I thought the bird house was cool too. I must've glossed over it.

Thanks Marc!
More on the episode.

Yeah...I kept thinking all the way to the end credits that the Tardis would materialize around Solomon and save him. Really surprised by that turn. Kinda like it, kinda not sure if I do. The Doctor is kinda going emo for Amy and then acting out with a little bit of violence there at the end.
Also, I loved the start with the horn in the Doctor's pocket.

Its a very cool birdhouse! And great gift idea
The Doctor has always been a bit dark though and his older incarnations had used violence.
In the first episode the First tried to kill with a rock, Four snapped a neck and Six push guards into acid. And as for Seven, well he was a bit more sinister at times.
I think the thing with the Doctor is he isnt really a hero, just always on an adventure, ends up interfering and saving the moment due to his superior intellect... He stole his mode of transport and was exiled from his own planet after all, i think Moffat is really starting to get back to the consequences of his past actions.

Hmm. I definately not a Who expert. I always thought he was supposed to be a pacifist more or less.
He is.... sort of....

wibbly wobbly. Its complex.
We are talking about a man who committed genocide against his own species and attempted genocide against another.

He's supposed to be, but has always had a dark and violent streak. Hell, the 6th Doctor sneaks up behind a guy and murders him with a cyanide soaked rag in The Two Doctors and then drops a quippy James Bond one-liner.

Really enjoyed The Power of 3.

That is awesome! is that Borderlands?
I really enjoyed 'The Power of Three' it was a really great idea to show the world from the view of the companion.
The whole Shakri felt shoe-horned in at the last minute, as did the freaky 'Empty Doctor' style nurses and wavy Sonic ending. All of which i understand when the episode is entirely character based, need some space and odd baddies to keep it 'a Who episode'
Brian was once again a Joy, definatley Moffat era Wilf. And
Kate Lethbridge-Stewart was a great character and lead for UNIT, a female who wasn't too ballsy or full of attitude, a calm and beautiful hark back the the irreplaceable Brig.

Kate Lethbridge-Stewart looks like a character they hope they can use again. This episode was an OK introduction but she needs an edge. I don't buy UNIT becoming a Torchwood clone.
Oops I posted this in the wrong section.

WOW! What a wonderful season so far. Definitely the best Matt Smith season. I keep saying, the pacing of the delivery of the lines has improved 1000%. We actually can make out what they are saying! How novel.
This was such a good mid-season finale. Truly a great way to say goodbye to some companions.

I agree. I think so far thus has been Matt's best season. I am glad he is going to put stay Tennant. Series 7b is shaping up to be a good one too.

So.... This week's episode made me cry like baby. Can't believe how well Matt has fallen into the role.
?'s though!!
and
?'s though!!
Why does Rory age? I thought he was made of plastic / immortal - I mean, he did wait 2000 years right?
and
Did the Doctor go without companions for 300 years? It seems like he and River had a lot more time together, but at the same time, she mentions to him that he had been erasing himself from history as if they hadn't met during his self imposed exile... 
Have to be honest i didn't think 'Angels take Manhatten' was any good, but i cant put my finger on why. I think i found the story to be a little boring, not Moffats worst wrote episode, but definitely not his best.
Going to give it a rewatch though, perhaps i was in a grump when it aired!

Per the first question:
At the end of The Big Bang when Amy reset the universe it was reset to where Rory never died and thus never came back as an auton. However they seemed to have retained their memories after Amy was able to bring the Doctor back.
Per the second question, I don't think we really know.
