Steven Moffat interview he wants you to forget 2

[sallyjosie]

sounds like a bad Python sketch. "River you were psychotic, willing to let the whole universe die unless the Dr married you, you were a stalker, what happened? River: I got better

[sallyjosie]

this stupid.

Now, if it turns out that his name has been turned into a password that will activate some sort of doomsday device then that would at least make sense. anything else will probably make most of us laugh our butts off at moffat. Just like we did during the last series. I mean come on! All that BS spewing out of Rivers mouth in the last ep? HILARIOUS! nothing that psycho bitch said or did had anything to do with love. And only a complete moron would think that the Dr could heal her

[sallyjosie]

to be to not recognize a woman who is clearly insane. those who deny this FACT are obviously not playing with a full-deck. rme

And now this BS about the Doctor's name?! WTF?!! Heeeelellllooooo!! Earth to morons! The Dr didn't start using the Dr moniker until he ran away from Gallifrey. if his name is so powerful then why they hell didn't his real name cause the universe to end every time someone in his family or at school called him by his REAL NAME! Man It's hard to believe there are people

[sallyjosie]

Right after the jackass at the end proceeded to put his foot in his mouth again. And now the sob is ruining Doctor Who by forcing the Dr to marry a gross ugly stalking sociopathic horror from hell? I know they say opposites attract but they are talking about PERSONALITIES not fn morals! River is a psycho. anyone denying that is either a blithering idiot or is themselves a psycho. I've looked up several definitions of a sociopath, she matches 90% of them!!! Helllo! Just how obtuse does one need

[jimmerhoft]

I think it should be pointed out that this "interview" was actually Andy Lane, Paul Cornell, David Bishop, and Steven Moffat sitting in a bar mostly discussing the Virgin New Adventures. In fact Steven had to be prodded a couple of times into saying something. And for what it's worth Moffat has said about himself in the interview he "was so far up [himself], [he's] surprised anyone heard what [he] was saying."

[sallyjosie]

Wow I see the same old clueless classless loser trolls are coming on here to babble out of their rear-ends! LOL! What a loser! Funny how arrogant pricks attract fans with the same nasty disposition. Just like the creepy, gross, sociopathic stalker from hell River Song attracts some of the creepiest psychotic fans. And Old Who is a thousands time better then this new crap. Endless story arcs, slutty female companions. A psychotic stalker who thinks she's the dr's wife. YUCK!

[sallyjosie]

married couples have no on-screen chemistry, so I don't see why their fans take it so personally everytime I or someone else points this fact out. Sorry but she looks more like his mother then a girlfriend. The whole relationship is a sick joke. I think the Storm cage is an insane asylum for the criminally insane. If so, maybe Moffat ought to be placed in there. lol just kidding

[sallyjosie]

that the male character was nothing but a male chauvinist pig. But for some reason Moffat seems to think this behavior is acceptable simply because its coming from a woman towards a man? I think not! And now I hear rumors that River is going to force the Dr to marry her at gun point. How sick (if true) is that? This is no great romance. The whole thing is simply too gruesome to be credible. They have no chemistry, which has nothing to do with their looks or their acting capabilities. Some,

[sallyjosie]

a Black Queen is capable of behaving with honor and dignity like Queens who are white? Kidding. He again, didn't think things through. Of course his sole childish goal was to make fun of the Royal family. And his whole obsession with the river song story has gotten so out of hand that even people who like river are saying enough is enough. No, Never liked her but mainly because she's a female chauvinist pig. If a man treated a woman like that, there would be women everywhere screaming...

[sallyjosie]

which would be incest. Now I don't actually think he advocates incest. I just think like a lot of pin-heads (high IQ NO common sense) he doesn't think things through. Or how about in the Beast Below? I have NO problem with a black queen. Heck they say the Queen of Sheba was Black. So accusations (by others) of being a racist is really stupid. I don't care per se. My problem is that its just too over the top to be believable. Plus why did he have her acting like a chamber-maid? doesn't he believe

[drewismynick]

Moffat was hitting his divorce really hard when that interview happened. It was around the time of Joking Apart. Trust me, when you are divorcing, all you wanna do is burn things, even things you love. There was no part of this interview that made me think he didn't love Doctor Who.

And he is right: there's no old Doctor Who i can think of showing friends that have never seen it and convincing them it's brilliant. Now New Who... I can think of many , and they almost all written by this man.

[arfived4]

Old Who is like Godzilla - it's clunky, in places poorly done and in others cheesy, but somehow it works and that's what gives it its charm. I guess I don't really consider much of this "criticism"

[JackWProductions]

@arfived4 Actually no old who is not like Godzilla (well it is in in terms of awesomeness and effects) Dr who is more well written and better acted (Not saying that Godzilla isn't) the special effects were never the important part it was the storys, the characters and the monsters, old Dr who is more like the original Star Trek series, the original Star Wars trilogy and the original Battlestar Galactica tv series but I think we can all agree that all of them are awsome ;)

[sallyjosie]

@JackWProductions absolutely! Sorry if you like the new stuff. Okay I can say this now, when I'm not being attacked by a bunch of psychotic fans. I'm saying this first because if you happen to stumble across other comments made by me, you would see me being quite nasty. But its usually after weeks of fighting with someone. ANYWAY, Moffat does have some talent. BUT he always adds something so stupid that it ruins the story for me. Like the 2-headed alien who wanted to marry itself in...

