I think of Moffatt as sort of the opposite of JN-T, in terms of the balance between the public relations and creative aspects of their positions.  A producer for the "classic" series and a showrunner for the "new" series don't exactly do the same things, but there's some overlap.  Nathan-Turner seems to have been great at the public relations and promotional stuff, but seems to have made consistently dodgy decisions whenever he had direct creative input.  Moffatt as public relations guy likes to misdirect, toy with the hardcore fans, and perhaps even deceive outright.  Yet Moffatt's creative impulses generally seem pretty sound.  I mean, yes, he gave us the Fatleks and tried to tell us we liked them.  :scared:  But he hasn't slapped question marks on everything yet.  :unsure:

I'd like to know exactly how the Fatlek thing developed, really.  Who proposed it, who signed off on the final designs, etc.  In some ways I do kind of like the Paradigm design.  It isn't all bad.  But I think that is true mainly where they didn't vary the existing design motifs too much. Once they were adding or subtracting elements, rather than doing variations on the existing themes, they messed it up.  :unsure:  The paradigm design does make a decent action figure toy... but so does Colin Baker's crazy quilt outfit.  :lol:
