6, 20

6. I liked assigned reading/quiet time.  Dunno why people bitched about it during school, but man, I could bring in a book, and forget about whatever was bothering me, cause I was too busy saving the world from evil or flying spacecraft to new worlds.

20. I’ve ranted to you enough lately, Alyssa.  Also, I just answered a long rant.

[thatgeekyguywiththehat]

Hello. Same anon! Do you watch Moffat's Who or are you just like, nah, I don't like this? That sounded rude, all I mean is did you stop watching Moffat's Who after a while or not? I totally get why he's a problematic writer, by the way. Also, I was wondering if you liked any of Moffat's ladies? Like, aside from the whole "puzzles first" thing.

Oh, I watched all the way up to the current episode.  I’m just not as excited for the 12th Doctor as I could be, to be honest.  After all, there are still good moments, like Vincent Van Gogh’s episode!

Um, I liked Amy for a time, but the Ponds should have not been on the show continuously for the 3 and a half years they were.  It just got stagnant to me.

Personally, my favorite Moffat creation was Captain Jack Harkness, but we can all see what Moffat’s done with Jack lately.

River just got confusing to me, because I thought the wedding was the end, but she still hasn’t gotten a screwdriver so I guess Capaldi gets to act with River, which could be fun if every joke made about her wasn’t her age.

Clara, I didn’t really have much hope for, to be honest, after all Moffat had let me down about, I wasn’t holding out too much hope she’d be fantastic.  And…I guess she was okay.  She was feisty, smart, and didn’t trust the Doctor to always do things right.  I’d enjoy her more if her actions actually had an impact, or some kind of growth.

Fun fact: both Clara and Amy followed the “met Doc when they were young, traveled with him when they got hot/legal”.  9/Rose had a joke about 9 being Santa for Rose and the red bicycle, but that’s significantly less creepy than stalking Clara’s whole life.

Also, isn’t 11 still married to River?  So why is (at least the show portraying him as) he flirting so hard with Clara?

For his Sherlock women, Molly isn’t a bad portrayal of your “stereotypical” science nerd, who gets flustered when doing some social events.  I dunno about Irene, I feel she got way too sexed up and her mind powers got shunted to the side, when the books commended her as an intellectual equal to Holmes.

Is it that you don't like Moffat's Who or that you don't like Moffat? Like, what do you think about his characters and plots? Don't mean to be rude or anything, just interested in your opinion!

Okay, I’m going to compare the New Who Doctors, because I haven’t seen enough of the Classic Docs to compare them properly.

Honestly, there’s a lot of things that have rubbed me wrong about Moffat’s run.

Every female companion to 11, as written by Moffat, has been mysteries first and foremost.  While Rose and Martha and Donna all had elements of “huh, this person is cool, why are they so interesting?” It was their humanity that drew the Doctor’s attention to them.  Rose, Martha and Donna used ingenuity and cleverness to find the Doctor each time they lost them, versus “wishing really hard/fucking up all of space and time”.  Amy and Clara and River weren’t people to the Doctor, they were puzzles.  Why is little Amelia living all alone in a big house with a crack?  Who is River and what is her connection to the future Doctor(s)?  Why is Clara Oswin Oswald popping up all over the Doctor’s timeline?

Okay.  Setting aside companion respect for a minute, let’s jump to Moffat’s creations.  Possibly the most famous is the Weeping Angels, seen in 4 episodes, “Blink”, the two parter “Time of Angels” and “Flesh and Stone” and most recently in “Angels Take Manhattan”.  4 episodes, one writer, over the course of 5 years, and the Angels have ridiculously evolved and changed the rules set in place by “Blink”Angels cannot move when being observed.  Angels are always stone when observed.  Somehow the idea of “image of an angel becomes an angel” got cleared to become canon, and then they had a genius idea to make the Statue of Liberty an angel.

Now, I don’t know how familiar Moffat is with American culture, but the SOL tends to get plastered on everything.  Postcards, posters, t-shirts, not to mention millions of tourist pictures.  Also, NYC’s the city that never sleeps, so how exactly did a SOL-Angel make it all the way to Long Island to grin creepily at the Ponds?

Finally, everything was paradoxes.  9, in Father’s Day, made very clear rules about the laws of time and paradoxes.  10 obeyed that same logic, never crossing his own or other’s timestreams.  11 said FUCK THAT let’s have all the paradoxes!  Amy touching old Amy!  Retconning Journey to the Center of the Tardis by tossing a device through essentially meaning none of that ever happened!

So to answer your question, I do not like Moffat’s run on Who.  The only episodes by him that I’d watch over and over again are Empty Child/Doctor Dances & Blink, but only because RTD was a very strict editor.

Also he can’t conceive of the Doctor being portrayed as a woman.

Thanks for asking anon, I hope you understand where I’m coming from.
