   Again, not a review.  Just some random thoughts that occurred while I   
   was watching.

   So I was right: Amy's shots at the spaceman didn't have any   
   significant effect on the plot, and were just a contrived cliffhanger.   
      
   I'd like to have seen more of the on-the-run-for-three-months side of   
   things, which would probably have been more interesting than the   
   actual plot.   
      
   We all know from The Leisure Hive that the Doctor's beard grows much   
   more slowly than a human's, so 3 months without shaving should just be   
   enough to give him light designer stubble.  Yet another example of the   
   new series deliberately pissing all over the classic one!   
      
   Still, there was a reference to Dwarf Star Alloy to make up for it.   
   The only trouble is, it didn't make any sense in plot terms!  Where   
   would NASA get that much of it from?  Where would NASA get any of it   
   from?  They were only just going to the moon, never mind interstellar   
   trips to mine dwarf stars!   
      
   Good job no-one bumped into the invisible TARDIS while building the   
   wall.  How did it get there anyway?   
      
   And last episode we were told invisibility drains the TARDIS's power,   
   but spending three whole months that way didn't seem to drain it at   
   all.  Yes, the new series is also pissing all over its own continuity   
   too!  No that doesn't make me happy!   
      
   What would've happened if one of the other FBI agents had shot Amy and   
   Rory first?   
      
   More proof of River Song's status as a Mary Sue: the others have to go   
   through the body-bag routine, but she dives off a skyscraper into the   
   TARDIS swimming pool!   
      
   The Silence were on Earth before humans discovered the fire or the   
   wheel.  Could they be related to the Silurians?  Their name could even   
   be a corruption of "Silurians" if you think about it...   
      
   Why didn't Amy say "They're hanging on the ceiling," in her recording?   
      
   Good job Neil Armstrong waited over a minute before adding "One giant   
   leap for mankind."  (I suppose you might be able to rationalise it by   
   saying the Doctor could've asked Nixon to order Armstrong to do that.)   
      
   What about people listening to the moon landing on the radio?  They're   
   going to remember and be confused by the voice saying "Kill us all on   
   sight."   
      
   Similarly, what about David Holman types recording the TV audio on a   
   tape recorder?  Or anyone who wants to edit or use an audio of sample   
   of Armstrong's speech for any reason?   
      
   And even more proof of River Sue: the oh-so-stylish way she guns down   
   all those Silence, including that final one standing behind her, which   
   she shouldn't even remember is there!   
      
   I can't bring myself to care about the story arc at all.  One Mary Sue   
   was already bad enough.  Whoever the girl is, she'll be one too, and   
   that's the only thing that matters.  (And besides, if there's I hate   
   more than stories about Sues, it's stories about kids!)   
      
   Finally, I couldn't remember the episode title when I came to write   
   this post.  (Maybe there was a Silence standing next to my TV when the   
   title was on screen?)  When I went to the BBC website to find out, it   
   it was full of images giving away spoilers of next week's episode.   
   I'd deliberately switched off the TV before the trailer so as not to   
   see its spoilers, but on the website there wasn't even that choice!   
   Couldn't they hide all the stuff about next week behind a link, or   
   something?
