Moffat has seemed to want to ignore a lot about past Who and put his own mark on it. He seems to be ignoring anything to do with original Who for the 50th because he doesn't want it to "become a fanfest". But if the whole finale of this season is going to lead up to his real name being revealed because the 50th is going to be the start of a new chapter for Who, it could spell the end for anything to do with past Who. Some of the mysteries need to be kept. We don't need to know his true name or the reason it is such a secret.

And what is it with Moffat's companions? Does he only have one idea for their character? We have Amy, who the doctor meets as a child and turns out out be something of a mystery and becoming the one that saves the day. Now we have clara , who he meets her present day incarnation as a child ( we see this in the prequel before he goes looking for answers and meets her as a younger self) who turns out to be a mystery and comes to the doctors rescue and saves the day. He also never bothers to resolve plot points that he introduces. Why didn't Amy remember the Daleks? Who blew up the TARDIS? How did a robot manage to start to regenerate?

He even seems to have forgotten that the Doctor married River.

We now get these split seasons just so he can concentrate on Sherlock and, if reports are to be believed, we will have a much longer wait for any new Doctor Who in 2014, possibly the Autumn instead of Easter. Audience numbers are dwindling and the way its going, it won't be long before the BBC shelves it once again.

Luckily, in a recent interview, Moffat has said that he is closer to the end of his run on Who as he is to the beginning.
