yeah, Rory's got himself a really cool title now.

I also find it nice that the doc saved a lot of his former enemies and put them in his debt. OTOH, he got the Silurian army commander, Staal the Not-quite-so-undefeated-anymore-but-never-mind, a couple of Judoons, the pirates from the 3rd ep, and I guess he also got help from the Cybermen (or forced).

I may not be getting this right since I'm not that familiar with the pre-2005 eps - The gallifreyans became timelords by being exposed to the time vortex for billions of years, but melody pond was able to do the same thing because Rory and Amy fucked inside the tardis (which means she was conceived while being exposed to the TARDIS' matrix thingie)?

Also, does this mean River has two hearts?

And that eyepatch chick, who is she? How is she able to control the TARDIS? (I guess the events from the previous season/cracks were her doing)
