Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
Dr. Who: Sighhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
That was sublime.
From way back in the first discussion:
I absolutely adored River and Amy teaming up to destroy the fez. There's something about their dynamic together that I really like. I also have a suspicion that there is some connection between the two that will be revealed next season, but that's more a gut feeling than anything else.
Anyone else think for a second Amy Pond would wake up and find River and the Doctor as her parents?
MY TINY LITTLE DAD! That whole sequence was so wonderful.

I have an out-there theory that River may be Rory and Amy's daughter, and that's how River knew that the Doctor would figure out who she was not too long after the wedding.

If Amy Pond is the Doctor's Mother in Law that's sort of epic.

"We're all stories, in the end. Just make it a good one, eh?"
I have extreme love for that Amy-as-River's-mother theory. Although I still think that Jack is going to play a role in River's story.
They'd better have a good payoff for these 'complicated' hints, whatever it is.

Nice observation by the AV Club:
This year has been about Amy reuniting with a magic-seeming man who filled her childhood with wonder and mystery, a man nobody else remembered. Isn’t that really the story of the Russell T. Davies and now Stephen Moffat versions of the Doctor? Sure, Doctor Who never lost its cult entirely, but the show’s following diminished greatly over the years. It took those who remembered it, and believed in it, to bring it back. And here we all are.

Someone over at another board pointed out one of my favorite little bits from this ep--when the Doctor called Rory "Mr. Pond."
"No, that's not how it works here."
"Yes, it is."
"Yeah, it is."
Hee.
