Well, I'm not going to be extremely analytical here simply because the Doc has been messing with my head so much this season. I do have a few theories concerning the Doctor himself, River Song, and the future of the story.
Subject: River Song.
Melody Pond, Child of the TARDIS, ZOMG she's a time lord, whatever you call her. She regenerated twice, gave Berlin hell, then saved the Doctor via using all her remaining regenerations. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think I heard a mention of something like that in the old series. Either that, or I'm thinking Mawdryn Undead, which was a different case. Either way, Doc's back, and miss hard-coded assassin realizes she doesn't wanna kill the Doctor. I think she might have a relapse before the season finale. Either that, or there's a specific reason for that to happen. I mean, future encounters showed her to feel guilt towards Eleventy. I'm sure that, if she were to be sane at the time of killing him, the guilt would eat her up alive unless she had to. Anyways, enough of that.
Now let's talk about River Song before Eleven was Eleven. The last time she met him; the first time he met her. I'm talking Silence in the Library/Forest of the Dead. Who was River Song? She was a space archaeologist with a TARDIS diary, a Ten-style sonic screwdriver, and the single bit of information many of us fangirls would kill for. Not much else. She was serious, then, as well. It may have been late enough in her life that her emotions wouldn't affect her as much, but I have a hard time linking that River to Melsey Pond.
Subject: The Doctor
Okay, I know he's not as happy-go-lucky as he appears to be. Amy saw that. After The Girl Who Waited, Rory saw it, too. He does take hard decisions seriously, but he has the wits and emotional stone wall to do it. Oh, now don't get all squawky on me, saying he got all mushy with Rose and the others, you'll sound like an old nostagia filter. Rose actually served a purpose in shaping the Doctor's personality. Many, actually. Don't as me to explain, please. ANYways. He knows his death is coming. He doesn't seem to be trying to stop it or run away. Not now, at least. Ten and Fivey did more than enough running for everyone, if I recall. So, what do I think? I think he'll play it out and go with the flow. But he WILL have a backup plan. He always does. Which leads to...
Subject: To be Continued...
Ok, so the previews give us two things: Craig, and Cybermen. If Amy and Rory are in this next episode at all, it'll be at the end. If not, they will most likely be in the finale. The end of The God Complex wasn't their final goodbye.
Okay, so that was pretty analytical. I'm going to sleep now. Peace out.
