Exactly! It seemed like they would spend most of the show on things that
didn't add to the story, and then spend the last 5 minutes or so hurrying to
the conclusion. The satisfaction of watching the Doctor (seeming to)
slowly figure something out, like 4, 10, and 11 did, was gone.
The most recent New Year's Episode was sort of the opposite... they figured
it out, but then seemed to spend extra time on a long and dragged-out
solution rather than getting to safety sooner. Felt like they ran out of
ideas and had to pad out 20 minutes or so. I would have enjoyed it more if
they'd just shortened the episode. :)
I also think she had too many companions, which may be why the middle of
some stories got too stretched out.

That is they other thing they spend too much time on in the middle of
stories. They had a couple that were all about the "bad American
businessMAN" that I am pretty sure was supposed to make us think of Trump.
There are many, many other examples, most of which were not memorable and I
cannot remember the details of.
