Quote: Matthew Stott @ May 31 2010, 12:49 PM BSTRTD was cerainly a more emotional writer, interested in wringing emotion and developing the characters; this was something that many complained about. Now that it appears Moffat does much less of it, you get the same people complaining about the lack of it! I'm not saying you Chip, just something I've noticed. Many are complaining about the lack of something In Moffats writing that they actually complained about being in RTD's writing at all!
I agree. And I thought some of the attacks on RTD were frankly bizarre and ridiculous. Before he came along, Doctor Who was dead in the water. He completely reanimated and made it into a must see Saturday night show again.
I just expected more of Moff. Although you could argue this is just the transition series where he makes his mistakes and finds his feet, and next year he'll really begin to fly.
