I feel like the end of the fourth season was a way to get rid of all the RTD's crew. There was no way any of then would show up for any unsolved business (yup, still thinking about this).
Yeah, it has come to a point where teenager fiction is pretty much all the same. All orphans that turn out to be part of some ancient legacy related to magic creatures or races and have to save their king from the big bad final boss. It'd be great to get one of those. Like "mum, this guy told me I'm half a dragon?? Also he's cute??" and mum has a vote on the thing. Instead of seeing no giving the characters a strong backstory at home as *easy*, I see it as lazy writing. That's something I liked about the beginning of Amy's story arc. She was getting married, but she was running away from her responsibilities. In the end it all came to the front line and it became a TARDIS business so it really didn't matter, but it was a neat starter point.
Being able to explain why you don't like the thing is amazing. Gives you a deep understanding of the story, the characters and their reasoning. There's also I've learnt that bothers me: realism. People complains about realism on tv and movies all the time, when those don't even try to be "realistic", but believable. Anyway we have jerks saying movie dragons don't look like real dragons. Ugh. I've found many Moffat's episodes badly paced, too. Whether it's because they have a lot of filler, or because they built very complicated plots, they end up being annoyingly slow, and in the end they fail when it comes to solve everything in a believable way.
