Steven Moffat is taking over Doctor Who. I may be the only one not turning cartwheels over this, but while I certainly love his individual episodes, I don't think he does such a great job of keeping track of continuity between episodes, or keeping characters consistent. He's undoubtedly a fantastic writer, but I don't understand why it's assumed that means that he will make a fantastic showrunner


I'll give him a chance anyway, and it will be good to get more episodes from him at least. Would he write the same amount that RTD does now?

Yep, I don't want to give a definitive opinion one way or the other at the moment. It's all the fandom celebration that has me wondering why SM is just being granted fandom worship as if the roles of writer/showrunner co-exist. He is still unproven as showrunner at the moment after all

It's definitely an awesome opportunity for him though, and I do hope that he proves my doubts wrong :)
