"Well I've just blown that feature film idea" "That's what it takes to get through 45 minutes of Doctor Who." I love how amazingly accurate that is

I don't understand people's hatred towards Steven Moffat. He is a brilliant writer, and while he has his flaws, he is still a great writer for the show. Some of the best episodes of the new series were written by him, such as "Silence In The Library" and "Blink".

@macm.3889 6 жыл бұрын

(Sorry, I know you wrote this comment forever ago) Don’t get me wrong, I absolutely love his writing. Blink and Silence in the Library are two(well three) of my favorites. But with him as the show runner, I didn’t like the intensity of the plots he tried to pursue all the time. I just wanted the fun, slightly scary adventures, not the moody doctor! But despite this, I still think he’s great as a writer(and not too bad with Sherlock either 😋)

@krimzonvillain Yeah. Usually when he loses control, it's in anger or frustration. It's very rare to see him literally fearing for his life without being able to even try to fight back. The fear in his eyes when he's unable to even control what he says is...wow. It was really Tennant's shining moment as an actor in that show for me.

1. it was a response to TheeFreakiishlyz who said david was only in for a year, at no point did i say he was the longest running. and i agreed with his point after all. 2. I dont remember all this omg i love you christopher plz dont go when eccelston announced he was leaving. My point is that David had much longer than Chris, and that has let him get to know the role, and we are used to him. And that is why people are so sad to see him go.

@IceMetalPunk I guess it depends if you're typically pessimistic or optimistic, though I don't think Doctor Who leaves much room for pessimism even in it's darkest episodes. One of the things that the Doctor lauds us for is our endless potential for hope and good, despite our flaws and fears. As for the evil creatures and good humans, that's not always the case. Doctor Who complicates concepts of pure good and pure evil on the part of both humans and aliens in the vast majority of its episodes.

@krimzonvillain Unfortunately, that endless hope is extremely unrealistic. That's just it, though: in every other episode, the creatures are evil and the humans are good, but none of it is likely to happen in real life. In Midnight, the people are the evil ones, and their reactions to subtle pressures are so over-the-top, yet so shockingly realistic, that it should scare the crap out of you to realize people are really like that. Overall, Teannant's vulnerability in that episode made the show.

@bexter2001 Yeah. My friend likes to count the times when a "magic reset button" is used (everything goes back to the way it was through something pulled out at the last minute, like going back in time a year at the end of season 3). I think he found 3 major examples in the End of Time alone. Still, there are some real gems of scriptwriting in the Who mix, and I have hopes for Mr Moffat.

Difficulty with writing dr who in my opinion is there aren't enough limitations. The Dr can always get out of trouble with some science-fiction mumbo-jumbo, we all know it, so to create real suspense is tricky. Sometimes I felt Russell T Davies used the get-out-of-jail-with-magic-science-trick card a bit too often.
