Doctor Who (latest UK ep)

Okay, what the hell was that?

I feel as if there was an episode in between last week's and this week's. What happened? Wouldn't they have suffocated in those body bags? Why was it necessary to have the fake deaths anyway, since they didn't seem to need to hide or censor themselves any other time when they were doing their knees-bent-running-about? Why were they suddenly all on the run and then not? Why were they all separated? Where did Canton get the super-tinfoil black bricks from? How did Amy's recorder thingy keep recording outside her body - the Doctor implied that it stopped when you stopped touching it? Why would Amy note alien sightings on her face just that once? (It's not as if she can see them, and her arms weren't full - it was very obviously just to set her up for the scary mirror thing).

The idea of aliens you forget as soon as you see them is a nice scary idea, but why did it have to be dressed up in lots of stupid time changes and gimmicky stunts (like River diving into the swimming pool)?

I liked River (and it must be hard to play that part without being annoying). I liked Rory. But still. THAT DID NOT MAKE SENSE. At this stage I'm longing for a nice simple monster-of-the-week episode told in LINEAR FASHION.
