I don't like to draw comparisons between RTD and Moffat because they both have a different approach for how they write stories and the characterization of the champions etc.
In the RTD era we had domestics and the mystery of the series would be revealed in the series finale and sometimes the result is a deux ex machine and a champion leaving. But the latter was done because of the actress moving on.
Whereas Moffat chooses to answer some questions in the series finale and then drag the rest for the following series. Series 9 started with the Doctor thinking he was going to die again! and than nothing?. Then it shifted to the hybrid plot which I found confusing.
Are we suppose to think that River whispered the name "Basil" into Ten's ear in "Forest of the Dead?.
Was the "sliver of ice" comment from "Hide" a foreshadowing of the Doctor going "dark"?.
I'm I making too much of this?. I guess its just some things for me to ponder until the next series.
