Yeah, as I said above, I don't really disagree that Moffat is very plot-based. I just always thought he was very good with characters too. I guess I can see why you'd think his plots were gimmicky - I suppose I disagree (or at least never minded) because they were so unexpected and wild. Such interesting juxtapositions of things that genuinely end up being usual or iconic, or, as in the case of Blink, very, very clever? I guess to me, I feel RTD is the one who uses gimmicks to get out of things, when I'd prefer he came up with a surreal plot twist that introduced a forest into a library and left me wondering for 45 minutes how THAT works?
