I couldn't believe after all these years you didn't know me any better than that

Now that I've caught up on this week's TV, I have one thing to say: it's a sad and strange day when the start of SPN's new season blows the Who finale out of the water on my squee meter.

Someone wake me up when Moffat steps down please.

Sad but true. Don't know what he's up to.

selenak pretty much hit the nail on the button with what she says here. (http://selenak.livejournal.com/725437.html#cutid1)

specifically this bit:

And, to end where I started, the overall sense that the finale as well as the season resulted from Moffat making a list of "things that would be cool to see on Doctor Who" and then tried to come up with a plot to justify them rather than thinking "these are the characters I have to work with; how could they develop and where do I want to go with them?".

THIS. WHAT SHE SAID. SO MUCH. And that's an arse-backwards way to make drama.
