It is the secret to the show's longevity that it has been a historical/educational show, a space-thriller, a spy show, and environmental exploration show, a show of political allegories, then onto hammer horror in space, the Tom Baker/Douglas Adams comedy sketch show, a mindbender show, a violent space video nasty, a left-wing thought experiment, a US X-files clone, then a children's space adventure clone, and now bang up to date with an exploration of the more mythical themes-meta story where time travel isn't just the tool to get the cast to the adventure but an integral part of the adventure itself. I can't wait to see what it is in another few years, but I hope it is still not filled with you entitle whores bitching about how it isn't following the script within your own head, you dozy fuckers.

(Anonymous) 2014-01-03 01:07 am (UTC)(link)Let's be honest here - no matter how much you've been watching the show, you're just a fan like everyone else watching here, and that's what's pissing you off.

Yes, they're out there in every fandom, but most criticism I've heard on Moffat's run was a) bad character development b) unsatisfying story arcs and his inability to finish them in an even remotely satisfactory manner c)lack of emotional depth d) ignoring past canons by just explaining them with "timey wimey a,d e) just generally dumbing down the show, making it more a "kids" show than a "family" show.". None of that is SJW-related.
And yes, there has been criticism of his portrayal of women, but Davies got that too, and you don't have to be an SJW to enjoy good character writing for women.

(Anonymous) 2014-01-03 01:08 am (UTC)(link)My issue with Moffat has more to do with the way he writes arcs and companions. And it should be noted that I wasn't always fond of the way RTD wrote things either - he was way to obsessed with Rose and I think he handled the whole Martha era poorly. Moffat is a great writer, he just doesn't handle long term arcs very well and tends of fall on tropes for characters a little too much.

That's fine for one companion. A couple in a row, in the 2010s instead of 1960s? Then I worry. Maybe it'll be less creepy now that the Doctor's an old man again and not a young flirty guy.

I don't hate the way RTD ran things or the way Moffat does, but there are definitely things I dislike about both of their runs. I like both Ten and Eleven a lot, I like all the companions for the most part , but there was something about each of their runs that bugs me. It'll probably be the same with whoever eventually replaces Moffat.

(Anonymous) 2014-01-03 05:48 am (UTC)(link)Yeah, I mean I ADORE the fuck out of Fourth Doctor, but even that run there are things I take issue with. (Them having Sarah Jane scream in situations she wouldn't after all her time with Third would scream at being one.) That doesn't mean I suddenly hate Doctor Who and are a 'bad fan tm'.
