abriefhistoryofwhoilove asked: Hey! I'll keep this short. Just read your addendum to your original Asylum post. I was one of those people who reblogged to add some counter-analysis. Wouldn't know if you read it but here's the post- (post/30785871829/what-happens-next-a-gallimaufry-doctor-who-asylum-of) I just want to say that while I did my best to counter a lot of your post I tried to keep it constructive and I do agree with you on a few things. Particularly with this new post in regard to continuity. Thanks if you see this!
Constructive disagreement is always welcome :)
I have a very love/hate relationship with Moffat’s writing - mostly hate, it must be said, but in keeping with the old saw about love and hate being two sides of the same coin, I only get as worked up as I do because underneath all the bullshit, he actually has some really cool ideas, a twisty brain and a flair for memorable banter. And on those rare occasions when he actually pulls it all off - like Blink or The Reichenbach Fall in Sherlock - the end result is a thing of immaculate beauty. And that’s why I get so angry; because he’s capable of so much better than the middling, sexist, lazily worldbuilt stories he defaults to when he seemingly can’t be bothered to work out the details - and if it were possible to make him understand that actually, yes, he does have a problem with sexist writing, and to recant and fix it appropriately, then damn could he do some cool stuff. But instead, we have reality, and so I rant on the internet.
