I hate that Kylie xmas special- got a few good moments but its so typical RTD. London, an unexplained implausability- why did an alien race build a space liner and call it Titanic?
Moffat takes the piss out that episode- just before the xmas episode (the kylie ep was a xmas one ) the Doctor gets a phone call- "An egyptian goddess, lose on the Orient Express. In space."

I see the opening to 11th hour precredits as being a dig at RTD too- its full of his troepes- London landmarks, corny jokes and explosions. Even the way it is shot and lit is completely different to Moffats Who, which really begins after the credits.

Midninght is the episode you are thinking of Mrs Figg- a superb episode. I'd also include the Family of Blood two parter as being among 10's best (where he becomes John Smith).

oh give over! Kylie was great, it was really moving and I liked it lots, or you saying all Moffats plots are plausable, what the fuck is plausable about a giant wild boar running round a hotel? cumon its all WILDLY implausable thats why we love it, dont get snobby between Moffat and the other writers, its all Who and its all good stuff.

Its not plausabiltiy only - its coherence within the framework of the stroy, thats my problem with RTD. He sets stuff up, then either forgets about it, or just 'solves' it.
Look at the Bad Wolf thing- it popped up throughout, but there was no way for the viewer to work out what it was about because he never gave any clues and the solution came out of left field and was just plucked out the air it seemed. A deux ex machina solution.
He did the same with Master stroy- huge problem, episode cliffhanger- solved with a literal wave of the hand of a character who hadnt even been introduced in the first part.
I simply prefer Moffats who actually gives you all the info you need to work it out. Its more fun I think to play along, to try to put it all together and figure it out.
This is one of those matters of tatse things- RTD's writting was not really to my tatse. Moffats is.

All Who is Who, but some eras I prefer to others.
Thats true for me of Classic Who as well. I am not a fan of the Pertwee era, not because the writing is poor, theres some good stuff in there, but because of how they saw the Doctor and the setting they chose.
I also think the writing is poor for 3/4 of the McCoy era, even though I like his Doctor. And large chunks of Colin Bakers run suffer from poor writing as well.
These are of course merely my own tastes in writing styles. Who can alter quite dramtically with a change of Head Writer- as it did from the RTD to Moffat era.

But Moffat is the first Head Writer to change the mood and the style, and even the series format, series to series. Series 5 and 6 are quite different in tone and content even though the overall story is linked. He also split 6 in two halves with a gap in transmission of several months between the two.
It is a risky and bold strategy but for me Moffat has so far pulled it off with style. But again thats just my prefrence in styles.

No worries Norc. You are doing amazingly well as is, a break will do you no harm.
And no better place to break than between series- just imagine you've had to wait about 2 months - then watch the xmas special- then have another break and imagine its been a wait of about 4 months- then watch the first half of series 6- have another break and pretend its been for another 3 months- then watch the second half of series 6- then take a last break and pretend its been another 2 months- and watch the series 6 xmas special- after all that you will not only be up to date but you will have an idea of what Moffat puts us through in waiting. Its not just Sherlock fans he does this too- he seems to delight in it.

well Moffat writes Sherlock in a style I love, but Who has left me cold from the time Tennant left. The only episode I liked was the Christmas one set in the 40s, I just dont get it, its obviously a question of taste or something, dunno what it is. Its annoying. Shocked

It is a shame Mrs Figg but these things as are they are, inexplicable sometimes- its like me and the Pertwee era, I like the actor (adored Worzel Gummidge) a lot of the writing is very good (Inferno for one) but overall I just dont connect with it. It doesnt feel like Who to me somehow.

Now, here's just some of my thoughts on just one of the many elements Moffat weaves into Who. Its just a general overview of a theme in series 5 for folks consideration..

Series 5 Collectively

Mrs Figg wrote:I like Tennant too, he was excellent, and in some of my all time favourite episodes, like the stone angels and the one where they are all stuck in a pod thing and they just talk, cant remember the name of the episode. also he has my favourite assistants, Rose and Martha. the brilliant Sally and Kylie I mean. Razz

KYLIE cheers

Sounds like I have a lot to look forward to. Very Happy

I am just gearing up to watching all the Donna episodes, I have a feeling I will like her. Very Happy I need to find Runaway Bride first though.
I really wish I could like Matt, I do try, maybe it will be different with this new girl.

I really liked Donna in the two episodes I've seen so far. I've got nothing against Matt but I really, really liked Tennant so far. There were a number of similarities in their demeanors though, it seemed, which makes sense since they're basically the same character.

There ar elinks to the episodes Mrs Figg mentions save the Kylie one somewhere on here. The angels one is called Blink. And is the debut of Moffats Weeping Angles. And the other episode she refers to is Midnight. Its a beauiful simple, small scale few actors in a room Sofa episode.

I will try to trakck down the runaway bride for you Mrs Figg.

I've heard of Blink before and am quite curious about it.

I loved Moffat's writing in Silence in the Library with only a few minor quibbles (mostly things seeming a bit rushed) so if he wrote Blink to I expect I'll enjoy it very much. Smile

oh do watch Blink Eldo, I was quite surprised how simply facinating it is, and there is SALLY, my nearly all time favourite, apart from Rose. Tennant is pretty damn brilliant.

How Petty doesnt like Kylie in that other episode I will never understand, she is super cute. flower

An interview with Neve McIntosh she played 2 parts in the Silurian two parter and came back as a different Silurian in series 6.



If you dont want any series 6 spoilers on the character she plays in it stop watching at 13 mins.

I just realised I made a mistake in my short piece on fairytale- the Dalek episode does have a fairytale motif. Sneaky bugger Moffat he makes it so you cant see the trees for the wood!
