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

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.

[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

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!

@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.

[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

[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,
