Moffat has, and I suspect will continue to write (because he thinks he's the be-all-and-end-all of writers ... don't get me started ... let's just say he's not well-liked among some of my colleagues and I have Stories ... sigh) plot-driven stories, not character-driven.
And character-driven is what the appeal of the new series (1-4) has been -- it's what's made it far more universal. Yes, he wrote some good stories, but they're still the most plot-driven of what came from the new series thus far (again, don't get me started).
I keep trying to have hope that this won't kill the new series (not just the change in actors), but ... I dunno. I just want to put my head in the oven some days as regards all writers (can you tell I have several Books from Hell on my desk right now?), but then I remember my oven's electric. :)
