One thing that did grab my attention was Rivers' comment that she was taught to fly the Tardis by the 'very best', and that it was a pity the Doctor was busy that day. If that wasn't some kind of dig at the Doctor, and he genuinely wasn't the one who taught her how to fly it, then it raises some very interesting questions about the Doctors' future, i.e. If there are no Timelords left, who knows how to fly the Tardis even better than the Doctor does?

Jumping to massive conculsions, that hints, to me, to a reformed Master, who was always better with Tardis tech than the Doctor was.

Spoiler:
When Amy Pond accused River's that she was the Doctors wife she states "You're good, I'm not saying you right but your good!" Does this mean she was actually his lover, and maybe the Masters wife, they had an affair, which would add to the Masters hatred for the Doctor.

Spoiler:
would possibly explain the bishops comment to Rivers about if he 'knew' about something and the fact that it was to early in his timeline to know and that they needed to sort the angel situatio before he 'figures it out'

Okay, for those of you who have seen the latest episode.

Spoiler:
Why were the angels snapping necks instead of killing the way they usually do? Was it just cause they were killing for enjoyment?

I also got the impression from what the doctor said - that they weren't strong enough yet, you get the impression in blink that they can fly too yet here they cannot.

Spoiler:
Yeah, also got that impression. Hungry little critters... Or maybe just the simple fact that when you have that large of a power source to feed from, snapping necks is more fun.

Spoiler:
The first bit with the cake was great.  The episode as a whole was solid, but left me wanting somehow.  This thing with the "cracks" is getting a bit creepy.  Also, he was gonna sort out Amy Pond, the single most important activity in the universe, and then they go to Venice?  That was a bit dodgy.

Spoiler:
He mentioned at the start that the problem was that anyone who travelled with him became over-awed by the experience, couldn't return to 'normal' life, and became obsessed with the Doctor, the 'sorting out' he was referring to was with her relationship with her fiancee, which he seemed to do for the most part, though I suspect it will be a recurring theme

Pretty good episode,this week, a bit slow to start, but then, I don't think this series of Doctor Who is actually trying to be the 'one blockbuster after another' attitude that was prevalent near the end of Tennants time, and the advert for next weeks episode very much put me in mind of the episodes of 30 years ago, very Old School Dr Who there, could be interesting.

That's why it's awesome!

I really liked this episode, particularly after the machine-gun pace of the rest of this season.
Spoiler:
"Not vampires. Fish from space." Perfection.

The climax with the switch was pretty sloppy, though.

I agree, the change from something completely cliche worked.

I was completely surprised during the middle-part of the episode and the episode of a whole left a good taste.

Spoiler:
I though it is nice that in this season they don't  use computer made monsters that much (in comparison to Series 2 for example, where the monsters would be just simply computer creators. I find that this season has a bit more balance.

Also, I though the trailer was pretty good as well. the "Dream Lord" character gave me that good old Doctor Who feeling of "unexplained mystical power" like Celestial Toy Maker or the Black Guardian.

Oh, come on! That was hilarious.
Spoiler:
All the build up, life and limb, climbing the tower, and he just has to flick one little switch... it's a brilliant use of false tension. Don't tell me you want an RTD-style CGISplosion climax on every ep?

I actually believe that it's the TARDIS collection...

Thus Doctor's collection...

Spoiler:
God, no! The main reason I didn't like it was precisely because I didn't find it any more satisfying than an RTD deus ex machina. I like it when the Doctor is forced to think his way to a solution. This just made the whole climax feel superfluous.
The rest of the episode made up for it, anyway.

Another very cereberal episode, and very well done as usual, I will admit to suspicions about who the Dreamlord was, but the end was still pretty unexpected. What got me most was how they managed to mix comedy with what was possibly some of the darkest imagery about the Doctor ever presented.

Edit:

Spoiler:
I actually suspected the Dreamlord was the Doctor, but deliberately created by him to push Amy and her boyfriend closer together, since I have a feeling that the Doctor realises that these two getting married is a 'must-happen' in the universe, I got the distinct impression that the cracks in time were caused when the Doctor disrupted that the night before Amy's wedding, which raises the question of 'why didn't the Doctor know?', since he normally can sense people who are important to history
