I think I was a bit let down by this episode because I expected there to be more exploration of Amy and Rory's relationship and I was thrown because it was more from Rory's POV than anyone's (although I do like seeing things from Rory's perspective, it wasn't what I thought it would be, so I was going, "Huh?").
See this is where being me is very handy. I know I'm weird in this, but I generally don't have any expectations when I watch things - or rather, I expect to be entertained, and with DW I hope for some good character moments, some continuity and hopefully a story without too many plotholes. Of course there are things I'd love to see happen, but I never presume that the story will go in that direction - although when it does, I'm thrilled. Maybe it's some kind of subconscious way of shielding myself from disappointment? Whatever the case, it makes me a very easy viewer.

But the version I watched didn't have the preview for next week (I don't think? I don't remember it), so if you say it's gonna happen next time, I'll hold my horses. :D
Heh. I can't guarantee anything, but it looked Rory/Amy centric. Or Rory/Amy/Doctor.

I do adore your thoughts on the tension between youth/age. That's very insightful.
Oh thank you! Once I began thinking about it, the fact that they deal with the Doctor's youthful looks in such a head-on way made me rather happy.

And even though I feel like the love triangle thing was done to death with Rose and Mickey it looks there's gonna be a different spin on it this time and I do like Rory (I liked Mickey, too, but I didn't always like the writing for him).
Same here. I don't blame Nine for clinging to Rose like a drowning man, but the whole 'Mickey the Idiot' wasn't something I loved. Thankfully this time the Doctor is... not so clingy. *g*

The setting this time was loads of fun, and so was Rosanna.
Oh yeah!
