I didn't see this as anti-Moffat so much as riffing on various Davies and Moffat ideas. Riffing or just pilfering, I'm not sure.

Yeah, it didn't have the same feel of subtle criticism - maybe its more a kind of "Davies' greatest hits" problem, which implicitly involves rewriting the way Moffat moved a lot of that forward.

The Woman Who Fell to Earth was my favourite of the more "mainstream Who-is" episodes of last series (if you see what I mean). It's certainly the episode I'd have liked to be the template for what followed and which really wasn't in any obvious way.
