Did they give Moffat a brain transplant? Did someone ghostwrite all of his episodes?
Season 8 was so yikes, I wouldn't be surprised if someone higher up in BBC drama (or possibly Capaldi himself) told Moffat to improve his writing game or else. And that's why Sherlock S4 ended up so terribly self-indulgent, b/c he couldn't be such an ass on Doctor Who. (Not that I know personally about Sherlock b/c I'm still allergic to Moffat. I learn a lot by fannish osmosis though.)
Bringing in Kate Lethbridge-Stewart and Osgoode were great decisions, and "Face The Raven" was brilliant. I wasn't impressed how the season finale basically gave Clara immortality (that final heartbeat thing) b/c it proves Moffat still can not handle the finality of death. But there is an (eventual) end, and the idea of Clara and Ashildr/Me traveling the universe together is awesome, so I'm good.
