Writers. Love them or hate them, you still owe them your soul. Part I

[maniacal_math]

There are times... when writers confuse me. There's this extremely confusing chasm between my love for them and my hatred for them, and yet they are almost indistinguishably close to each other that I get confused on whether I'm supposed to smash in my screen out of frustration or hug it and give it tea and send it to a spa in Jamaica

I still don't completely understand the misogyny claims, but I understand that okay, he doesn't like Rose. Which I'm perfectly fine with, if he'd just at least respect her and stuff, which he wasn't really. I love Fireplace, I think it was one of the first Ten I saw.

What irritates me about Moffat's romance stories is that despite how touching they are, sometimes I feel like I've been cheated. I loved the Doctor and Rose because it was gradual, it was a burgeoning type of thing that happened over the two series, but he keeps writing one-time romances that neither had that gradual build or anything. Maybe that's just me, but I consider it frustrating for an episode I really do enjoy.
