The more I see of Steven Moffat, the more I admire Russell T. Davies. If nothing else, for his ability to get Moffat to write well.
It's very early, so I don't have time to read everything, but this made me do a doubletake. I guess a lot of this is just personal preferences, but I'll take Moffat over RTD any day. (Gimme that meta and the happy endings!)

Mostly though, what struck me was the idea that RTD had any influence over what Moffat wrote (beyond basic outlines). RTD was notorious for re-writing everyone, except Moffat, Chibnall and a couple of others. What Moffat wrote stands on its own, wherever it may be. :)
