 I am never right when I do this, but I do it anyway.  I've just got a lock on my batty conspiracy theory for Amy, Rory and the Angels.  I don't think the recurring themes are foreshadowing or window-dressing, I think they are narrative coordinates left by Moffat (yes, it's one of 'those' sort of conspiracies).

 :All we really know for sure is that River was able to contact Amy once, to send her the manuscript, not that she was able to maintain regular contact. But of course we don't know that they _didn't_ have more contact than that. I suspect Moffat deliberately left open the possibility of Amy and Rory meeting adult River, little-girl River, and/or young Mels, in case he wants to bring them back for the finale or series 8 without ruining the end of their story. But Moffat leaves a lot of things open and only uses a handful of them, so there's a good chance we'll never know what, if anything, happened between them. --[[Special:Contributions/70.36.140.233|70.36.140.233]]<sup>[[User talk:70.36.140.233#top|talk to me]]</sup> 14:10, September 30, 2012 (UTC)

+Really, what brought River to 1938 in the first place, where she was known by locals to be 'investigating angels'?  Rory asks her 'how' she got there, but not why.  I think she knew this was an 'event' in her life, like she knew about Demon's Run.  I read a lot into River's sudden, insistent encouragement to Amy, that her touching the Angel was the right thing to do.  She seemed pretty confident, almost impatient, to override the Doctor's attempts to discourage Amy.  I think she knew precisely that Amy would land in the past with Rory, which means she had some knowledge of these events earlier on her timeline.  I doubt Moffat will ever violate their departure by filming something set in that part of the timeline, but we might see some bits of River-banter that throw light on it.  [[Special:Contributions/174.25.106.125|174.25.106.125]]<sup>[[User talk:174.25.106.125#top|talk to me]]</sup> 20:10, September 30, 2012 (UTC) (<- Sorry, that was me.

+A few more things I've noticed.  The name Melody (M)alone seems to point toward that era of her childhood in NY (perhaps why show chose it while visiting NY).  Also, the seemingly throwaway British/American pronunciation joke about Winter 'key' (quay),  I'm half-tempted to call that our Christmas reference, being at the 'door' of winter.  Makes you wonder if the Christmas special is going to have presents for us nitpickers.  ...Oh, and just for extra credit, there was a really big eye looking around on a billboard screen in modern NY when they ran back to the TARDIS to follow Rory (kinda looked like Amy's), and of course an old-fashioned hotel where aliens feed on you, and everyone has their own room.  Classic stuff.
