Regardless of whatever the plan is, I'm just hoping it is presented cleanly and well.  I want questions answered, or at least given enough information that one can make a reasonable assumption.  I don't want to think too much about it (this is not one of my "think about it" shows), though I would prefer if it was not overly heavy-handed...

they called me the face of boe



also the doctor has been mucking around in his own timestream or whatever so there's that


and has anyone ever actually considered the sheer amount of people who have died on the Doctor's excursions? It's a lot of people. Every single goddamn episode you can count on at least 2-3 people dying on average. Sometimes it's a lot more and sometimes it's none at all, but generally, the Doctor fails to save most people's lives. Just ranting over here.

If River can regenerate, then there is no reason she couldn't grow up to be Kovarian and evil first, and then regret her life and become the nicer River Song later.

However, [spoiler]the British trailer actually has River in that outfit. Though it could be a Moffat double bluff, that would be a huge spoiler. I can't imagine he'd let that one through unless it's true and revealed almost instantly in episode 8.[/spoiler]

Yeah, Moffat likes to keep his audience guessing so I don't think we'll have an answer right away. Though I'm still pretty convinced that the 'good man' River kills will turn out to be [spoiler]Rory.[/spoiler]

well river is little girl and little girl was astronaut right? so doesn't river kill the doctor?

The BBC website has brief synopses of Series 6 Part 2, alongside a reasonably interesting long trailer.
They also released a teaser trailer of a skeleton (presumably the Doctor's) holding a dying sonic screwdriver.
You know, from the BBC's S6P2 trailer, I now have a fledgling theory that Madame Kovarian is somehow River Song. Even knowing how River dies (or rather, lives), there's any number of plot devices Moffat could pull to achieve this, although I doubt it'll be the eventual case.

They do look awfully familiar...

You know, the latest episode says it's NSFW but isn't the generally true of all RPPR episodes and APs? Or am I just being silly.

NYT is way too mainstream for DF. Now I don't want to play it at all.

I think that was a joke to the fact that Season 6 of the original series was filmed in 1969

what a coincidence. actually I was just being ignorant.

Note: the following contains spoilers for Episode 12 of Series 5 and Episodes 1 and 2 of Series 6.

I don't think the Silence are done for. It's clear that at least one still exists and looks at Amy at the beginning of Episode 1 (immediately before the Doctor is shot), which occurs in modern times. Also, in Series 5 Episode 12 ("The Pandorica Opens") a strange voice to whom no actor has yet been attributed says "Silence will fall", cauing the TARDIS to explode. While the Silence have "fallen" from their previous status as humanity's puppet-masters, I'm under the impression that Moffat's not finished with their signifigance in the season or its plot-arc.

I thought s06e01 was in 1969

I'm a bit confused why the silence just disappeared after the season premier. I mean, they can't all be dead.
