DW again...Moffat...and a blog link

[rabid1st]

I must say this STAGE blogger sums up my feelings on the change very well.

I do hope RTD gets to wrap up his Rose/Doctor love story in a happy ribbon, because things are going to change and change goes down better when one song has clearly ended well. I can think of nobody better than Moffat to take on the task of stepping into RTD's boots...but I also think that there will be some jarring to the fandom when we make the tone switch. Even people who love Moffat's work might find they long for the emo and the overarching storylines that they've enjoyed with RTD. The break year is a very good idea, as I've said and hopefully, it is a break year to happy purpose.

I think a number of factors came into play for the break year -- there'd been rumors RTD was leaving, DT wanted to do Hamlet, they'll be better for a break for the new team to plan and figure out where they're going.

One of the show's strengths is its ability to shift, change dramatically and keep going. Always has been and it's good to see it continuing.

After reading the blog, I must agree that one of my favourite aspects of this show is the variety we get in the writing. One episode will be pure cracky fun, the next a historical drama, next a romance, next a horror, space adventure, relationship focussed, etc. This appeals to a very wide audience and it also means you never get bored of the show.

Now as for Moffat, I'm really curious as to what this change in boss means. Will we only see a change in writing style or is the show going to get a complete make-over? Complete make-over as in new editors, cinematographers, etc., the whole shebang. That'd be intersting to see.
