The Doctor Definitely Wins the “Who’s Killed More Time Lords?” Game
An actual, decent-sized preview for Doctor Who season 6, anybody? Looks exciting as shit, although I kind of wish he’d had a chance to say “I wear a beard now, beards are cool” in the very beginning. Oh, one other new detail — Neil Gaiman’s Who episode is going to be titled “The Doctor’s Wife,” meaning 1) he’s writing about River Song and 2) we actually get to find out what her fucking deal is. Right now, I’m looking forward to this very specifically to get it over with, but I imagine when it comes it’ll knock my socks off. Neil Gaiman writing a plot development Steven Moffat’s had in mind for years? That is the very definition of appointment TV for me.
