandom, that are very good at churning out chapters and new fic, so you always have something to read. But the quality is so inconsistent, you dread the day he discovers your favourite kink meme and mucks up all the prompts with low-quality fills that he thinks are so great and you guys just don't get how clever he is.

This is pretty much my entire opinion about Moffat's writing -- well, that and annoyance with the occasional "Women, amirite?" joke.

Moffat's episodes were FABULOUS under RTD's rule. So you're spot on about having someone to rein him in. I don't think he's a bad writer, he's very talented, but he really needs someone to tell him to calm down or something.

That said, I enjoyed The Day of the Doctor immensely. Probably because it was such a big occasion, it deserved all that epicness.

This is pretty much how I feel about RTD. I like his ideas, but find the execution pretty lacking so maybe it's a new Who thing that they can come up with good ideas, can write reasonably well when it comes to one-off episodes, but suck at sustaining long-term arcs.
