Here's what I've been thinking about for a week or two now... we know that in this episode something will happen to cause the Ponds to leave. And we know that River will be there. My speculation is that Rory is going to die, and that River will be witness to it; and also that the River we'll see will come from early in her incarceration (sometime between The Wedding and A Good Man). This is because when River first sees Rory in A Good Man, she gets very sad all of a sudden. She tries to play it off as something else, but I think that sadness comes from seeing him again after having recently seen him die. Suddenly she sees him standing in front of her, young and eager as he was, and thinks of what she recently saw happen. So I think that Rory will die, and then Amy won't be able to keep travelling with the Doctor anymore because she'll feel so let down by him (that he let Rory die, and doesn't use the TARDIS to go back in time and prevent that), so she'll have to leave him. Anyway, just my thoughts... we'll see in a few days I guess! --Maelwys 19:52, September 27, 2012 (UTC)

Rory dying? Well, that would be original. My guess would be that the Angels will time displace either Amy and Rory. Then either Rory will have to wait for Amy again, or this time Amy will have to take a turn waiting for Rory. However, they are not immortal this time, and as we saw in Blink, they will die before or shortly after the time they were initially pulled out of.Icecreamdif 00:44, September 28, 2012 (UTC)
At this point, after Rory has died/nearly died/apparently died a dozen times, the Doctor and Amy half a dozen each and River two or three, it's got to be something more than "X dies" to really have a tragic impact. Something like Icecreamdif's idea seems more like what Moffat's probably got in mind: It's much more tragic if Rory (or Amy) doesn't just die, he lives through the rest of his life time-shifted decades away from Amy, with the constant hope that he'll catch up to her, kind of like Fry's dog in Futurama… --70.36.140.233talk to me 04:23, September 28, 2012 (UTC)
