The problem with the Steven Moffat era;
The problem is that none of the creatures are ever explained anymore. I honestly
Don't remember when the last time a creature actually was explained and had a reason to invade? The creatures that won come out until all is dead- what were they? Those graffiti things - wtf?! Why were they on earth and what were they? The thing in the school? The house? The. Thing from hide? The silence creatures? Also he never explains how the doctor got into the mess and meets people (the bank robbing one) His era is a rushed mess. Why be an EP if you can be bothered to explain anything in the era. I'd actually rather rtd back with his soppy in love with the doctor companions, at least the monsters and the backstory explained I. Some way. Moffats Episodes I. His era were so much better then the crap he spits out today. I have about list interest and on the verge of switching off. Moffat should stick to odd episodes and not be an EP. Time to be replaced. |

Plus school children and family's are pretty much given trips at the drop of a hat when te doctor would always refuse and he always drops off his companions when they are supposed to travel then companion give up. This new way is pathetic and wish he would have no control of where the tardis went like in the first doctors doctors era

Have you ever watched any of those episodes more than once?
Do you watch any other sci-fi with a similar range of new creatures each series? If so, what are they and have they all been completely clear and unambiguous to you? |

Why are they supposed to travel with him all the time so they are not supposed to see their family's and friends for years and years that makes The Doctor sound very selfish as it's either me or your family and if your family are more important to you then piss off. |

All I'm reading is YOUR problem. It's certainly not THE problem or even A problem. And anyway, we were told this week's monsters were from a two dimensional universe. So: explained.
Who needs everything explained any more than that, really? I don't. Moving on... |

Oh dear, mate seriously you're having a mare. Watch the episodes again and actually LISTEN this time instead of just noting down everything you want to complain about. Ta.

I think Moffat explains his monsters very well, in fact he explains them too well quite often. I was sick of the angels the last time we saw them. I don't want them to have any new powers thanks.
What he doesn't explain are his bloody plots. Why the hell did the Silence blow up the TARDIS? They were only trying to kill the Doctor to save the Universe but how does destroying it before the Doctor gets a chance help? Also, how did they manage to blow it up? Not explained. |

That Tardis has become TOO reliable!! Boring! ![]() Bring back what Joe Gillot says - and have it more like a mystery sci-fi series like in the old days......Who knows where they are?? The companions can still come and go! |

The biggest problem with the Moffat era is no Gay Agenda. I miss the Gay Agenda.

The biggest problem with the Moffat era is that it can't have much longer left.

I think the biggest problem with Neighbours is that it never really explains where Australians come from. Why do they want to live on a cul-de-sac?

Eh, this was explained. The Kovarian cult rebelled from the papal mainframe and went back in time along the doctors timeline to try and stop him reaching trenzalore to ensure he couldn't bring back the timelords. Not everything needs a how, so what difference does it make to the story how it was done, but you got your why.

Also, if some group can just magically blow up the TARDIS, you bet your ass I want to know how they did it. You're right, not everything needs a how, I can live with a lot of minor things but this is blowing up the ONLY constant thing that has ever been in Doctor Who. This is one of the things that needed an explanation. |

I'm not seeing a preponderance of aged people, besides the big D himself.
Orson and Clara were both 50,000,000,000 years old in Listen, Vastra remembered having a pet rexxie and moonchicken was a mere baby at 100,000 years of age. Another couple of episodes and "mad man in a box" may have a very different meaning. Bloody Moffat! |
