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

I would try to cheer you up, but sadly that's what happened to me during S5 so all I can offer virtual booze and chocolate.

[starrylizard]

Hmm. Well I'm still watching, I've just lost my extreme squee these days. It may yet return though. Here's hoping.

For your sake, I hope so, too. I miss being excited by it, but am sadly sort of used to it by now. That said, the ending of NotD did inspire me in another direction, which has excited me. I have put my opinions about why I feel let down on my LJ, but of course you don't have to read them unless you want to.

I'm so glad I'm not the only one who feels this way. And I've no idea what it is, either..

[starrylizard]

It's really odd. I partly think I may just want more silly episodes rather than everything being the end of the world. But it's not just that... Hopefully I get my squee back someday soon.

I'm with you. I think it's because the chemistry has changed. Don't necessarily dislike Clara...but its not the same. It feels like they tried to force a mystery on us that wasn't needed. Now when Vestra, Jenny and Strax appear...feels very different.

Yeah those guys are amusing! :D

It feels... fragmented?

And I think the fact that they split the season up into 2 halves with Rory and Amy in 1st half and then Clara in 2nd half that makes it weird? Usually we have an entire season dedicated to 1 plot line and now it's half a season, maybe that's why?

IDK...

I was barely paying attention to half of it TBH. And I keep forgetting that River is dead, that she's been dead since the first time we met her. Bloody time travelling, messes with your head.

[starrylizard]

Yeah, plus I have decided maybe it's also we don't get to know Clara very well,because for half the episodes she was a different version of herself... hmm.

The plot this season is very timey wimey with the time travel. It does my head in for sure.

If it means anything, this is the first time since I've been watching DW live that I'm not just an episode behind, I'm 3 eps behind. :S And I haven't cared if I'm spoiled or not. :S

It's like what you said, I still love Eleven. I've even liked Clara. But it just feels like something is missing, whatever that thing is that makes me all "ZOMG, new ep today! Must watch immediately!" :S I'm not stopping watching it, I'm just not as motivated to see it the second it airs.

I've lost the excitement on it, too, and it's a real bummer. :( *offers a basket of cookies as consolation*

*hugs* ♥

[starrylizard]

Thanks! *munches cookies* Hopefully it picks up again. It seems at least I'm not alone, so I guess I'm not missing anything, it just is a bit less "wow" this season for some reason. hmm.
