Doctor Who analysis. If you haven't seen it, please don't look.
SPOILER LINE
1. River is Amy and Rory's. She's apparently half Time-Lord and half-human, though why the Doctor didn't detect the half Time-Lord bit in River before is beyond me. Maybe the human bit shorts it out a little.
It explains how she can read Gallifreyan (built in somewhere in the DNA, I would assume) and how she can fly a TARDIS (Doctor would want his little half-Time Lord friend/mate/girlfriend/lover/companion's kid to know which buttons are which.)
2. Shagging in the TARDIS while riding in the vortex is a bad idea, as it makes future children a bit of a liability. There'd be a manual on this but the Doctor threw it into a supernova because he disagreed with it.
3. This wasn't that much of a cliffhanger, seeing as we got all the lovely reveals and we know he's going to pick the kid up and bring her home to Mummy and Daddy. Hopefully if he rescues her the man will hijack his own death in some way.
4. We still don't know who River kills, although NOW it could be Rory because he's her father.
5. I am sick of the amount of goop-people and goop-babies. It's already an overused plot device.
6. And we still have no idea who the voice in the TARDIS was last year, although that could be cleared up in September.
That's it! The Doctor has risen to the point of telling people who he is and having them run away in fear. River doesn't like it because it gives him a little too much power, therefore he has to be brought down a few notches. Hence the fall.
I'll pick up again with reviews in September when the show comes back around. I will update this page with theory stuff when my brain is working again; it's very late here and I'm going to bed before my head explodes.

PS: This morning, I went back and found all my River notes. This was the stuff that was (mostly) right out of all that drivel...
The kid is either River or it's Amy's child and I haven't decided which. Probably not River. Awfully young for regeneration, eh? (I was right on both counts and then wronged myself, but the first one counts. Score!)
I also said she didn't give a fig for Rory. (Guess I was wrong). Lots of smart people have decided that River's gun is aimed at Rory now, since he just won "Best Man of the Year" award for being her papa and never ceasing to find her and her mother no matter what.
I do NOT believe she is Time Lord in any portion (as he would have figured that out already...) Um, oops.
The only way for him to put his life back together will be River. (Ho, was I right here. She's the whole reason he's off on the TARDIS alone chasing after Madame Kovarian.)
I am tentatively assuming that the baby in the photos, the child in the spacesuit, and the little girl who regenerates are all the same child, making the kid Amy's, and if the prequel bit I saw was to be believed, we know who Daddy is as well. (Yes, the kid in the photos, the kid in the spacesuit, and the kid who regenerates are all the same child. The kid is Amy's. The kid is River. I got it wrong on Daddy, though. Oh, well.)
Here's a theory for September's stuff:
The man whose voice we heard last year is behind the entire thing, I assume, because Madame Kovarian is not running things here. She's merely a pawn. Someone who knows the Doctor inside out and backwards and clearly wants him neutralized would be my guess, and that could be one of a million people.
We won't be seeing who that man is and why he wants the Doctor dead so badly for a few episodes yet, since I assume he was the one who built the Pandorica and who stole baby Melody/River from her parents and set the Doctor off to find the infant that will become his future wife.
Let's Kill Hitler!
