A confession

[starrylizard]

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.

My problem? It's a show called Doctor Who which doesn't seem to want to BE Doctor Who. It wants to be something else but it doesn't know what it should be.

Moffat has given the show his own special twist but it's a sour twist. If the writers were left alone to their own devices, I think they would have turned out much better stories. But trying to cram it into Moffat's "Bizarro World" makes all the stories feel disjointed.

Remember when the Doctor used to accidentally stumble into a plot which didn't involve the universe about to be destroyed? I miss those days...

Must admit I haven't watched much of the Old School DW. But I think I know what you mean. This season in particular has had Daleks, Cybermen etc. etc. in the space of a few episodes. I'd prefer something really fun and silly again.
