Okay, look. There are always eras of Doctor Who people dislike. There are always show runners of Doctor Who people dislike. Stop acting like this is a new thing or because of SJWs.

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.

Yeah, for me it's entirely a companion thing. We wouldn't have another Donna or Martha because both aren't entirely dependent on Doctor Who for validation.

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.

It probably won't be. This is Moffat, afterall.

I don't know if I'd agree about Donna all that much though. She goes off with the Doctor because she's become convinced travelling with him is the only way she can improve her less than stellar life. Fair enough. The Doctor can show you things no-one else can, but then at the end of it all she has to have her memory wiped and has to forget him she basically ends up right back where she started. And the implication seems to be without the Doctor's influence she can't go out and make just as awesome a life for herself without him. Even her grandest moment basically involves her having to meld with the Doctor in some way. For all the complaining about Amy and Clara lacking agency and the issues with Moffat's writing the one thing I liked was the implication that their lives away from the Doctor were as valuable or worthy to them and that they could have lives independent of the Doctor.

I hope it'll be better too.

Agreed.

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.

SA

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'.
