A confession

I am terrible confused by this season of Doctor Who. I'm not enjoying it much. It's like the whole season just doesn't feel right. And I can't put my finger on why, only every episode feels like a repeat of the last one.

Can someone explain what I'm missing?
Is anyone else feeling a bit weird about this season?

I mean, I'm still watching. I still love the 11th Doctor. But is there a different writer this season or something?

I am confuuuuused. Like really confused.
Oh and I'm up to date, so no worries about spoiling me.

Entertain me with your thoughts. Point me to some meta. Explain stuff to me. Whatever you like.
Make me all excited about my DW again, please.

I'm not as excited about the second part of the season as I was about the first - I think I'm missing the Ponds. That said, I did enjoy last night's ret-conning and insertion of Clara into the Doctor's time stream - I liked that explanation of her mystery. And I love Madame Vasta, Jenny and Strax! I want an entire spin-off series of them solving mysteries in Victorian London and being the inspiration for Sherlock Holmes. I'm almost guaranteed to love any episode that features them. And I wonder if John Hurt's 'Doctor' was the one who ended the Time War?

So, generally, not as excited this time round as previously, but still happy enough to curl up on the couch on Sunday night with some chocolate and the Doctor.

That'd be brilliant!

Yes, I am also still happily watching. I just seem to have lost the massive excitement I got in earlier seasons. hmm.
