"the waiting is the hardest part"

It is, I gather, the sign of the Apocalypse.  Or the firing of Matt Smith.  Or the cancellation of DW (in time for what would have been the 50th anniversary--apparently, the BBC knows how to celebrate).  Or further proof that NO ONE watches DW, even Steven Moffat, who'd rather work on Sherlock.

Ahhh...Nothing like a complete fandom frenzy, wallowing in a total lack of logic.

I like the idea of a split DW season.  I have a feeling that Moffat will kill me with the promised cliffhanger (imagine DW5 ending with "The Pandorica Opens")....But what a way to fuel the summer with speculation.

I really don't get the objection that there will be nothing to watch in the summer --since there's nothing DW to watch in the summer, anyway.  DW5 was all over before the end of June; now it's thumb-twiddling time until December and the Christmas special.  Moffat's plan to split DW6 means DW in April/May, then more DW in September, and then a Christmas special in December.  Same amount of screen time, but spread out.  I don't see a problem.  Or an Apocalypse.  Or "proof" Smith and the show have been given the boot.

So.  The cliffhanger.  Hmmm.  Amy/Rory?  River?  the Time Lords?  The latter is a group that certainly needs revamping; "End of Time" was atrocious and incoherent....not sure how the Time Lords managed to pop up, anyway; then they hung around, being all muh-hah-ha! , including Dalton spit; and then.....they went away.  So they definitely could use the Moffat Fix.
