Chibnall’s forte seems to be making the horrible show runner Steve Moffat actually look almost competent.

I do miss Russell Davies.

That’s true. The suck of the new season was glaringly obvious.

What a queer thing to say (pun intended), but compared to the many episodes of adventures in his reboot that kept us watching until now, you are right.

I dropped it from my DVR queue. Knew it would be SJW loaded.

Showrunner I'll agree with you. But he also wrote some of the best episodes ever. Including the best, "Blink".

Under proper adult supervision, Moffat was a brilliant writer who could take an idea and make it come to life.

But he destroyed canon when he had free reign. And heck, he even destroyed the Weeping Angels, because he didn’t know how to do a story ARC. So we ended up with the bizarre story of the Statue of Liberty being a weeping angel, and somehow being able to walk through New York City, because apparently 8 million people all had better things to do than look up at this horrendous sound of a huge statue walking around.

And of course images of angels being able to become corporeal.

This year has sucked for story-telling, but it was kind of cool that the weeping angels made a return, in their more believable form.
