Matt Smith and Karen Gillan in Doctor Who (2005)

It is five years after Amy and Rory have married and reside in the quaint, sleepy little village of Leadworth. Amy is now heavily pregnant with their first child and all seems to be going well for the couple. But the peace is soon shattered as grinding sounds of the TARDIS signal the return of the Doctor who has decided to pay them a visit. But as is always the case, trouble soon follows when the Time Lord makes an appearance. The trio collapse and awaken to find themselves once more within the confines of the TARDIS with the lights out and the system disabled and they are drifting perilously close to a "cold" star. The plot thickens when a mysterious, mischievous stranger who appoints him self the moniker of the Dream Lord makes his presence known. Have the trio awoken in reality or have they slipped in to a dream like state in Leadworth? Only the Dream Lord knows the truth and he's giving very little away as that would make things all too easy. —Robert McElwaine

Trivia
The old age home in the episode has a big sign reading "Sarn", which is also the name of a planet visited by the Fifth Doctor in "Planet of Fire".

Goofs
As Rory begins to drag the sleeping Amy up the stairs of their cottage, the picture on one wall is wonky, as if it had been knocked. In the next shot, from behind Rory, the picture is straight.

Too much Rory

I prefer the format where just the doctor and his companion go through their adventures. It's cool with people coming from the companions life, but then leaving. I for one don't like that Amy's boyfriend is always there. I thought Rose's (I really miss Rose) and Mickey's relationship was done better.
