Re: Dr. Who New Season SPOILER
I like that sly way of letting you know that Mark Sheppard's character is gay - also his father plays the older Canton Deleware III, which is a fun bit of casting.
I too think that the little girl in the astronaut suit is young River Song. When the astronaut zaps The Doctor mid-regeneration, his swirly energy moved off into the surrounding area - yeah, so maybe he is the baby inside Amy Pond.
Some people think River Song is the future Amy Pond (River, Pond - get it?) and that if Amy IS pregnant with the Doctor regeneration-style, it would explain River's almost motherly feelings toward The Doctor... I used to wonder if she was The Doctor's mother... she very well might be!
Also, remember that River died in the Silence in the Library episode, and The Doctor didn't know her... this is all so cool.
Annnd, The Doctor says something like "don't worry, I know you" to the astronaut right before it zaps him - wanna bet that's River Song in there, too? She's the only one obsessed with the concept of The Doctor not knowing who she is (as they are traveling through time opposite each other, sorta).
Also, The Silence aliens are CREEPY!
Is Rory still a robot?
