Luck had everything to do with it.

Saying something is lucky is not the same as saying it's crap.

If he hadn't been in a number of places at the right time it just wouldn't have happened.

By that reasoning, everything in life is purely luck. Everything is about being in the right place at the right time. It is lucky the dealer had the car you bought, lucky Best Buy had your computer in stock, lucky you happened to look at job postings when the job you now have was posted. By this definition of luck, the only things that wouldn't be considered luck would be things you personally deem as negative in your life. I think in this way, the word luck quickly loses its meaning, though I very much think it is an extremely meaningless word in the first place.

I was just saying that I think saying he got "lucky with it" belittles how very well done the show was. Great care, effort, and talent were poured into it and it shows. When a guy like Moffat continuously hits the nail on the head, I don't think you can call it luck (yeah, he has made some failures), but he's obviously worked hard to get the reputation he has and has some great talent.
