I would also still appreciate some danger.



A non-fan would likely do a better job than Moffat. I feel like one of the biggest issues with the show right now is that it's gone "too sci-fi" and painted itself into a corner where every story has to be moon dragons or Cyberman legions. It watches like a fanboy's fan fiction, and I've given Moffat too many second chances. So I'm done.

And lol at the false dichotomy that Moffat abd RTD are the only people in the world.

I mean more that if you remove the sci-fi props and stage-dressing, there's nothing substantial left.

Really good sci-fi tells a story through the lens of the fantastic, but it just feels like they're paying more attention to the lens than the story. Instead of "How can we use the Master* to tell a great story?" they're asking "What do we have to write to have the Master onscreen?"

(*Or Cybermen, or Clara, or whatever else.)
