There is a new Doctor Who trailer up on the BBC website

All the same, having to watch one of them die won't be fun.
None of the new Who companions have died, and Moffat has already taken us on something of an emotional rollercoaster ride.

Also, my mom loves River to death. She's passable imo, but not really as terrible as some people claim her to be.

 

I'm not going to be sad, because Moffat's a great big picture writer but every one of his characters, he spoils. For example! Amy seems cool, then bam romance subplot. NO.
I can't say much more without spoilers but Amy, River, and even The Doctor's individual plot is turned into something fanfictiony. Amy's entire role in the series is sexist. Matt Smith, who I love, is such a drastically less interesting doctor in the worst series so far that I sincerely hope Moffat takes some hints from Sherlock's first series and pulls this show together.

 

I looooooove series 5 and then series 6 was just... meh. I think the only episodes I really liked out of series 6 was The Doctor's Wife and The Girl Who Waited. And maybe the first half of A Good Man Goes To War, specifically for that one scene. You know the one.

I absolutely adore the Ponds, honestly, although I do agree we need a new companion.
River Song is abysmal, though. I've probably mentioned this somewhere before, but what really upsets me about her is that she started off so amazing, and then MOFFAT WHY. WHY DID YOU DO THIS MOFFAT. MOFFAT WHYYYYY.

However, supposedly River is leaving with the Ponds, so there's that.
