Thanks for this! All of it has given me much to think about.

I love how Amy and River both are part of the stories even as they record those stories- River in her blue diary and as Melody Malone and in the library (GOD THAT LIBRARY) and Amy as a child play acting as finally as Amelia Williams. I found it interesting that Clara said she always hated history in The Rings of Akhaten. Such an opposite to Amy and River.

Also, love the references to Sherlock and Skyfall- we already know that we are both on the same page with that ;)
