I start all my Doctor Who articles this way, but it's been a long time since we last saw the Doctor, Amy, and Rory. We're going on three months if you count the Christmas special! That's a long time for anyone to wait -- but luckily, we won't have to wait much longer.Saturday, April 23 will bring a new episode of Who to both the US and the UK -- the first time that's happened for a non-special episode, ever. It's quite exciting, but what's even more exciting are the new titles for the first, two-part story that will start off the sixth series.
"The Impossible Astronaut" is the first title. It shares an adjective with the series two episode "The Impossible Planet," though I personally think "The Impossible Astronaut" as a much better ring to it.
The second episode is titled "Day of the Moon," and will wrap up the story started in "The Impossible Astronaut." It's likely that "Day of the Moon" will air on April 30.
I like the episode titles, personally. They give the episodes a mysterious lunar theme that I hadn't picked up on while watching the promos. But who is the new "Impossible Astronaut?" If it's not an entirely new character, I would almost venture to say that it's the Doctor, who apparently gets holed up in Area 51 during the story.
"The Impossible Astronaut" airs April 23 on BBC One and BBC America.
