Today (saturday 23rd april 2011) the first episode of Doctor who series 6 aired at 6PM. The episode was titled "The impossible Astronaut" and was the first of a two parter, it was not as action packed as undoubtably the second episode which is called "Day of the moon" will be. In addition i feel The silence, the creepy new foes that caused the end of the universe in the last series were not seen enough. Their powers include shooting lighting from their fingers and mind wiping, an example of this would be when River song (a mysterious friend of the Doctor's) explored the sewage system filled with Silents yet when she emerged from the tunnel she forgot she had seen them. A new plot line in this series is the fact that each of the TARDIS member's seem's to have a secret from the other. River, Amy (the Doctor's companion) and Rory (Amy's husband) all saw the Doctor get killed by the strange person in an apollo spacesuit but they later discovered it was a future Doctor and they now conceal this from the present Doctor, as we found out the Doctor that dies is a future Doctor. Another secret is that Amy is pregnant and she reveals this to the Doctor, i believe that this may cause tension between the four as clearly Amy does not want Rory to know which could mean many things, i heard in sfx magazine that the child may not be hers.
I think the episode was not as good as all the hype suggested because it lacked substance and Steven Moffat ( the producer and head writer of series 5 and 6) may have dug himself into too deep a whole with his constant timey-wimey story lines yet i will see how things turn out. MK
