Pond: "It's the prime minister." Doctor: "Which one." Pond, asks the phone... : "The British one." Doctor: "Which one?" Pond, ask the phone... Then looks just a wee bit freaked: " "Winston Churchill."
Doctor takes the phone. You see Churchill ask the Doctor to come see him, it's urgent-ish, and a shadow of a Dalek on the wall behind him.
Previews for next week... want me to continue? (I know some people who actually put a pillow around their ears and shut their eyes during previews. They want to go into the episode cold...)
Still a bit on the fence, but mostly positive feelings.
Then to next week - cue one of the BLEEPS I was dreading the return of - the Daleks. Don't get me wrong, I LOVE them, they've always scared the crap out of me. I just hoped they'd give them a rest for a little while. I mean they've come back from the dead more than Methos! That said, I am intrigued by the concept that seemed to be presented in the trailer - that some British boffins had (rebuilt? reprogrammed? cloned?) got their hands on some in an attempt to beat Adolf.
I'm a bit more hopeful this time around than I was last time. I'm crossing my fingers for a more oldskool version of the Daleks, with a plot that actually makes sense(wouldn't that be nice?)
Then, hopefully, they'll be retired until they bring back Gallifrey! (Okay, that last bit was possible written with the aid of a tin hat :-P)
Hopefully La Moffat can pull this out the bag and we won't be left feeling confused and dissatisfied. *crosses every available digit*
And yeah, then they (and the Cybermen) can be mothballed, at least for a while. They've got all this rich history to play with (as well as History and the future), there's no need to keep bringing them back people!
I'm sure he'll find a way to restore Gallifrey (minus the galaxy destroying nutjobs of course) that's completely plausible. ;-)

I loved that Amy put together the pieces and used logic rather than emotion to figure out a way out of their predicament.
