This is the year where I realised something ha...Ja. This is the year where I realised something had gone wrong. <br /><br />I don't really blame RTD or Moff. In many ways, they're the showrunners we deserve. I'm not one to bang on about the Good Old Days, but I think back to the classic series whose humility was held in check by an appalling budget. Parameters encourage creativity. If you take away all parameters and sprinkle in (sorry) slavish fanbase, a writer on the make can polish any turd and be called a genius... Remember Moffat telling us how he loved the West Wing BECAUSE it was fast-paced and unintelligible and forced him to fill in the blanks. Either he was trying to revolutionize the medium or convince us that his pre-digested chunks and internet memes were some high art.<br /><br />Another big problem is that Moffat has fallen into the trap of believing Doctor Who's run out of ideas just because HE has run out of ideas. There is a difference between being Trope-aware (Whedon at his best) and constantly tweaking the viewer's nose (and worst) because "it's all been done". Of course it's all been done, there is nothing new under the sun, it is your job to present it in a way which feels fresh and new. Don't draw on obscure past episodes to find loopholes justifying bending the characters into your desired shape.alihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18287658017103606748noreply@blogger.com
