The new season of Doctor Who launches April 23 on the BBC and BBC America. I honestly can’t wait. I didn’t think that Matt Smith was going to be as good as he was on the show. And while I still miss David Tennant’s Doctor, series 5 was great. Series 6 looks like it may be even better. More Alex Kingston, a.k.a. River Song, this season is great. However, it looks like the creative team is going a bit darker this year in terms of tone. The creepy little girl’s voice on the phone reminds me of the “empty child” episode from Christopher Eccleston’s tenure as the Doctor.
