and we have had plenty of those in the Moffat era. Whether you think they are any good is up to personal taste but even taking S7...
Asylum of the Daleks Dinosaurs on a SpaceShip A Town Called Mercy The Power of Three Cold War Hide The Crimson Horror None of these stories relied at all upon 'Timey Wimey' plots and were entirely straight forward Doctor Who episodes. So there you go. Balance. Where the whole time travel aspect is largely irrelevant once they get to their location. So your comment that 'the whole show shouldn't rely on this' is shown as untrue because it clearly doesn't. |

I think that the notion of over-reliance on timey-wimey is more geared at the story arcs that span the whole series rather than the individual episodes. I don't know whether I agree or not as some of my favourite episodes have been timey-wimey-centric though I do hope we have a chronological story arc for Series 8... there's no escaping the fact that the last three series arcs have used the concept heavily, particularly the last two which both had series finales that were essentially the events that set everything we'd already seen in motion

in RTD's time it was about 3 bad or mediocre ep's to 9 good one's, now, judging my opinion on series 6 & 7 it's more like 7 good one's to 6 either bad or mediocre one's.

And judging by my opinion it's the other way around. The thing about giving groundless, taste-based opinions is that they're not interesting to anyone but the person giving them.
