I've been out of the abbey two days, I've beaten a lawman senseless, I've fallen in with criminals. I watched the captain shoot the man I swore to protect. And I'm not even sure if I think he was wrong.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.

The entire portion in the nursing home was one of the creepiest things ever.

The Doctor telling Nixon he has to tape everything in the Oval Office? Priceless.

Literally howling with laughter over that one. That and the David Frost comment.

Yes.

Also, Moffat is evil.

Literally howling with laughter over that one. That and the David Frost comment.

And, of course, Mark Sheppard's wonderful "Yes...he is."

But that ending with the little girl. OMG! WTF?

I think Amy's fears about what traveling in the TARDIS might do to a gestating child are not all that far fetched.

I love the reveal that Rory does remember his 2000 years of waiting.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

So Amy has Schrödinger's pregnancy? And she's the mother of a Time Lord? Maybe?

Yes. WTF.

Yes, someone please explain that. Because I was pretty certain of the River is Amy's daughter and the little girl theory and then the end. Also WTF is up with the pregnancy test?

Yes, I was thinking that too, but is it Rory's child? TCG wants to know if the Tardis could have impregnated her. It is supposed to be alive, right?

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Oh dear God.

WTF TIME LORD BABY.

I'm surprised they defeated the Silence already, but...I don't know if it's really over. Surely they'll be back.

Well, surely not everyone with the kill on sight order in their heads have the means to do that. So, yeah, I'm guessing they're not completely gone. Especially since they apparently have underground tunnels everyone.

I hope they bring back Canton. He was a great character. And I would think he and the Doctor would need a little more interaction to get to the point where he'd invite him to his wake, so to speak. I do get the feeling that Canton knew something about the Doctor's plan there, though, since he didn't seem confused or terribly upset. I love that they got Mark Sheppard's dad to play the role, thought I guess it's not the first time they've done that.
