I guess I just misinterpreted a remark in the podcast. <br /><br />"Campiness" might be the wrong word; and it's possible I'm mistaking honest plotting oversights/bandaids for an intentional paradigm. <br /><br />"Paradise Syndrome" is probably the most egregious of his implausible self-narrations, but you guys have called him out on it enough times I wouldn't be surprised if you gave him a pass.

Am I supposed to be making a list, too? I...Oh shit. Am I supposed to be making a list, too? I never thought about Moffat's work pushing campiness because I'm sort of on a "calling out grimdark hypermasculininty" kick, but I could see the swaggering "because I'm The Doctor"-yness of Eleven and the WTF humor of The Time of The Doctor as fitting into that paradigm.<br /><br />Dude. I'm not sure if we caught the logs thing in "The Paradise Syndrome." Gotta edit that today so I ought to check.VanVeldinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03441999455333315750noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35276667.post-10020331383567369022016-03-03T13:46:50.247-06:002016-03-03T13:46:50.247-06:00"Solving problems and then getting out of Dod..."Solving problems and then getting out of Dodge: two core values," heh... I'm looking forward to your guys' list of essential TOS eps/characteristics; and y'know, Derek's comment about how <i>The Trouble with Tribbles</i> undermines plot logic in order to push campiness, that's also pretty much what's wrong with Moffat's run on Dr Who. <br /><br />Man, Kirk's obsession with logs... so ingrained he even does it when he has amnesia and forgets that he's a captain.
