As widely reported, Steven Moffat announced at the MediaGuardian Edinburgh TV Festival 2010 that rather than a single 13-episode series of Doctor Who in 2011, we'll get two shorter series in the spring and fall. Related pros, cons, speculation and unreasonable demands lie within!
Might have something to do with Moffat and Gatis being able to work on the next season of Sherlock.
I tend to agree with you Chip (and just not because you name check me in the ep!).
Seasons are short enough as it without making them even shorter – 13 weeks went by very quicky with Season 5 – imagine how quick 6/7 eps will go by?
I think not only will there be a chance to have more condensed story arcs, but there will be the irresistable opportunity to have two big season enders in a year – now Moffatt kinda got away with this year's, but will magic strike twice, and a third time?
