I thought the episode was OK. I thought it had lots of plotholes that I can't seem to make sense of though. Regardless of that, I think that the episode served it's purpose in sending the Ponds off in a heart-wrenching manner. I pretty much knew it would end like that due to spoilers. I'm glad that Amy and Rory were able to spend their lives together. But on another hand I'm really sad about the loss of Amy and Rory. I wish it didn't have to end that way (I would have preferred an ending like The God Complex). The episode was basically Amy's Choice redux. I think that there could have been a better way to send off Amy and Rory than by making her choose again. Amy already has proven in Series 5 and 6 that she chooses Rory. It tore me up inside to see the way The Doctor reacted at Amy's choice to get zapped by an angel. "Come along Pond, please!" is quite possibly the most heartbreaking thing he's ever had to say to her. In the end he did have to stand over her grave and it breaks my heart. I am so attached to the dynamic they have together.
Yeah, it was weird to make Amy choose again. It's pretty obvious she's going with her husband. His reaction to losing Amy seemed contrary to how the Doctor treated her in the past, when he was always pushing her towards Rory.
