IT'S TIME FOR SOME STEVEN MOFFAT APPRECIATION!!
The Top five Doctor Who episodes were all written by Moffat. These include, Blink#1 Heaven Sent#2 The Day of the Doctor#3 Vincent and the Doctor#4 and Silence in the Library/Forest of the Dead#5.. Obviously everyone has their own personal favourite episodes, but those five are among the best rated episodes of all time. Out of the Top 30 episodes, he literally wrote 20 of them, 8 were written by Russell T Davies, and 2 written by guest writers..
He's responsible for two of the most popular and beloved side characters in the show, River Song, who he introduced in the two-parter Silence in the Library/Forest of the Dead, and Captain Jack Harkness, who he introduced in the two-parter The Empty Child/The Doctor Dances.
He's also responsible for creating perhaps the most iconic Doctor Who monster, The Weeping Angels, other than the Daleks and Cybermen.
Some of the best episodes during RTD's own era, Blink, Silence in the Library/Forest of the Dead, The Girl in the Fireplace & The Empty Child/The Doctor Dances, were all written by Moffat.
He brought back the Eighth Doctor and finally gave him a regeneration in 'The Night of the Doctor', introducing the War Doctor in 'The Day of the Doctor' - His two Doctor's (Eleven & Twelve) will go down as two of the all time greats, casting an unknown Matt Smith after David Tennant was genius, then casting Peter Capaldi, a much older and established actor was even more brilliance, exactly what the show needed at the time. He gave us the first ever multi-Master story AND the origin story of the Cybermen in the exact same episode, in World Enough and Time/The Doctor Falls, and he embraced the Time Travel element of Doctor Who.. I could continue adding to list for a while longer if I wanted tbh.
So when people say Moffat wasn't a good writer or his era wasn't good, I genuinely don't know what TF they're talking about. Simply delusional.. I just can't take a person serious when I see a post, article or video saying Moffat wasn't a good writer when he literally wrote 20 of the Top 30 episodes.

What did you think of his all black velvet fit? Delish if I say so! #DoctorWho

FUN FACT: Peter Capaldi refuses to take off his wedding ring for any acting role, so he asked the costume department to design a ring that could slide beside his real one. They created a gold ring with a green emerald birth stone, (a symbol of rebirth, renewal and love) which he wears to honour his marriage to River Song in the show.. When he regenerated into Jodie, the ring was too big for her fingers and fell on the floor #DoctorWho
We deserved to see his waistcoat in a full episode #DoctorWho
Just a pair of legends!
Twelve's tartan pants, Crombie coat & Doc Martens boots is one of his best looks. #DoctorWho
