You're not crazy… at least not about this.

I've always liked Peaches but didn't realize how many other people do too until I was singing it under my breath at work one day. Half the office was humming it by lunchtime. It's either more popular than I'd realized or one hell of an earworm.

Millions of peaches. Peaches for me…

Ron's beard is the new Boyd's hair, at least until Justified comes back.

Every time Mac appears on the screen, all I see is a young Jack White.

And what about the eye makeup when Castle visited her after the surgery? It looked like she woke up in post-op and demanded her eyelash curler and cosmetics bag. The fact that the rest of her face looked pretty natural made the eyeshadow look all the more ridiculous given the circumstances.

Oh I absolutely think the Doctor knew Rory wasn't a goner in the Black Spot. I remember mentioning at the time that he didn't even try to put on a good show of saving him for Amy's sake. Which, of course, raised the question of why he'd sit by and let Amy's break for those few minutes. He really hasn't been himself

As I was watching last night I was struck again and again by all the callbacks and contradictions - the apple, the Rubik's cube, the mop and the tea especially. Speaking of the cube, when did the Doctor finish it? When it first comes out of his pocket, it was scrambled but when it's sitting on the table after his shit

I liked finding out that the TARDIS was River's driving instructor. It was a great callback to the episode where River said she was taught by the best and it was a shame The Doctor was busy that day. (I have no idea which one that was, I'm terrible with remembering episode titles, sorry).

Possibly. I was just wondering why The Doctor didn't regenerate on his own after the poison killed him. Could it be that Ganger Doctor lacks some Doctor-ness. The miner's ganger didn't show any sign of pain or fear when he fell into the giant vat of acid, so maybe hangers are missing some of their originals'

He did, when she woke up in the hospital. And then River gives it to Rory as a wedding gift for Amy, which sparks her whole reviving-The-Doctor-through-memories trick. But why would The Doctor go back to the wedding? If River is who/what she is because she was conceived on the TARDIS, then it wouldn't make sense for

Anybody else think the tux, cane and top hat was a hint that The Doctor had just come from Rory and Amy's wedding? I have no idea why he'd go back, but the outfit definitely felt familiar and that's the only tux-worthy occasion I remember.

The Doctor made a couple of references to spoilers tonight, which brought up an interesting question. So has our perspective as the audience now shifted? If, up to this point, we've been seeing The Doctor's relationship with River through his eyes are we now about to see it through hers? After seeing The Doctor piece

And even once she is imprisoned, the prison doesn't seem to be remotely secure. She's there because, as she said, she made a promise, yet she breaks out any time she feels the need.  I'm very interested to see how we'll go from tiny time cops [who apparently forgot to check the calendar] 'giving her hell' to River

Assuming she was the little girl who regenerated in the alley at the end of Day of the Moon, then River was at one point in her past a little white girl. What caused that kid to regenerate is beyond me.

Is it possible
that instead of being part Time Lord River is actually part Tardis? The Doctor has always referred to The Tardis as a living thing and we've now seen her personified. According to The Doctor, you can't just cook up a Time Lord but what if you could whip up a human Tardis hybrid? We've seen time and

I've long suspected that River kills Rory. She's said something to the effect that she killed the best man she'd ever known and while that could certainly be read to mean she kills The Doctor, that seems too obvious to me.

Damn you for making sense! And here I sit, thinking I was on to something.

So you think The Doctor was already headed there when he was trying to drop Amy and Rory off for fish and chips? Could be. The Doctor seemed a little too eager to agree with Amy's assertion that they arrived on the island by accident.
