Dull Daleks

I really, really want to enjoy it. I’m desperate to. But I’m having problems with Doctor Who lately. Martha hasn’t quite settled for me yet, which I know will take some time. Rose is a tough act to follow but I’m almost starting to believe perhaps a male companion would have been a better companion for the time being… this aside it’s the Daleks that bother me. The second part of the latest Dalek appearance starts soon so I just caught up on last weeks and I have to say - I was bored! Something about it didnt work for me. The story seemed padded and strung out so it fitted across two episodes and the whole Dalek thing is just getting dull now. David Tennant remains the real draw of the programme - his brand of doctor never gets boring  - but I just keep getting the overwhelming feeling of ‘been there, done that’ with Daleks and animal-like slave drone things. The stories just feel lacking at the moment both in plot and in heart. Fingers crossed things start settling soon….
