It’s practically assault. She slams him back against the wall and goes on and on.
– Steven Moffat’s stage directions for the Twelfth Doctor/Missy kiss in Death in Heaven, according to Doctor Who Magazine.
I guess he knows what he’s doing with the sexual assault stuff, then. That’s worrying. I don’t think people will be able to excuse this anymore.

‘Sherlock’ Star Benedict Cumberbatch: Show’s Last Season ‘Really Freudian’ : NPR
Cumberbatch suspected those storylines came from conversations early in the first season’s production with one of the show’s producers, Steven Moffat.
“Immediately as an actor I wanted to understand who [Sherlock] was, what his parents were,” he adds. “These were questions I asked … I wanted to understand. [Moffat] was just talking about, ‘Can’t this guy just be good at what he does and he’s your age and he looks like you and he’s doing his thing?’
And I went, ‘No, no Steven, there’s a process I’ve got to go through. I’ve got to understand how I became this person.’ ”
He didn’t necessarily expect those answers to be revealed to viewers, Cumberbatch points out now. “I can’t just sort of float onto set with a whole bunch of mannerisms and hope it sort of comes off,” he says. “You have to ground it in some sort of reality, otherwise you get found out as things sort of evolve.”
One other thing Cumberbatch insisted on was creating a weakness for Sherlock — his inability to connect with people — another idea Moffatt resisted.
“And [Moffat] said, ‘But can’t he just be really good? Can’t he just be good at it? Why does he have to have flaw or an Achilles heel?’” the actor says.
“Because I said, you know, ‘Where’s his weakness?’ Because no human being doesn’t [have one]. And however much [Sherlock] tries to convince himself he’s not human, he is.”
I like the idea of taking every woman joke from the last season, and turning them into Moffat jokes.

So, I was at lunch with a friend and his sister after seeing ‘Guardians of the Galaxy’, catching up on stuff and talk turned to the new series of Doctor Who – our expectations, Peter Capaldi, Jenna possibly leaving, the Matt Smith era – and his sister suddenly raises an interesting point.
“Isn’t the Matt Smith era kind of similar to Twilight?”
This caused both my friend and I to pause, and look at each other with a similar expression of puzzlement.
“Yeah – I mean the storyline is very similar,” she continued “The main female character has to choose between two men from different races, makes her choice and has baby. Baby grows up abnormally fast, and ends up marrying the other man.”
Despite how this theory glosses over some of the plot, it still kind of stunned me as I realisation slowly dawned on me.
I had watched a sci-fi variant of Twilight.
