steven moffat appreciation week || day #2. favourite theme: 'That's a fairy tale.' 'Doctor, aren't we all?'

When I hear people saying that Moffat’s writing is empty and it’s just a convoluted storyline that makes no sense, I am always absolutely flabbergasted. Do we watch the same things? Maybe I watch a version of the show that comes from a parallel universe. Who knows. But then again, to each their own. For me Moffat era is full of fairytales - or at least fairytale-like stories. 

There’s a small girl in a big empty house, with no parents and an absent aunt. A mad man crashes into her shed, eats fish fingers and custard and promises to come back. And he does, but years later, when the girl is all grown-up and way past fairytales. But then she believes her raggedy man - just for 20 minutes - and together they save the world and then he gives her years of miraculous experiences. There’s a nurse, one who was always a bit in the back, not one of the cool guys - but then again this same nurse is ready to protect the woman he loves and guard her for over 2000 years. There’s a girl stolen from her parents, who fights against everything she’s been taught, who chooses to love instead of hate, who molds her own fate and who saves her prince with a kiss. There’s a girl who isn’t a college student, but who gets noticed and tutored by the smartest man in the world - and he shows her the wonders of the universe. Later, when the girl is turned into an unfeeling machine, she’s rescued and turned immortal by a girl she fancied and together they travel throughout the universe. 

There’s a man who when he was turned into a Cyberman, wanted just one thing: to protect the woman he loved, and even after his death, he made amends to people he hurt in his past. There’s a girl who defeats a mighty god with just her words and a leaf. There’s a fearsome star whale that comes to the rescue, because he just heard the children cry. And then, there’s a powerful, almost almighty Time Lord - who is afraid of the dark. And even though he could do terrible things and destroy galaxies and watch the world burn, he chooses - over and over again - to be kind. He chooses to be The Doctor.
