@Steve Williams: It became an interesting and educational challenge. I also learned the band Wolfmother has an album called Sonically Yours.

@Steve Williams: It's credited to "Sonically Yours" at about about 3:35 min. into the video.
@Mooncow27: What conflicting information in Wikipedia? No, never!
@Mooncow27: I think this guy is actually meant to represent another related species, a Styracosaurus. Here's further information:
Like other commenters, I'm cautiously optimistic about this. So long as GDT directs, and James Cameron sticks to special effects, it might be the "The Lovecraft Movie"
Wow the fairy-land hot-tub soft-porn sequence was cheese-tastic! I thought I'd add this though:
@Starlionblue: You should try "Triton"
@Knight_of_Pentacles: I also remembered my other favorite Le Guin short story collection, The Wind's Twelve Quarters. I like that one so much I'v bought copies of it to give to my friends as an introduction to her writing.
I had initially dismissed this movie as a cheap rip-off of District 9 (D9). However, maybe it is more than that. Like D9. it's low budget, but appears to focus on the characters and their stories. The concept of trying to contain the invasion, and the characters crossing the containment area is fairly novel idea.
@Valkyrie607: I'll second The Compass Rose, I've re-read that several times! Tales of Earthsea is also a very good short-story collection.
I absolutely agree with Ms. LeGuin's highly negative opinion of the SiFi "adaptation" of the Earthsea Trilogy. I re-read the trilogy in preparation for the SiFi series, and one of my friends read it for the first time. As we tried to watch the series on SiFi, we kept wondering WTF? It certainly wasn't really…
@gods-n-clods: No, see goat.
@Atomictao: I really liked the Space Florida refrence, and Amy's oversized sunglasses.
@Rossum: I agree with your assessment of the Dr. priming Amy's memories as a child. I thought the TARDIS-like note book and the connection to the old saying were a great way to trigger those memories. Where else would that saying apply but at a wedding?
@Bellemort: I agree completely, it would have been good to tie that into the finale. Amy and Rory and/or the Dr. could have walked by the duck pond and thrown a crust of bread to the ducks, etc. It did seem to me that the absence of the ducks was made a big point in the first episode.
@girlsaregeeks: Nah, SyFy won't let us forget the first half of the season. They'll likely re-run every previously show episode in preparation for the "new" episodes. I even expect a marathon of them on the weekend before the first "new" one premiers.
@Davio: He must have really high cholesterol if steaks are going to endanger his life.
@Defendant: Thanks! I'll have to look into that episode. I wondered if it wasn't a tie-in to one of Captain Jack's Dr. Who episodes.
@LePhil: This is exactly what they tried to do to Captain Jack Harkness in a couple of Torchwood episodes. If you can't kill him, it's the next best option.
I'm hoping to find out what I think is the greatest unsolved mystery of season 5. In the first episode, "The Eleventh Hour" The Doctor asks Amy Pond why there are no ducks in the duck pond? I think the absence of the ducks needs to be resolved in a future episode . . .
