#this One True Love bullshit is so entirelh inappropriate to dw and the reason ship wars are so stipid

"No one from dw likes him episodes" OK let's put it this way : there was recently a poll made by doctor who magazine about best dw episodes. Of the top 10, 6 were from nuwho, 4 from classic who. Of the nuwho episodes, a whopping FIVE were from Moffat including the top two episodes of all time. You can see it's a little bit more complicated than "no one likes his writing". Even on tumblr (the most hostile to moffat part of the fadom imo) when that Best Doctor Who Episode poll was going on (it stopped now for some reason) at the quarter finals there was 8 stories, 4 by Moffat, 3 from Davies and one by another guy (Robert Shearman for Dalek) . I am BEGGING you to please form your own opinion on things like, generally, but on Moffat writing especially because there is a lot of divided opinion on his dw work but I don't know anybody alive deny that at least occasionally he fucking rocked dude.

(ALSO if you go into something thinking it will suck you're very likely to be a lot more critical of it and enjoy it less and it might ruin your dw watching experience because Moffat wrote like, a SHIT TON of episodes. Wrote more episodes of this show than anybody else in those 60 years)

Btw this episode won a Hugo award. Lmao.

Yeah nobody sane think the doctor is a pedo/groomer but some people are really rabid in their hatred of Moffat (the reasons why are a mystery to me but then i wasn’t on tumblr in the superwholock days) and will just twist everything in the most obviously bad faith reading possible.

doctor who people what are your thoughts on The Girl in the Fireplace
