Dear Moffat: Eat My Ass

[anundine]

I'm rewatching Doctor Who for the first time since high school and honestly? I would like to extend a personal fuck you to Moffat for ruining this show for me, I'm having a great time. (Relatedly: superwholock can also eat my ass for being Like That, causing me to cringe away from the show long before it really ground itself into the ground) I'd forgotten how much fun this show is. There's a sweetness here, a light cheesiness and a pure joy that I had forgotten about. It's kinder, too, than I remember it being. It definitely hearkens back to an older style of scifi, an era before the grimdark revolution in storytelling.

Thirteen will heal you. Thirteen will bring you home. She is a delight and so very, very, very much what we needed.

I hate what Moffat did to DW. Hate it so much. Don't get me wrong, Russel Davies' run had problems but the season plots at least had internal consistency (most of the time). Moffat's over-clever nonsense was just aggravating.
