This. Moffat goes for plot over characterization and emotional resonance, which are the two things I NEED to have in a show - the plot can go to hell for all I care.

Like, I like Eleven, adore Rory, and am fine with Amy, but mostly, I just don't really care what happens, which is different with how I felt about the characters in S1-S4, because I was so invested in those characters.

I'm hoping it's better in S6.
