Just as long as Canton doesn't show up in a miniskirt...
I had to look up "Jammie Dodgers" and realized we were eating something similar during the episode. Coincidence? I think not!

There's quite a few actors who appeared in the 1963 toi 1989 Who who then turned up in 1987-2005 Trek. Off the top of my head...
Christopher Neame: Skagra in Shada, the lord in Janeway's gothic holo-novel back in early Voyager (also in Blake's 7 and Babylon 5. And once turned up in Dallas and Dynasty in the same week...).
Maurice Roeves: Stotz in Caves of Androzani, Romulan commander in TNG: The Chase.
Guy Siner: General Raven in Genesis of the Daleks, Malcolm's father in Enterprise.
Jane Carr: Computer voice in Slipback (radio serial), Malcolm's mother in Enterprise, Londo's wife in B5.
There's bound to be more... I'm fairly sure there's someone ho wsa in the original series and then turned up in Who after returning to England.

Neame also played the extremely campy "Dark Jedi" villain in a Star Wars video game, Dark Forces II:Jedi Knight. Olaf Pooley, the oldest living Star Trek actor (Seen in Voyager: Blink of An Eye) was also Professor Stalhman in INFERNO (As well as Stalhman's counterpart in the other universe 
.
Also both Leonard Nimoy and Sheppard (Who both appeared in Trek XI) have been the main voiceovers for the Civilization series of PC games, although I think I already mentioned that

I know why. He needs it for when he's in that Laurel and Hardy movie!
Yeah I noticed that too. And how did the Silent make his way unnoticed to the Oval Office in the first place (or even to a White House bathroom)?
Yeah once you look away you forget you see them, but they would still create QUITE a huge commotion before that happened, I would think. Soldiers and Secret Service aren't exactly trained to run or look away from a deadly threat, after all (and certainly wouldn't if that threat were a freaky, big-headed alien!)
My guess is that somehow this particular Silent was only appearing in Amy's mind.
Waters of Mars was far too Martianised. I felt it pandered to a Martian audience, by featuring Mars.
Good points. I did wonder about the pandemonium they would cause. Their "disguise" really only works one person at a time. I guess if it breaks down with 2 people, they just off the person, like Joy. But, no good with groups.
And, we also see why it's set in the past. Today, there are too many surveilance cameras and people walking around with camera, such as in their phones like Amy.
Mr Awe
If it appeared only in Amy's mind, then how did it manage to murder Joy? Or was that an illusion, too?
Hmm, good question. Maybe they're using that "perception filter" technology that we heard a lot about last season, and can disguise themselves or appear only to the people they wish to appear to.
Of course if they had that ability, there wouldn't be much need for their special amnesia powers....
Actually, Christopher Neame was in the Beowulf holoprogram in Voyager's Heroes and Demons. He was also a German General in Enterprise's Storm Front.

I liked it. Didn't love it, by any means, but I didn't hate it either.
The aliens were creepy, and the concept of forgetting them after you lose sight of them is interesting. I love the quirky aspects of this Doctor, but he still almost feels like a secondary character to me. I like the fact that Doctor doesn't trust River. It's obvious that Amy and Rory's future child is critical to this season's arc. Although I liked Amy early last season, I grew to like her less as that season wore on, and I never liked Rory. I wish they were no longer on the TARDIS. I'm also a bit weary of mostly arc-based stories. I would like to have seen some feeling of resolution in this single story.
Oh well. I'm still watching.

The whole bit with the "What? A mysterious summons and you think i'm just going to go?"
Shades of the tenth doctor and the Ood summons.
I like the "Don't play games with me, don't ever ever think your capable of that"
I do miss the shaggy hair. He's too clean cut now.
