Comment on 2012 blogging plans by Josh

My personal opinion: write about whatever tickles your fancy at the moment. Unless you are really trying to make a mark in the blogosphere and blog about a specific topic (and finding the niche is about a gazillion to one), write about what makes you laugh, cry, or just surprises you. I don’t think you need to have a theme or specific genre in order to write. Writing is about writing and if you want to write, then you should write. If people want specific topics, they click on your tags and categories. I think you will find a theme over time if you just write for the love of writing.

Just my two cents’ worth…and as always, you get what you pay for

I didn’t have any because I wasn’t there for the filming. I didn’t do anything for the show, just put those videos together mot my marketing hours.

That was fun! Did you eat some of the pie? Did you work on the play?

It’s actually the word “softly” that you are hearing.

Does that help it be less sad?

Hey, I thought that it was beautifully haunting. Were there other words? it almost sounded as a quiet “help me. help me”? It is very amazing that you did this on your phone! Very lovely and sad.

You don’t feel any emotion when Amy gets turned into the doll because he kills someone in every episode and brings them back at the end. There are no consequences in Moffat’s universe, which makes it a fairy tale. Russel T Davies’ universe had real consequences and put his characters in a place where they were forced to make a decision that would create a consequence. Moffat’s writing is not nearly as deep.

I am so happy I found this blog! I could go on forever with my opinion on Steven Moffats writing but you summed it all up! Instead of rambling on I’ll just say well done.

Yeah - you are the second person who had made me reexamine that Superman/Batman argument, so I'm thinking that one isn't really working in the way I hoped it might and will definitely reconsider. I think the point I was trying to make was that the stakes are different for Superman and Batman, and that in order for physical threats to be believable for Superman they have to be SO VERY HUGE that they often verge into silliness or hyperbole.

Also, while "Night Terrors" didn't go down the timey-wimey, convoluted plot/narrative path, it did perfectly illustrate the weakness in character development that has plagued this season. Neither the kid nor the father were developed in the slightest, each just standing in for what the character type means in a fairy tale kind of structure. None of the other minor characters had any depth to them either.

Also, I was surprised at how little I cared when Amy turned into a doll because I knew there wasn't anything at stake. Even Rory didn't seem all that bothered by potentially losing his wife forever.
