So the more I hear about Series 6 of Doctor Who, the more
I think I'm right that Series 5 & 6 are one big story. In the
first episode of Series 5 we're introduced to a new story
arc:

"The universe is cracked. The Pandorica will open. Silence
will fall."

The story of why the universe was cracked and the
Pandorica were mostly answered in the Series 5 finale -
yet a lot was left unanswered and the Silence were not
revealed - in Series 6, they are.

Also, Series 5 saw the return of River Song and raised
many a mystery about who this woman really is...with
whisperings about things we wouldn't have expected in
her previous introductory episodes - yet by the end of
Series 5 there were no answers. We'll find out who River
Song is in Series 6.

Characters and images that were introduced in Series 5
are returning in Series 6. Things like the Amy, Rory, the
Lodger TARDIS, Winston Churchill, Craig Owens, Sophie &
Dorium Maldavar are all back in Series 6.

Alien races featured in Series 5 are returning in Series 6:
Cybermen, Sontarans & Silurians. Even the Ood were
featured in a cameo in Series 5.

I just get the feeling, more than any previous seasons, that
these 2 are telling one big story. Maybe I'm wrong. I won't
know until it's all played out. And the first new episode is
on tonight. :)
