I'll lay it simply as this: The old RTD era was about the characters, the new Moffat era is about the story.
I would disagree with this. Moffat's stories were plot driven, but I think they were the strongest because he also had fully developed characters. In Blink, you could really identify with the Sally Sparrow, Nightingale and Shipton characters and this was from 50 minutes.
That being said, I was a bit disappointed in Moffat's stories this season. Personally, my favorite episode was the Van Gogh one.
Edit: I see you wrote the Moffat era. Yeah, I could see that from this season.
