I live for "I know that actor!" moments, it's true.

YES.  YES.

HA.  The spaceship-looking mofo through the maintenance door that Song goes into?

THE ONE FROM THE LODGER.  (s06e11.)

HA.

Also, the ex-FBI guy, Canton, is also Badger, from "Firefly".  I didn't recognise him because the ex-FBI guy in this ep is a gravelly-voiced clever guy*, whereas Badger is a Cockney weasel.

* When Rory puts his hand on Canton's shoulder in the Tardis, and he is still in shock due to Tardis, but he also nods like "Yeah, I was listening".  I like that he had awareness of his surroundings, and his surroundings included that he was in shock.  "How long has Scotland Yard had this?"

In non-spoiler news, I have never quite cared about Amy -- not caring about being somewhat different from not caring for, mind.  But Rory has really come to grow on me.  From this ep:

The Doctor: Rory, would you mind going with [River Song into a dangerous-type place]?
Rory: Yeah. A bit.
The Doctor: Then I appreciate it all the more.
Rory: *sigh* *utterly reluctant* Hang on River... I'm coming too...

Arthur Darville's delivery of that line was so perfect. I love his sensible one role.

At first, I thought Rory was going to be another Mickey (early-to-middle Mickey), all clingy jealous boyfriend nonsense, but he has really grown on me.
