As Jane Espenson was to Joss Whedon so Moffat is to Davies.

Good at a certain kind of writing, under strict control; pure “progressive” fanwank poison when left unattended in the kitchen.

It is another nail in the Doctor Who coffin. Moffat was a good writer under RTD, writing some of the best stories. However, as a Head Writer, he is truly awful! His over obsession with Amy, Clara is Amy mark 2, is dragging the series down. He has not got a companion for the Doctor and never before has the Doctor gone running after a companion in the appalling way the current and previous Doctor has. His idea’s are getting awful, the Moon as an Egg??? Really!!! How bad does it have to get before he goes.

Even if the Yes vote eventually overtakes the early and quite phenomenal acceleration of the No vote, it won’t change my opinion unfortunately.

I’m not close minded. I watched every episode of Series 8 waiting for that Doctor Who feeling, but sadly it didn’t happen. In Series 9, I will be doing the same thing. I don’t like Steven Moffat, but if he can write or someone else can write a decent episode, I will be more than happy to give him credit as I have in the past.

The problem is, as time goes on, the things he’s done wrong stick in my mind and increase more than the things he’s done right.

This all just reminds me of another Sci-Fi franchise that completely and utterly disregarded one audience for the green grass of a new one and when they did that, I completely left it behind. I’d rather not be forced to do that with Doctor Who.

I am also glad that this counts as one more defeat for the Tumblr STFUMOffat crowd.

Moffat brought us Capaldi (long may he reign), so I am all for many mroe years of Moffat.

So sad, to find out that he is staying until season 10. The show needs somebody new, with new ideas.

I thought my problem with seasons 5-7 was Moffat…after Smith and Gillan laft, I realized I had no problem with Moffat at all. I don´t mind him staying – we had a lots of new writers last year and this year, so what´s the big deal?

I’m generally more of a fan of Moffat than RTD, and I thought season 8 was one of the best.
But even I think Moffat is outstaying his welcome a bit. I am looking forward to the future when everything turns into “bring back Moffat!” Down with *insert new show runner here*. :) How quickly people forget the RTD hate when he was still producing the show.

Still, I guess I’m comfortable with the devil I know. Who knows what the future will bring?

I am a fan of Moff, but his time is past. He just leaves to much holes in his writing (and admits it and says it is up to the fans to fix the problem)and inconstancy in what he lets go on in the show. Every dog has his day and Moff ha his, time for someone with more progressive ideas for Who.
