'''Dorium Maldovar:''' "Silence '''must''' fall" would be a better translation. The Silence are determined that the question will never be answered. That the Doctor will never reach Trenzalore. }}

 

 

The series 6 finale. '''"[[Running Gag|Spoilers!"]]'''

 

----

* [[Always Save the Girl|Always Save The Doctor]]: {{spoiler|River rather takes this trope to extremes, seeing as how she is willing to sacrifice ''time itself'' to save her love.}}

* [[Amnesiac Lover]]: A two way example, with both {{spoiler|Rory and Amy}} having forgotten their past relationship. They get back together in the end, with very little prompting.

* [[Chekhov's Gun]]: The Doctor's bow tie is finally ''useful''.

* [[Chekhov's Gunman]]: {{spoiler|The Teselecta.}}

* [[Colonel Badass]]: Rory has become one of Amy's top operatives, with a whole platoon of soldiers under his command.

* [[Cool Train]]: In the alternate timeline, trains of [http://www.trains-worldexpresses.com/100/102x1_01m.jpg this style] move all around London. Amy's train is a [[Base on Wheels]] that can go to Egypt very fast.

* [[Heroic Willpower]]: {{spoiler|Rory ignores his own eyepatch electrocuting him so he can buy time for Amy to escape. It fails him just as the Silence actually bust through the door, so Amy ends up saving him.}}

* [[Hope Spot]]: Played straight and immediately subverted. The Doctor and Winston Churchill are saved from {{spoiler|the Silence}} by the timely arrival of soldiers led by {{spoiler|Amy Pond!}} Who is, unfortunately, sporting the Silence's villainous [[Eyepatch of Power]] — and immediately shoots the Doctor. {{spoiler|Turns out it was just a stun gun so they could avoid a lot of talking.}}

* [[Human Notepad]]: The Doctor, while he and Winston are under attack from the Silence.

** Doubles as an [[Oh Crap]] moment, since this is the first indication we get of their presence.

* [[Timey-Wimey Ball]]: Time has collapsed into the exact time of the Doctor's apparent death, and every time River and the Doctor touch the events of his death start repeating itself. Except all the messages responding to River's distress beacon inside the collapsed timeline are coming from outside of it, where time is apparently still working normally. [[Mind Screw|Good luck figuring the mechanics of that out…]]

* [[Title Drop]]: {{spoiler|The last words of the season, which also turns out to be none other than the Question}}.

** Rory may not be wearing his Centurion armor, but he has officially become a [[Colonel Badass]].

* [[Trailers Always Lie]]: The trailer for this episode heavily implied that {{spoiler|River and Kovarian are the same person.}}
