The Doctor and Amy travel to a future time where all of the residents actually live in a orbiting spacecraft, Starship UK. The Doctor soon realizes that while the spaceship is moving through space, it isn't powered in the conventional sense. Amy meanwhile is given the opportunity to learn the truth but chooses to have her memory erased. The Doctor is faced with unacceptable options and it's Amy who makes the final decision on what to do.

The Doctor lands on Starship UK, and discovered a moral dilemma. What can the Doctor Do to save everyone without doing something terrible?
This choice here in this episode is much like choices he's made before, at Pompeii and the Time War, and the fact that Amy finds another way, spoils nothing. Because that's one of the most vital rolls of a companion. Stopping the Doctor when it was necessary.
This a fantastic look into what kind of secrets that a society would want to keep buried, just for the sake of functioning, and a great first journey in the TARDIS.
The weakness isn't the episode's fault. Prior to it, was 11th Hour, before that... the heart felt End of Time. It's hard to follow that. But consider this episode on it's own, it's worth your time.
