Loved Nixon's final scene, wish we could've seen Nixon actually being persuaded to join the team though. And really loved the way the Doctor kept producing him whenever he needed to.
Rory is the best companion ever. I love him so much. Was very annoyed at the whole "fell out of the sky bit" and will get very annoyed if we keep rehashing the Rory is convinced that Amy loves the Doctor thing, but I will confess to loudly squeeing when she called him stupid face.
River's final bits were heartbreaking, perhaps didn't need the "and a last" I think the facial expression from Alex Kingston got the message across well enough without the rather cheesy line, brilliant acting there.
The Silence are brilliant, I was slightly apprehensive after The Impossible Astronaut, they were scary but probably not worth the hype, then came today. They were terrifying, every time they looked at their hands and it was blinking, wow. I don't think any TV show has scared me so much since watching a certain Power Rangers when I was eight.
The way that the Doctor defeated them was genius. Complete and utter genius, Stephen Moffat I tip my hat to you. And yet at the same time I'm left wondering, the Empire of Silence has Fallen. We're missing something here.
And finally, the girl. So many unanswered questions. She's Amy's daughter (which incidentally means we've lost some months somewhere), the Silence have some reason for wanting her and she can regenerate. I refuse to accept she's the Doctor's child, I'm a die hard Amy/Rory shipper, but has it ever been explicitly been stated that only Time Lords can be given regeneration cycles? It could even tie in to that old piece of cannon that Time Lords don't have to be Gallifreyan and that humans can join their ranks.
Also, there seems to be some link to the Time Lords and the Silence, there's no way the design of their TARDIS is coincidence (what happened to it at the end? Did it go to the Lodger? That doesn't seem to tie in with the theory of the Silence being in the Doctor's TARDIS during that episode), perhaps they gave Amy's child a regeneration cycle somehow? I'm missing some part of the Big Picture here, but what? We still don't know the Silence's motives, why blow up the TARDIS? Why get humans to build a space suit? Why take Amy's Daughter? And how does it tie in to the scene by the lake? This isn't the last we'll see of Canton, that's for sure.
Also the final bit was hilarious. "Or we can just go off and have some adventures" and I'm left wondering what a Time Head is? Oooh, thought just struck me! What if Amy's right? What if travelling through time repeatedly while pregnant has done something to the baby? Given her regenerative powers? Caused her to be an object of interest to the Silence. I like this idea...
Edit: And in all the awesome I forgot something that might be important. The door of the girl's room, what was up with that? To my mind the woman looked like River with something on her face, but it was too quick to see. Also, I find it hilarious how the season 32 forum has got two episodes in it, and a third of the posts of season 27.
