"Haven't you figured that one out yet?"
Oh Moff you silly.
Really can't wait for the show to start up again

What worries me the most about that trailer starts at 0.26.
Can. Not. Wait.
Isn't it some type of temporal law that each human time traveler will try to kill Hitler?
The first step in being sane is to admit that you are insane.
I belive its a corilarry to murphys law as applied to time travel.
Now we aren't ready quite yet to let the catgirls out of the bag.... (quote from ex libris)

most of the opponents I recognize, but not the china-face doll. Is that something new or from the old series?
Something new.

Maybe in your temporal continuity, but around here, that winds up being the job of the overworked mods of the International Association of Time Travelers. The flamewars over killing Hitler on the Members' Forum Subforum for Europe Twentieth Century Second World War can get ugly.

We will honor the past, and fight to the last, it will be a good way to die...
I have been wondering since the first appearance of Eyepatch Woman why they picked someone to play her who has a similar appearance, including skin tone, to River.
If some of the fan theories are correct that River is capable of regeneration, I suppose she could have a dark side regeneration.

3 River Songs out there (River, Eyepatch, and Melody Pont)? Seems unlikely, but the Grand Moff may just try it... Never know...

Good to see Cass from Outcasts has found himself in another BBC Sci-fi show. Can't wait, truth be told.

You know... it's entirely possible Moff may try to pull a "Valeyard" on River. Eyepatch may be what she "might" become- a dark side working to ensure that her reality comes to pass...

"Well, there's going to be some light music and a short note of apology saying, 'The universe ended last week, we're really sorry, we don't know what you're doing here, didn't you get the message?'"- Steve Moffat

Well, River DID get stuck in a computer system too.|

I'm sure Eyepatch and the Valeyard would have lots to trade bits and bytes over.

Clicking on the linked image above will take you off the City of Heroes site. However, the guides will be linked back here.

Well, it'd be a bit odd to give away such a major twist in the trailer, I'm expecting it'll be something else and that scene was included to do what a trailer is designed to do, get people talking.

Maybe she's gonna throw the Doctor's new catchphrase back in his face... I can hear it now: "I wear an eyepatch now. Eyepatches are cool."

I am just happy that Amy will be back for series 7.
In terms of story, I think it is rather unfortunate that I saw what I saw online a while back. It may hold the answer to what happens.

Although, it's far more likely that EPW becomes River than River becoming EPW. I can see EPW getting killed off, just to regenerate into River. The regen would fix her eye, but she'd still be wearing the eyepatch. A big part of River being in jail may be from crimes she committed as EPW.

I second idea this but had to fix it just a bit!

Assuming the Moff had a hand in the trailer, then River = EPL (Kovarian) would be exactly what he wants you to think, and therefore is a bluff.
Haven't you figured it out yet?
(oh, and Kovarian and River are not the only people wearing that eyepatch in the trailer, although I can't take the credit for spotting the others. Ether the eyepatch itself is important, or the BBC cuts are even worse than I thought...)
I really should do something about this signature.
Acutually surprised that nobody has posted this yet.
BBC has released a trailer for the second half of season 6 here.
Things that popped out at me the most: River with Eye-patch Lady's eye-patch.
Also, Rory and Amy and the Doctor save Hitler! (And Rory punches him)
