And I think the Roman is supposed to be the commander, not Rory.
I think it is supposed to be Rory. It's not like the other likenesses are highly accurate. (great set though!)
It's simple. I slap 'em around a bit, torture 'em, make their lives hell...Sure, the nice guys'll run away,but every now and then you'll find a prince like Spike who gets off on it.

The nice thing about Mark and Morgan Sheppard is that this isn't even the first time they've played the same character at different ages: they did it once a few years ago, in an NCIS episode. I love it: I have great fondness for Morgan Sheppard and his sexy, sexy voice.
I think Amy isn't pregnant, but is confabulating the pregnancy out of the illness she gets from the Silence, the urgency, and the awareness that something is wrong.
I do admit that I wanted Rory to yell something when he saw the Silence because that would help, except that of course that would defeat the plot. Still, if he or River had said something, then the Doctor might have had some notice. Argh.
I had a question about River and the Doctor--oh, right. If every time she sees the Doctor, it's earlier in her timeline and later in his, how is it that she even recognized Amy and Rory?
Also, I find it hard to believe that the Doctor went another 200-something years without regenerating. He must have had a very boring time of it. Unless he was lying, which he might have been, as a way of warning them somehow.

How do you know she hasn't met them earlier in her timeline (and later in theirs)?

Point, Jon.
I'm reminded of Chief O'Brien complaining about quantum mechanics. So confusing!

Temporal mechanics? But yeah... very confusing!

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
Well, we know temporal mechanics gives Captain Janeway a headache, so how can we expect to do better?
And... anybody else fancying a nice crossover with Dr. Song and Capt. Janeway working together?

Yes, temporal mechanics, Jon. I blame allergies.

Loved the episode. I only hope they soon drop that stupid, stupid pre-credit narration by Amy. I know they are trying to get new US-ian viewers, but please.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Oh dear, what did they have? Did they have some weird thing after the teaser but before the credits??
