** If the Silence have been manipulating humanity for millennia, wouldn't there be a noticeable change in human society around 1969 from the fact that this manipulation was suddenly removed? Think about the social upheavals of the late Sixties: ''there was.''

** [[[spoiler: Amy is revealed in "The Almost People" to have been replaced with a Ganger duplicate during the three month period. Remember how the Silence removed the nano-recorder that was fused to the cartiledge in her hand? They didn't remove it. They turned off the duplicate and transferred into another Ganger in their hidden base. The recorder wasn't part of the duplicate, thus it was left behind when it disintergrated.]]

* {{MIB}}: The episode opens with our heroes being hunted down by government agents in black suits and dark glasses and taken to {{Area 51}} to keep the aliens secret. The aliens themselves have many MIB-ish qualities, and can probably be assumed to be the in-universe inspiration for the trope.

Added DiffLines:

** The Doctor is much more affectionate towards Rory than usual when he sees the Ponds again, hugging him and kissing him on the head. It's safe to say he knew that being in a body-bag for a long time would be distressing to the guy who's died.
