I laughed like a loon when Rory said "America salutes you" ... and then (by American standards) did it wrong.
Hee! Me, too. (And I am almost 85% certain they did it on purpose.)
Okay, *Blam!*Blam!* "Welcome to America" too.
I laughed and cheered! Moffat can make all the jokes about trigger happy Americans he wants, when he also shows those guns come in dang handy when fighting creepy, big-headed, interstellar tyranny.
how did all those races last year keep wittering on about "The Silence is coming" - they wouldn't know either!
This didn't occur to me when I was watching (I was struck by the revelation, then carried along by the action), but that's an excellent point. I had thought "silence" referred to the shrinking of the universe. IIRC, Prisoner Zero said "The universe is cracked. The Pandorica will open. Silence will fall." Listing those events in that way implied to me that "silence" referred to the result of the TARDIS explosion. I hope that the events we saw tonight relate somehow to the crack in the universe storyline, which I believe is not totally resolved (due to the Doctor not knowing who was pulling the TARDIS and causing the explosion).
