A friend of mine recently opened my eyes to a very salient point regarding Stephen Moffat; that is, that he can produce magnificent work, but that it's sporadiche chooses projects to pour himself into. If he focuses on a single project, it can turn out brilliantlyhe had, after all, written a number of very successful one-off episodes of "Doctor Who" before he took over as show runner, and Sherlock has been more-or-less consistently good. In any case, we know that Stephen Moffat will remain show runner for this eighth series. All I'm asking for, then, is that he doesn't write every other episodewe've seen him do this to disastrous results. He stretches his ideas too thin, doesn't flush out his ideas or characters, and so on and so forth. I would like to see some new writers step in to tackle some episodesperhaps they will be less influenced by Moffat, or will bring some legitimately fresh ideas to the table (Moffat keeps telling us this will happen, but I don't think we've really seen it).
