Trivia
The Doctor's gesture indicating Rory's long nose wasn't in the script. This two-parter was actually the first episodes filmed, before Arthur Darvill had acted on the show, but after he'd been cast. Matt Smith and Darvill were already old friends, so Smith already knew about Darvill's honker and improvised.

Goofs
In 'Blink' it is established that if the Angels look at each other, they remain frozen. This is why they always cover their eyes. However, here, they can move (even in their stone form) while other Angels are looking at them.

Quotes
Octavian: [about The Doctor] You trust this man?
River Song: I absolutely trust him.
Octavian: He's not some kind of madman, then?
River Song: [pause] I absolutely trust him.

Stone is the greatest enemy?

Ok. That is better then previous episode, now I feel some thrills, and Angel´s influence on Amy is interesting. But all those hints from Angel´s towards the Doctor.... a cheap way to advance the plot. Still both episodes are good, just Blink, even special video to that episode were done so much better.
