#disclaimer im biased and you should all take my media criticism with a grain of salt

rtd's finales are badly stacked conflicts that are suddenly solved by deus ex machina (but that doesn't matter bc it's filled with genuinely beautiful & heartwrenching character writing that will make you forget about everything) and moffat's finales are convoluted nonsense that make you confused as to what the fuck you're even watching. technically neither of these are good but between these two poisons i will pick the former every time

#disclaimer im biased and you should all take my media criticism with a grain of salt #bc i genuinely do not care how well constructed a thing is if the character writing is good enough. #like that's all im there for. my senses are honestly kind of primed to enjoy rtd's style over anyone else's #dr who #the real question i ask myself is 'will moffat get better at writing finales in twelve's run' #and the answer i have for myself right now is 'hopefully it does in s10 bc i want it to be good' #but i am so absolutely not sure of this. #bc i can definitively say that inside man (2022) by moffat is like. by far the worst thing of his ive ever seen #so i cant use the 'he probably got better with time' reassurance. i think something is wrong with him #misc
