When we first meet River Song (in the episode with the library) she knew all about the Doctor but he didn't knew her. But now she says they are going in opposite directions in time, but there both appear to travel in time, so that confused me. Also I didn't understand why Amy hadn't seen the Doctor for two months at the beginning.

The relationship with River has certainly re-set this series. It is much more flirtatious. I just kinda go with it though.

You make a good point re: Amy not seeing the Dr. for two months. The end of S5 was Rory and Amy yelling good-bye to earth out of the TARDIS door after their wedding, wasn't it?

As for the plot, I ended the episode feeling like all had definitely not been said. I am just going to wait it out and see where it goes.

I really like Matt Smith. He has a Mad Doctoral Student feel to me that is somewhat different from any other doctor I remember. I like that he seems so much younger than any other Doctor. He has this childlike playfulness but also an ability to get very dark and foreboding (almost menacing) in the blink of an eye. But I really only have any past experience with Tom Baker and Peter Davidson. Eccleston and Tennant I have only seen in re-runs a la "The Best Of..." as BBCA sees fit.
