Have a look at this blog post, for example, found via from the previous link. It correctly identifies the obvious current problem: Moffat sets up big story arcs that end with a pathetic, uninteresting and un-engaging deus ex machina fizzle. (And, I would argue, even the "stand alone" stories now frequently have pathetic resolutions.) From the last link:
Notably, both season five and season six end with a wacky aborted universe and a wedding. If there’s not a wedding and a wacky alternate universe at the end of season seven, I’ll be worried Stefan Moffat forgot to rip himself off. Now, I’m not saying Doctor Who should be a champion of stories that make sense all the time, but it should at least be consistent with its own mythology. The excellent Tennant/Davies era episode “The Waters of Mars” showed us the huge consequences (mostly emotional) when you screw with fixed points in time. These days that doesn’t mean jack shit, because the Doctor seems down with rewriting time whenever it suits the needs of the script.Rest the show. For 5 years.
I watched about two episodes of the new Doctor Who when it started, then gave it up back in Eccleston's time. It was the constant homosexual themes that put me off what is supposed to be a children's show e.g Captain Jack .
ReplyDeleteDoes you family know you spend most of your life when they're not around being a despised troll making an a-hole of yourself on someone's else's website -- you know, one with an actual audience?
ReplyDeleteActually, MCB, although I have frequently complained about the pan-sexual re-education program for children that the show represented under gay producer Russell T Davies (and which Moffat continued unabashed), in this current series, there has been a distinct lack of obvious sexual references.
ReplyDeleteLook up the definition of irony, Tom.
