Well that’s because calling his stories complex is quite frankly letting him off too easily - there’s a difference between complex and deliberately inscrutable

See Steven Moffat subscribes to a school of writing previously made famous by JJ Abrams and the rest of the dinguses who wrote Lost in that he understands that being deliberately obtuse about your plot is a cheap and effective way to make people watch your dumb show

I really hate to be that guy singing Russel T Davies’ praises right now because, as Last of the Time Lords, Journey’s End and The End of Time effectively demonstrate, good god is he by no means a perfect writer

But! But but but butt butte he understood that a good story is a good story and that good characters make you care about that good story and what Moffat does instead is beat you about the ears with the same stupid unanswerable questions in an effort to hold you hostage and show up for next week’s episode - and they’re not unanswerable due to complexity, they’re unanswerable because there’s no fucking way you’d know the answer to those questions. What are the Silence? How does River Song know The Doctor? What’s The Doctor’s real name? I don’t feel like watching Sherlock so I can include a Sherlock related question in this list I’m riffing?

There’s a point in all this, I’ll get to it right now

It’s this: if you’ve been paying attention to Steven Moffat’s style of writing you’d have known for ages leading up to this headline that he has no respect for his audience

He’s not a master of “mind-fuck”, he’s a master of “hahaha fuck you”

The more I read about Moffat, the more of a pretentious fuckwad he seems to be.

I hate that Moffat is making it so fucking difficult for people like me to defend him

Its getting harder to shut my brain off and just scream “but season five! season fiiiiiveee!!!” when he verbally shits all over the place.

This right here. Being inscrutable != complex story-telling.

People who think insulting their audience is a good way to increase viewership are “presumably fairly stupid.”

your plots aren’t complex, they’re lazy and sexist, and don’t make any sense.

season five was entertaining, but six just makes me roll my eyes.

except for the neil gaiman epsiode. that one was awesome.

this is so cute but

seriously check your grammar please please please

there is a difference between “affect” and “effect”

do you realize you’re correcting the grammar of a dog

do you realize dogs can’t actually write or verbalize opinions

do you realize joke

do you realize double joke

oh snap do you realize triple joke
