So, have heard some murmuring about Doctor Who - specifically, about tonight's kickoff of the sixth season.

Posit: the mysterious summons is from a time-traveler. Why? Much was made about the envelopes being in 'TARDIS blue'. There is concern about The Doctor being hurt, injured or possibly caused to die/regenerate (despite clips from episodes up the line); a mysterious "Impossible Astronaut" was seen in a clip from tonight's episode attacking/causing turbulence for/admiring the dental work of/shining bright lights A.K.A. causing a danger for The Doctor.

Extrapolate initial posit per Occam's Razor; the most prevalent time traveler in the Doctor Who universe is Who? Not Bud Abbot, but the Doctor.

Thus, at some point temporally downstream, the Doctor sends the summons into the past; technically, he cannot loop back on his own timeline - assume that Televised Flexible Physics comes into play and that 'cannot' is downgraded to 'should not as it will cause grave repurcussions, probably death', add that an astronaut's space suit is extremely protective, providing a seperate, free-standing environment, and I believe we can thus hypothesize with middling accuracy that the mysterious "Impossible Astronaut" is The Doctor from a future point.

I like Matt Smith as the Doctor, btw; I've seen two episodes or so, but intend to get caught up. Eventually.

He's fun as the Doctor. He brings both a certain joyous whimsy and an "very old person" feel to the character whenever they are called for.
