Oh god, it's going to be one of those "Drag out a single story into what feels like infinity" seasons, isn't it? I miss being able to watch any episode and not having to catch up on 4 episodes worth of back-story.

Doctor Who does a pretty good job of finding a balence between monster of the week and mythology heavy arc episodes. A lot of the stuff with the doctor's death has been b-plot for the most part and shouldn't really stop your enjoyment of the series if you missed a couple episodes. Only the River Song stuff I would imagine gets confusing because they are refering back to stuff that happened a couple seasons back. Add in their timelines are going different directions and I could see someone getting lost. Flowchart maybe?

To be honest.. I'm done with River.. Hopefully Moffatt is too. But, hell if Silence in the Library isn't sad as hell when you watch it now that you know River.

As for this Season, I share a lot of the opinions expressed here: http://geekscape.net/let-s-kill-amy-pond.html

The link makes it sound bad, but it's a good read.

Yeah it did seem like they gave up looking for Melody a little too quick in favor of going on a new adventure of the week. But them having Amy and Rory as greiveing parents for the next 5 or 6 episodes doesn't sound like much fun either. It didn't bother me because a lot of stand alone episodes have been excellent this season.

I think this may be a case of people hypeing up a season finale or the mysteries too much to the point where there is no way they can live up to expectations.

It speaks volumes that I literally cannot muster up the motivation to watch the finale. Good job, Moffat.

It's a solid story that compresses 2 Seasons into 1 Season. Mid-Season Finale should've been the Season Finale. Don't be afraid to break the mold and end on a cliffhanger.

No talk of the new Christmas special?

Well it was a good episode to tide us over. The ending felt like a bit of a cop out but hey it is Christmas so I can't fault them for wanting a more happy ending.

It's a christmas episode, did you expect any other ending? :lol:

It was very average to be honest, and Bill Bailey was criminally underutilized in his role, and aside from the 'winter wonderland' theme, it barely felt like Narnia as well, those tree people made me think Lord of the Rings more than anything else. I enjoyed it for what it was, but i doubt I'll rewatch it.

In regards to season 7 though, what are peoples expectations or hopes for the series?

The new companion might be called Clara. Interesting name, for sure. Hope it sticks.
