Why Stephen Moffat Isn't Actually Evil

I've been waiting until this batch of Doctor Who episodes aired in order to post this, so that I could make a fair and balanced judgement. You see I've come back from honeymoon, caught up on Doctor Who, gone online to see opinion on said episodes, and been horrified at the level of vitriol and hate directed towards Stephen Moffat. I'm genuinely puzzled by this. Are there problems in Doctor Who? Yes. There have ALWAYS been problems in Doctor Who, and I think it's right to point them out. What confuses me is that it now seems to be done so at the exclusion of anything good, or indeed out of context.

Here follows, under the cut, my thoughts on Why Stephen Moffat Is Not The Sexist/Homophobic/Racist Doom Of Doctor Who.

[a note: I am not saying, necessarily, that everyone is wrong and I am right on this. That's half the problems. These are just my thoughts, written down out of genuine confusion at the mad hate that seems to proliferate these days. If you are one of the people making death threats to Moffat, though, then you are definitely wrong.]

( Spoilers, sweetie. )

Now, if you'll excuse me I woke up nearly two hours ago, started to write this, and then got carried away. Time for a shower.
