jaybushman: theroseinbloom: blodia: timelady-of-the-asgardian-opera: Moffat’s the kind of writer who likes watching you suffer through his intricate plot twists and turns. RTD was the kind of writer who snuck up behind you, dropped a bombshell, and then ran away cackling into the night. i just… love this show. i love this showwwwwwwww.  THIS …and while RTD was sneaking up behind you, he tried distracting you with a bunch of nonsensical noise. Honestly I appreciate Moffat’s plot intricacies a lot more than RTD’s semi-slapped-on “bombshells.” Yes, I liked this moment - and yes, it made me gasp - but it was also really cheap in the same way that LOST’s moments were cheap. There was no build-up, no thought behind it, just the taking advantage of a coincidence. Kudos for identifying it, but I appreciate the effort in crafting an intentional bombshell over several episodes or seasons a lot more than I do the ability to identify a coincidental one. With Moffat, I feel he’s writing a novel, and while what happens in chapter three might not pay off until chapter twenty, when it does you immediately look back and see all the clues that got you there. His seasons and arcs are epic in the non-internet manner of speaking - filled with stakes and twists and turns and implications that nearly all actually get resolved in the end. Moffat’s seasons feel like a thousand curved lines each connecting to two single points - they spread apart from each other along their journey, but everything comes crashing back together at the end. I can appreciate that kind of craftsmanship.
