Above is the trailer for the second half of Season 6 from Comic Con. The biggest news from the Doctor Who panel today was the announcement of the air date in the US and UK for Let’s Kill Hitler, the first episode when the season returns from hiatus. It will air August 27. There will also reportedly be lots of cliff hangers in the second half of the season, and Karen Gillan, who earlier stated she will be returning for Season 7, teased: “My secret, I’ve still got. And you still don’t know it. It’s so exciting! I feel so powerful now.”

I hope to have video of the Doctor Who panel later tonight or tomorrow to post.

Perhaps the delayed schedule for next season is making it possible for Karen to return.

While waiting for the full Doctor Who panel, here are two interviews with Matt Smith and Karen Gillan. In the first, Karen Gillan reveals that she is a Trekie:
