New companion craziness

[randomgirl666.livejournal.com]

As you've probably heard, the new companion has been announced. The details are here (along with hints about Amy and Rory's exit). Fandom seems to have done its usual thing with this news, so rather than create another pointless thread asking what we all think of a companion we haven't seen in action yet (hint: the correct answer is "nothing because I haven't seen her in action yet"), I thought I would ask what your current favourite crazy comment has been about the casting of Jenna Louise Coleman.

But can we trust the misogynistic, racist and overall shame to humanity and poor writer who goes by the name of STEVEN MOFFAT?

:-P

Granted Moff's said some dumb things - often taken out of context - but I give him credit for creating at least an INTERESTING character. I do believe him when he makes statements about chemistry. I'm not a fan of River, but Alex and Matt had some great chemistry. As do Matt, Karen and Arthur.

I think Moffat is utterly brilliant as a writer.

I'm usually puzzled by the number of "fans" of Sherlock and Doctor Who who volubly hate his work. (Esp Sherlock... as at least Doctor Who has a history for people to base their feelings on)

I had my issues with both series of Sherlock but there was enough cleverness and brilliance in the modernization, writing, acting, etc. to temper it. But, yeah, I have seen some vicious haters of Moffat's and I wonder, "Why do you watch the man's work if you hate him that much?" RTD had some flaws, too, but I don't see many people bring that up. (That's all I'm saying on RTD, do not want to start RTD vs. Moffat wank.)

(Not puzzled that they don't like it... but puzzled that they don't just not watch it. There are OODLES of shows I don't like. But I don't join fanclubs and rant about them. I just don't watch them...)
