So I've been listening to "Pancho and Lefty" rather too much. This led to vague thoughts linking it with DW sometime in the future. Then it somehow occured to me how much better it would work like this

I love the spaghetti Western opening! I've never seen "The Gunslingers" serial (first Doctor I think?), but it evidently is in the running for Worst Episode Ever, but I think that a Western setting could have worked very well, at least with Nine because of the whole Alex Cox connection and the fact that CE can carry a BFG, even if he's not going to use it. "The Master" kept morphing through various incarnations. Simm just isn't threatening (so pissy!Ten and pissy!Simm was kind of like watching little boys fight in the sandbox), but Pryce!Master (or, ooh, Rickman!Master) would be cool

Thank you! ^^ Yeah, Simm!Master could never pull that off, especially as written... I have got to allievate my ignorance of canon, damn it... it's rather nervewracking...
Yeah, I'm a bit less optimistic about Moffat, myself. He can write, even if he doesn't always show it, but I'd been hoping for more of a regime change, so to say. Looking back, it's pretty obvious that couldn't have happened-- don't fix what works-- but at the very least, Eleven needs to be different. And since there was hardly any Ten at all in "Blink", all we've got to go on for his current conception of the Doctor is GitF, which is pretty much terrifying. You had to suspend about a dozen different kinds of disbelief (and most thought) to like that episode, and I seem to recall reading somewhere (though damned if I can find it again) that he didn't see the slightest thing wrong with it and couldn't understand anyone who did. GitF has some of the most shameless Ten moments in the series thus far, which is saying a hell of a lot

Yeah, I don't know that I trust Moffat very much. After all, I loathe Coupling and only made it through one episode of Jekyll. Being told that James Nesbitt was terribly fascinating and attractive made me retch. Speaking of which...
::deep breath:: Stand back, I need to vent, and I think you'll appreciate it. I've really tried to like Tennant. After all, it would make my life so much easier. But damn it, if the last thing I saw last night wasn't two posts, side by side, which had icons that I know people thought were cute - and I could only think, "My God, that is the most hideous travesty of "presence" I've ever seen!"
Here and here, if you're curious. You don't even have to click into the posts, it's the icon on the first and that middle picture in the second. Dear God, David Tennant is repulsive, and it's not because of his natural physiognomy (though he's no oil painting), but because he's an f*&!ing idiot. I actively despair of humanity that he can be so popular. I know that sounds melodramatic, but I honestly do not think this

Oh, THAT'S who James Nesbitt is?! I've barely seen three minutes of Coupling, but I saw more of Jekyll than I wanted. Everyone kept saying it was good, but I couldn't see it. I thought the first episode was a bit of a narrative train wreck... Hang on. Moffat wrote that?! (Yeah, took me a couple reads) *looks again on Wikipedia* He DID write that. Oh, we are so ****ed.
I actively despair of humanity that he can be so popular -- yeah, I feel the same way. I try not to; I try to think it's a difference of opinion and I'm not the final authority and blah blah blah, but then he does something outright reprehensible again and I'm right back at square one. It's insane. I just throw up my hands at people finding him attractive (except in those pictures-- yikes), but thinking he can act... Lord, how do you manage that?
