What Happens Next: A Gallimaufry

melancholic romantic comic cynic. bi & genderqueer. fantasy writer. sysrae on ao3.

plenty-of-paper asked: Thanks for your review/explanations Asylum of the Daleks! I was horrified by it but was gratified to see that I wasn't the only one who had problems with it. Then my dashboard blew up with DW fans defending Asylum and refusing to see why people might have problems with it, which makes me sad. I was hoping for reasoned discussion/debate instead of just "You're not a good fan of DW because you dare question/critique Steven Moffat." I can both love DW AND expect more of it, right?

You certainly can. Doctor Who doesn’t begin and end with Steven Moffat: yes, he’s done some great episodes, but he’s also brought some shitty themes to the table, and the latter are just as important to interpreting the show as the former.
