Hm. As has been made obvious by your extensive previous commentary, mate, nothing's going to change your mind about this, but...
Plot holes, yes, rapid characterization shifts, yes, but this is nothing worse than what RTD used to pull multiple times a series. I'm not a Moff cheerleader by any stretch of the imagination, but I'm not sure why you're expecting anything consistently better than the New Who status quo with the occasional gem. I know, I know, believe one can do better, right?
And hell, sometimes they do. Mostly they don't.
Personally, I can forgive quite a bit for a good concept (thank god for some non-plotarc science fiction in my SF show) and atmosphere, and part of the fun is reworking it in my brain to make it better 'cos I'm a media wonk. I'm one of Those People who thinks Moffat has issues this pregnancy thing can only end badly, but you don't see people like me coming in and squee-harshing by nit-picking every point where agency's been lost or diversity's been ignored, and not putting it behind a cut.
If you've given up trying to care, why exactly do you feel the need to let us know, if not for hubris?
David Simon does not run Doctor Who, and other stories