[ZipZagginGallifrey]

@JackWProductions For fucks sake man, Old Who is NOT better acted, with the exception of some eras stories where the writing and directing was impeccable, Old Who was full of hammy performances from actors completly flubbing their lines (Hartnell, as Moffat points out) or phoning it in completly (Pertwee, and Tom in his final years) and don't tell me stories like "Timelash, "Battlefeild"" and "Time Flight" are classics.

[jennyinthepark]

"Pot and kettle you bloody hypocrite!" LOL

[2012smartypants]

He loves Doctor Who now that he is writing for the show. We watch because we love the show as it was. Not the childish soap opera crap that both Russel and Moffat saddle us with everytime. And the failed comedy was 'Joking Apart'. A stupid concept written by a stupid man.

[drewismynick]

@2012smartypants Joking apart was brilliant. That show is tightly written for what it is. And it was different and extremely personal. Yes, its a farce-based brit-com in structure, but it hit on some places, deep places, that only divorced men know about. If you didn't "get" it, be glad, because the life experiences you need to "get" Joking Apart fucking suck to live through :)

[ZipZagginGallifrey]

@2012smartypants And yet he's the one making the show a success and winning awards all while you complain bitterly that the show no longer resembles a cheap, badly-acted and outdated load of kids tosh from the 1970s. Poor you. Fuck off, let the real fans enjoy the show

[sitbunnynow]

I love Steven Moffat so much. I love that he calls himself pompous.

[uncled39]

I still can't believe this interview is real. No man could ever be as arrogant and full of self importance as this c*nt appears to be.

[sallyjosie]

If anyone can stomach going over to series 6 trailer, you should check it out. Series 6 looks even more stupid then sereis 5. I know, who would have thought it even possible. Just how low are the standards of some of our fellow Dr Who fans? I'm sorry but they must be very easily amused. Their family and friends probably just buy them a ball of yarn for their birthdays and holdiays. I have a wee bit higher standards. I actually want the storyline to make sense. Silly me. 

[Runrome]

if new who had tried to follow The Hincliff/Homes blue print it would have been axed after one season love him or hate him RTD touchy feel band of drama that mimics American imports is the only formula that will succeed kind of thing the illiterate public with a one minute attention span

[paulmorris7777]

Please join my CLASSIC DOCTOR WHO FANS WHO HATE NEW WHO group on facebook.

[paulmorris7777]

Why was he being interviewed about DW, anyway? This was back in 1995!!!

[CallanPage]

Thing, I actually agree with everything said in this interview. For all of the magic of classic Doctor Who, it was largely a shambles. Compare any episode with another another programme of the same year, you'll notice that Doctor Who has always behind behind in the times.

Even in 2005, the effects were laughable in comparison with stuff seen on Stargate or Battlestar. I'm not saying Doctor Who was rubbish, but you did have to work alot harder as a viewer to make the worlds believable.

[paulmorris7777]

Doctor Who never had a budget until 2005.

As for the Rat, its not in it that long.

[paulmorris7777]

Prick!

[icemachine79]

How professional of him to call fellow TV people 'hacks'. I also love how he complains about the special effects in the old series considering how terrible the CGI has been in series 5. I still think Moffat's scripts are the best written for NuWho, but his production abilities aren't any better than RTD. Apparently neither is his humility, or lack thereof.

[drdalek]

@icemachine79 Ironic that he wrote a Comic Relief Who episode a few years later. O_o

[kriswright]

Ha ha. The Moff raises some good points about the original series in that '95 interview, despite his stupidly abusive and self-important tone. He takes it too far, of course, but I like how he came back with the Rat when the interviewer tried to throw Talons in his face. A very funny interview.

[LegoDaleks]

@kriswright Yeah but he makes it seem like there's no way the BBC could pull off a realistic giant rat, but who can? Not even Hollywood who would just throw lots money at it just to CGI it, which in the end looks less realistic than the BBC one. I remember when I was a kid being afraid of the rat but being utterly unconvinced by the CGI rats in Red Dwarf 8 episode 1.

[kriswright]

@LegoDaleks Yeah, but that's just Moffat's point. Robert Holmes should have known the BBC couldn't pull it off and, considering how unimportant the rat ultimately is to the story, he should have axed it. I mean, you can Ignore the Rat and all that. Talons is still great. Holmes isn't a hack by any stretch. But I do believe including the rat was a uncharacteristic misstep on his part.

[clivebull1]

"OK, I agree, Shakespeare is not as good as Doctor Who". Haha, Moffat's sarcasm doesn't really come across in this reconstruction.

[neomp5]

i agree with what he said about the old series.

[SuperEuripides]

Dear Lord, Moffat's so concerned about what people might think of him. Needs to grow a backbone.

[pikopikochuu]

which raises the question, why are you fucking watching it then?

[MacJaxonManOfAction]

"The Moff" XD Give me a f'king break

[Stuartdouglas19]

so basically:

first interview: Doctor who is rubbish

second interview: oh did I say that, sorry I wasn't involved then - now I am, I think it's brilliant

[midianholic]

The Moff is allowed his views. Fair play to him for acknowledging he was wrong with his views in 1995.

[clivebull1]

@midianholic But he wasn't wrong.

[midianholic]

@clivebull1 Of course he was you stupid cunt. He has admitted as such.
