The story seemed to be very well thought out, but I must admit the two-part opener of Dr. Who's 6th season was a bit hard to follow at times. I mean, I "got it" all in the end*, but it was such a fast-paced couple eps that I wonder how whether kids (or adults) were able to understand the full complexity of The Silence, the little girl, the foreshadowing of the Doctor's death, etc., or if it was "just a bunch of stuff that happened".
In other news, the companions have gotten more likeable. They're behaving a lot more like a team (dare I say, friends?) and not just a collection of bickering and/or jealous people thrown together.
In the continuity-I'm-supposed-to-be-ignoring bin are The Silence themselves. So they've been in a parasitic (possibly symbiotic) relationship with humanity until 1969? So in all of his pre-1969 adventures, these guys were in the background during every important event and the Doctor never noticed? It doesn't speak well of humanity, although it might explain a few things.
Interesting bit of trivia - the older/younger versions of Agent Delaware are played by an actual father/son duo, the latter of which of course is Mark Sheppard (Romo Lamkin in Battlestar Galactica).
* - with the exception, obviously, of the things meant to be addressed later in the season (how Amy's pregnancy unfolded, why the child appears to be a Time Lord, etc.).
