25 Reasons Why Steven Moffat Is The Biggest Troll In Television

Moffat, please, just, please stop. It hurts so much.

1. This is Steven Moffat, Doctor Who lead writer and executive producer and co-creator of Sherlock.

2. He's a charming Scotsman and a self-proclaimed lifelong nerd.

3. But he's also a bit of a bastard.

4. This is pretty much his life motto.

5. Seriously.

6. Even the media's concerned...

7. He creates amazing characters that you grow to love and cherish, and then...

8. They end up here.

9. What's more, he FINDS IT WITHIN HIMSELF TO JOKE ABOUT THE PAIN THAT HE WILL CAUSE.

10. So the Sherlock and Doctor Who fandoms pretty much feel like this all the time.

11. Besides killing characters, his favorite thing to do is cause fans to spend hours online researching obscure theories about his shows.

12. What's more, he freely and happily lies about his (probably nefarious) intentions and plans for his shows.

13. AND HE ENJOYS HIS LIES. HE LAUGHS AT THE FANDOMS FROM ATOP HIS THRONE OF LIES.

14. And the ABSOLUTE WORST is when people ask him about it! He taunts! He trolls!

15. Oh, yeah, and he's pretty much admitted that he doesn't have a heart.

16. Moffat enjoys toying with the emotions of his fans.

"Yep we're gonna need a new one".

"Yep we're gonna need a new one".

17. He even toys with his actors!

18. Moffat is a RUTHLESS OVERLORD.

19. Which makes it all the more annoying when he does amazingly unexpected and wonderful things.

20. No matter how much you fight it, you know that he owns your soul.

21. You slowly come to terms with the fact that you're entirely in his power.

22. So you weep. And weep.

23. And pray that your fears won't come true...

24. Then you begin to go a little bit crazy.

25. There's nothing you can do but sit back and watch and hope for the best.

And know that it will actually be the worst.
