This one was all about making choices and the relationships between the characters. The plot was irrelevent and wasn't meant to be the focus IMO. Amy getting out-of-time could have happened any number of ways. I think it also sets up Amy & Rory's departure from the series.
Oh, I agree the character work was excellent. And the makeup on future Amy was incredible.
Yep - I certainly can't think of a better example off the top of my head.Best, most realistic 'aged' makeup I've seen on anyone, anywhere.
I wonder what the doctor might have seen in room 11 (11 for 11 regenerations?). I'd suspect that the thing he might be most scared of is himself. After all, he has been responsible for a couple of effective genocides (or more), and he realises in this episode how dangerous he is to his companions - a theme which Rory amplifies too.
So, what's up with the Doctor liking apples again now? Or was that just a replica of an apple?

He prefers to be called Stormageddon, Dark Lord of All.
Cute episode with the ending being the most interesting part with the set-up for next week. It could be tremendous or a colossal mess. When The Doctor said 'it's time to go' at the end it looks like he really meant 'it's time to go to the lake meeting after about 37 more minutes of screen time.' I'm curious to see how Moffat ties this one together but then another season/series will be in the books.
But didn't the Impossible Astronaut say something that the Doctor at the lake who dies being several hundred years older? I don't see how the Doctor at this age can be going to the lake, unless they're mixing Doctor timelines and not telling us.

The Cyberman episode was 200 years after the previous episode. He spent 200 years travelling around.
But we haven't seen Billy the Fish yet!
