He actually reminds me a bit of Bret Easton Ellis, the author of American Psycho. He too rode on a high of critical acclaim...that is until people actually read the book. It too was a nihilistic piece of crap.
He's written several books since then, but none have had much critical success. He has however, optioned most of them into totally forgettable films that again receive no critical recognition. He's making millions, but at least he's not shooting off his mouth about how great he is anymore.
So here's to RTD's new career as forgettable filmmaker, he can make all the dark, poorly plotted sci fi he wants and make lots of money as long as he doesn't crap on my fandom.
