Also - Canton's men shot Amy and Rory and stuck them in body bags - did Amy and Rory just fake dead for however long it took Canton to get them to Area 51?
My guess is that the bullets were really strong tranqs.
(Re: Flashback to Series 5 - If no one ever remembers the Silents, how did Prisoner Zero, Signora Calvierri, etc. remember that they were running away from the Silents? THESE ARE THINGS THAT BOTHER ME! That being said, I am SO happy that they made mention of it - after last week's premiere, I was afraid we'd never get any explanation. It's just nice to get a little acknowledgment. It was like Moffat was saying "Yeah, we know you're curious about this and your patience will pay off... just not now.")
I think it could be a play on words. We have a villain called the Silents so we immediately think the saying "Silence will fall" has to do with them. It may just be that they're called the Silents and they're waiting for the Silence but not actually causing it. That's what I think.
I'm more concerned with the fact that the TARDIS scanner blipping back and forth that she is pregnant... and then she isn't. So... Amy's body can't decide if it's pregnant or not? Or the TARDIS scanner can't decide if she's pregnant or not? It's likely an issue with rewriting time, but I can't figure it out beyond that.
I think it's a "time is in flux" thing. Since we had two Doctors on the same time line in the beginning of the ep, it's possible that things are a bit timey wimey. So Amy's being pregnant may be something that hasn't been "decided" yet.
The girl is NOT the Doctor's child and I really don't think she's River Song. I find that idea dubious at best, but I may be wrong (please don't eat me). She does have a connection with Amy, though - but what? It will be interesting to find out.
I think she's the Doctor and River's. Here's a mix of two theories I've heard (with a little bit of my own thrown in at the end): River had the baby. The Silents steal the baby and mindfuck the Doctor and River so that they won't come knocking. The baby is raised in the space suit so her immune system is super weak. She's part Time Lord so she when she dies of exposure, she just regenerates. But because her immune system is so screwy, it just keeps happening. She wasn't a full grown Time Lord to begin with so when she regenerates, she doesn't regress in age as far back as the Doctor usually does (i.e 5-10 years). So that's why she looks the same.
