Quite a long teaser and it had elements of Steven Moffat’s own Blink, because like Sally Sparrow in that earlier episode, Amelia gets messages from the Doctor that he had delivered from another time.
Surprised seeing the Daleks in a museum but the biggest surprise from the teaser came at the end when Amelia sees her older self in the Pandorica.
Unlike the two Brigadiers in Mawdryn Undead and Rose and her baby self in Father’s Day, there are no adverse effects when Amy came into physical contact with Amelia. This really goes to show how much the universe has collapsed as the damage has already been done. Amy having physical contact with Amelia made no difference at all.
Very funny when River asked about the Doctor wearing a fez and how quickly Amy threw it in the air so that River could should it.
Why was that Dalek so afraid of River.
Very tender scene between the Doctor and a sleeping Amelia.
Had a smile when the Doctor popped up at the wedding seeing that everything is finally alright.
Amy and Rory are married and for the first time ever there is a married couple travelling in the TARDIS.

Confidential Cutdown – 5 x 13 – Out of Time:
Also the name of a Torchwood episode.
Perfect delivery from Beth Willis of something new, something borrowed, something blue.
Hints of what the next season is going to be about with that of the Silence and just who is River Song.
Matt and Karen are in New York to promote the series.
I share the reaction of Carla Eberhardt from GWTV on being amazed at the size of the fanbase in New York attending the special screening of The Eleventh Hour and they were clearly not disappointed.

Loved this episode and all the others I had missed whilst travelling.

Must admit a huge crush on Mr VanGogh but I had a similar reaction to Amy and River about the Doctors Fez

I have completely warmed up to Matt Smith and am immensely curious as to who River Song is!

Very flashy, ending. Very Moff Timey wimey. With some unanswered questions for next season.
Liked the method of the Doctor's resurrection.
But I can't be the only one who doesn't think the Doctor can ever be erased from existence, as he's saved the universe so many times? Also he now appears to be God?

I'm gonna regard that rumour as dubious unless you tell us where RTD said that, but does Moff agree?

RTD saying that closing the cracks in S5 meant that the Cardiff rift is also closed now is odd. It never crossed my mind that the rift was a crack until I read the interview, and even now I'm having trouble trying to think of them as the same thing

I think he just meant it was a handy excuse for Jack and Gwen to be able to go off globe-trotting without worrying about what might be going on with the rift. It wasn't part of some long-term plan or anything.
