1.So River gets pardoned, because the Doctor never existed. Hmm...How does that work? Or more specifically, when does she get pardoned, I wonder? In the S5 Angels episodes, she still needs a pardon, but all of that got rewritten anyway. Still, I like that she's not serving that sentence, even if it was pretty flexible to begin with, given how often she broke out of prison.

2. If I think about this too long, I will cry, but in her last scene, I love that Amy calls River "Melody," and also that she tells Melody to look after the Doctor - because that relationship is so fluid; sometimes the Doctor is impossibly ancient and sees little Amelia when he looks at Amy, but Amy is equally capable of seeing the Doctor as someone who needs looking after. He's not...epic to her, any more, and she just loves him and doesn't want him to be alone.

3. Two moments where I was kind of like, "oh here, Matt Smith, I will just hand you my heart right now and save you the trouble":
--the bit where he's so pleased that River has (seemingly) gotten away from the Angel without breaking her own wrist: she did it, she rewrote time, it's going to be okay. And then it isn't, at all.
--putting on Amy's reading glasses, and the way he closes his eyes tightly as though just doing that hurts, because earlier he was so playful and insouciant in those same glasses, and you can see that memory happening in the way he shuts his eyes. Ouch.

4. "So you think you'll just come back to life?"
"When don't I?"
Oh, Rory, I love you so much, you impossible ridiculous miracle.
