I've rewatched it.. okay, I've rewatched the scene in Buckingham Palace about sixty-four times and never touched the rest of it.
Completely agreed, omg. Moffat's plots SUCK -- they have massive, huge plot-holes just barely covered over in ~timey-wimey~ and shiny and whatever he thinks is "scary", he takes characters waaay out of character to suit whatever badly-done story he wants to tell, he's a sexist asshole and it shows in everything he writes, his characters are shallow as a puddle after a spring rain at best, he reuses the same plot devices over and over and over, and even the "clever" dialogue everyone says they love isn't very clever. He is a TERRIBLE writer. He's just very good at distracting his audience from noticing how terrible he is by rushing everything too fast, showing all kinds of ~shiny shit to confuse and astound, and making up loads of fairy tale monsters to keep people from looking too hard at the plot.
I can't wait until he's no longer showrunner on Doctor Who. Unfortunately, considering his attitude about it... I don't think it'll be anytime soon. I think he'll hold on to that for as long as he can, and run it so far into the ground in the meantime that it's unrecognizable. I honestly can't see him willingly giving up DW unless he's allowed to completely end it, forever, when he goes.

Yeah, that scene's really fun. There IS some stuff in it I like, but I have to ff/skip/whatever too much stuff for it to be worth keeping.

He also does it to make his own characters look good, Like Eleven being all excited about River shooting the Silents in "Day of the Moon". The Doctor even mentions how much he hates guns and would usually not be happy with how... enthusiastic she is about it. But since it's River fucking Song, it's fine! Moffat, you do realize acknowledging your terribly OOC writing doesn't excuse it, right? Ya goddamn hack...
