Doctor Who Series Preview
I control you all. Fear me. Bow down to me.
I agree he's phenomenal with what he did with the season 6, maybe in The Doctor Dances two parter. But definitely with Sherlock.
Till the end of the line.
He wrote Sherlock? That explains it! I always thought the Doctor was like Sherlock in a way, being amazingly smart and all that. Thought I'm sure all Time Lords are like that.
Moffat writes like that? I never really notice the quality of writing unless it's super, super lame.
Are you saying "The Time of Angels" is like that?

Probably; granted, it's been awhile since I've seen season 5, but I still maintain that he often seems to try and have a real exciting plot, while writing the characters doing things that were usually out of character, or just in support of the plot and not making us care about them. It's possible to have both a good plot and characters you love
and by Sherlock I mean the BBC British show, Sherlock.

Maybe the Silence caused the TARDIS to explode to form the cracks in time so that they could conquer every dimension.

That seems more like something the Daleks would do and they were convincedAeva wrote:Maybe the Silence caused the TARDIS to explode to form the cracks in time so that they could conquer every dimension.
The cracks in time are the work of the Doctor. It is confirmed.

The cracks in time were caused by the TARDIS exploding. For some reason, this caused two time pieces that should never have touched, to touch, thereby creating the cracks in time. I guess the only way to fix it again was to make the two pieces of time touch again, which reversed the damage. Or something. A lot more confusing than I thought it was.
In regards to the 'Character depth dying because of too complicated plots' discussion: Watch Amy's Choice there's a complicated plot with plenty of character development.

Ooh! That one was good! Kinda confusing, but aren't a lot of them?Astronomer wrote:The cracks in time were caused by the TARDIS exploding.

You are somewhat right, but something caused the TARDIS to explode and we don't know what.Astronomer wrote:The cracks in time were caused by the TARDIS exploding.

Could the Silence have caused the TARDIS to explode? Or maybe they drove the Doctor to the end of his rope, and he then blew her up out of desperation. (Bit of a long shot, but one never knows with Steven Moffat lol.)

Yes, the Doctor did blow it up, but that was the second time, to erase the time cracks. Could that have somehow carried over to the first time? So the reason the TARDIS exploded was to stop the cause of the explosion? Now that is a mind-boggler...Aeva wrote:Could the Silence have caused the TARDIS to explode?

This is probably part of the reason we only get four episodes this year... it all has to wrap up.
Love you always, SnC

Moffat probably won't wrap it up. Still, I could be wrong.Termite wrote:This is probably part of the reason we only get four episodes this year... it all has to wrap up.
And, there are still going to be more episodes next year, too... They are just spreading them over all winter.

I know, but still. They're getting rid of Amy and Rory, so I feel like it could kinda be a milestone... eh, we'll see.
Love you always, SnC

Only four episodes to start? hmmm...I wonder how the Pond legacy will end. Not that I'm terribly sorry to see them go they're okay, I liked Rory (and Amy when she wasn't flirting with the Doctor)
Till the end of the line.

Completely agree about Amy. Also, I like Rory, but he was only in around every other episode because he kept dying! He died around four times during the last two seasons!Shennifer wrote:Only four episodes to start? hmmm...I wonder how the Pond legacy will end.
