Doctor Who: Series 6 Part 2 - Let's Kill Hitler Preview
If like me, the time gap from the first half of the season has slightly affected your memory of just what the hell was going on up until now then let’s recap.
After a painfully slow two and a half months in which the BBC decided not to let me continue enjoying my favourite Saturday evening TV slot, finally the waiting game is now over. Tomorrow night on BBC 1, the eagerly anticipated series return of Doctor Who sees our favourite time traveller and his companions Amy and Rory resume their time-faring adventures in the auspiciously titled Lets Kill Hitler. If like me, the time gap has slightly affected your memory of just what the hell was going on up until now then lets recap: So the Doctor is dead, apparently. Well actually technically his eleven hundred year old future self is dead, you remember? Shot by the Impossible Astronaut before he could regenerate. Oh and the Impossible Astronaut also appears to be a little girl who also has a weird time-baby regeneration thing going on. And speaking of weird time babies, lets not forget Amys goo-flesh phase, which was actually a cover for her secret pregnancy, and the revelation that River Song has been her future daughter all along. Anybody else still following? It seems that when Steven Moffat first took over as lead writer in 2010 following Russell T. Davies' departure, it was clear that he wanted to make the show his own. I still maintain that the changing of the guard was a benefit to the show, but Im hoping that the series return will finally bring some closure to those nagging questions that eat at my head. Where did the Silence go? Is the weird time baby a time lord or somehow a young Melody Pond? How will they cover the missing 200 years between now and when the Doctor dies? Will we get to see that lawyer from Battlestar again? And if River is presumably getting younger and younger every time we see her, does that suggest a possible new casting in Series 7? Im hoping that at least some of these questions will be answered tomorrow night and we can start getting into the real meat of this season. Of course we know Moffat will do what he does best, and therell undoubtedly be more questions raised than ever answered. Alas the suffering of the bereft fan! Dr Who returns tomorrow night on the BBC!
