No, Moffat can't write. He's okay with flinty one liners but he can't build a narrative and he can't create characters - especially female ones - his lines for Amy, Riversong and Oswyn are completely interchangeable and are essentially one character - a chippy, flirtatious, smart-alecky woman - which we must suppose is the psychological female shadow of himself.
And because of the desperate need to keep everyone equally involved in the action.
The story is drained of even more tension.
