I haven't watched any of this season of Doctor Who, but it just seems like it was a mess from the reviews and summaries I read over the course of the season.

I think Moffat has a lot of brilliant ideas, but does not know how to put then in a logical or strategic order, and he ultimately lacks an ability to put a solid coherent plot together.

Personally I think he is a better staff writer than show runner. It's why Sherlock has Mark Gatis as a show runner; too to help Moffat reign in his Moffatisms. Plus Sherlock has a few books for him to follow as an outline and he ca. just adapt the stories for modern times.

Yet, with Doctor Who he has to come up with wholly original ideas and he just falls flat 80% of the time. Either way after Christmas his tenure is over, and maybe the show will get better, or it couldn't worse.
