Gatiss needs to man up tbh. Moff needs a heavy hand to deal with. Gatiss has been my fav part of Moff's Who if that means anything to anyone. :P

As for the misogyny discussion, WATCH ELEMENTARY. ALL OF YOU. IT IS SO GOOD. In comparison with Elementary, which has prominent and badass female characters (as well as more POC characters), BBC Sherlock can be called misogynistic But as for me, I LOVE both shows. It is possible to be a fan of both. Let me tell you, Elementary is AWESOME.

I haven't yet seen the new sherlock. - So I snipped all that. But I have to say, I agree with LA. Elementary is very engaging! I like it a lot. I was unsure at first and just gave it a try and it grew on me. Like lots. I love so much about this show.


As for Moff. Well....he's Moff. He did some really great things with Dr. Who - that said, I think that most of the great things he does - writing wise are plot driven. And that's where "the problem that is Moff" comes into play. He's awesome at plot. He's the master behind such great Dr. Who episodes as Blink and The Girl In The Fireplace. They are VERY plot driven episodes. It worked when he wrote for RTD because RTD was so very CHARACTER driven as a writer. They balanced each other out.


linki - INH - I'm not a fan of her either, but she brings an intersting earthiness to the show. Also - what I like about Elementary, is that it does not at all hide Holmes' drug addiction. It plays on it. I do think that is a central part of Holmes and becoming a non-smoker is NOT the same as being a serious drug addict. This is coming from someone who a) still smokes and b) gave up more than one drug.


The problem with Moff is now, it feels like he lacks balance. He lacks the character side to work with his plot driven writing. He needs a RTD, tbh.
