Steven Moffat’s dismissive attitude toward women somehow seems to help his career.
this article is so so important please read it
holy shit, though. wow.
OH.MY.GOD. it has EVERY QUOTE. WITH A LINK. this article must’ve been burning in this writer’s mind for ages…well done.
True story: when I initially pitched this article, my editor thought I was joking and squelched it, and I went back and screamed at him a lot until he understood there is NOTHING FUNNY ABOUT THE RAGE-INDUCING EFFECTS OF STEVEN MOFFAT and let me write it, haha.
(Also, since a lot of people have been questioning the veracity of the quotes, I just want to say that everything in “” in the article is a word-for-word quote that comes from either a video/radio or print interview by Moffat, or a tweet from his now-deleted twitter, or a line one of his characters says. Every other link is tied to arguments about the narratives of his series, so yes, it’s all as verified as we could possibly make it.)
I haven’t watched Sherlock or Doctor Who in a long time. This is basically why.
Moffat is happy that bisexuals “probably don’t even watch” his shows because they’re off “having far too much fun” getting laid. If they were watching, he’d have to make them characters or something, which would be weird, because his gay characters are “going through a phase” anyway, like Irene Adler was before she met the man who could turn her straight.
Moffat is happy his wife is no longer the size of “a boat,“ because her pregnancy was a scary time in his life that left him “pretty frightened” and “disgusted.”
Moffat is happy he was able to hire Karen Gillan to play Amy Pond. He thought Gillan was “wee and dumpy,” but it turns out she’s “5'11” and slim and gorgeous.”
These are just a few, holy shit read the whole thing it’s awful.
“John and Sherlock
pitch themselves through the window – onto the awning of Speedy’s. Boop, and they’re fine.” – from ‘Sherlock behind 221B: The Final Problem’
THAT IS RIDICULOUSLY IMPOSSIBLE BECAUSE:
Anyone hurling themselves from such a height would need to be hospitalized (which is in fact something they made Sir Edwin say about Mycroft, who merely took the stairs– it’s like they’re being sarcastic on purpose), and yet Sherlock and John magically reappeared without a scratch. Everything about it defies the laws of Sherlock’s universe – but of course, we already knew that.
My point is that this man sounds desperate to point out how nonsensical this episode was. Just look at his face, how he looks at the camera -at us- to give us that ludicrous explanation. He’s teasing and enjoying it. There’s absolutely no logical explanation for any of this.
“Which is strange and awful and exciting (…) Boop!”
okay but honestly the best part of the whole miss piggy/sherlock thing is that miss piggy was being all “oh yeah i’ll be your love interest” and sherlock was literally like. “uh yeah ur ex is in my bath where i am naked.” like way to put down the hetero sherlock
Save him. Don’t think anyone else is going to save him, because there isn’t anyone. It’s up to you. Save him. But I do think you’re going to need a little bit of help with that, because you’re not exactly good with people, so here’s a few things you need to know about the man we both love. And more importantly, what you’re going to need to do to save him. John Watson never accepts help. Not from anyone, not ever. But here’s the thing - he never refuses it. So, here’s what you are going to do. You can’t save John, because he won’t let you. He won’t allow himself to be saved. The only way to save John is to make him save you. Go to hell, Sherlock. Go right into hell and make it look like you mean it.
