YES! Best news ever! What a lovely thing to find on my flist after getting the computer back!

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

You're right, this news deserves the bouncy elephant! It's AMAZINGLY wonderiffic news!

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

I'm not one of the RTD-hating squad, but it's definitely time for a change round. Some new themes and ideas and directions, and Moffat is just the guy to provide them.

I was all a-squee and bouncy when I heard. TOO AWESOME.

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

I don't hate RTD. Not at all. I just think his vision has perhaps run its course

*bounces with you*

*dances with you* I think the Kermit icon says it all.

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

Oh yeah. It's perfect!

I can't find anything about is Moffat's taking over the other shows (TW or SJA) though

[the-dark-side.livejournal.com]

If he is, it would be the ultimate hat-trick of awesomeness.

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

it would be! OMG the thought of him running Torchwood?

[rustydog.livejournal.com]

Not looking under the cut or at comments yet, but is this the thing about the show runner, or is there more to it?

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

no in depth about anything.

[rustydog.livejournal.com]

Okay, thanks. And YAAY. I don't dislike RTD either, but I've loved everything Steven Moffat has done, so I look forward to this.

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

exactly. With luck this will mean there will be a little less running. RTD's episodes make me tired.

And yeah- all of Moffat's episodes have ROCKED

[the-dark-side.livejournal.com]

We'd all finally be able to say we watch for the plot.

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

hey, we watch for plot... sorta... kinda.. sometimes...

[the-dark-side.livejournal.com]

Every once in awhile...

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

the episodes that *do* have good plots have been amazing. It's unfortunate that they are few and far between

[the-dark-side.livejournal.com]

It really is.
