Davies vs. Moffat

In the war between Russel T. Davies and Stephen Moffat, i would like to say that I am a Moffat fan.

For one, in the first series, the first really good episode (Are you my mummy?) was written by, you guessed it, Stephen Moffat!

Also, a friend of mine went to the Minneapolis Convention and she went to one of the panels where they were talking about Davies vs. Moffat. Even people who worked with him said that he didn't really plan out his plot lines. Apparently he hadn't even decided what "Bad Wolf" was until about three episodes before the finale.

On the other hand, Moffat plans out his plot line, like a true author should. In fact, in the finale (look out, SPOILERS), they show that the doctor came back wearing a different jacket in one of the Angel episodes. Now, if i had noticed that I would have just thought that it was a continuity problem. But no! Alas, it was Moffat working his genius on another plot twist! As it turns out the Doctor from the future went back to visit Amy in order to jog her memory! See, would Davies have ever come up with that? NO!

As my friends and I say, Davies can go die in his plot holes!
