I was about to say that they did the important-name recycling with Jenny quite close to an important name reveal and it didn't turn out to mean anything, and then I realized that I was being dumb, and it was probably an oblique clue that was "wrong" on a literal level but quite correct thematically, which is what you are describing.
It was indeed quite magical. I was very worried about "Asylum of the Daleks," because of all the to-do about the potentially fake divorce, and I was afraid it was going to be stupid or just Moffat taunting us or worse, that they would actually break my OTP, and then EVERYTHING WAS AMAZING, if slightly rushed. But honestly, I would probably have had a heart attack and died before I got to see the end of the episode if they had crammed anything else in there.
Except now I am filled with sadness over Amy and Rory leaving. What can you do?
Um, let me be extremely vague and if you've heard the spec, you'll know what I'm talking about. If you haven't been reading any spoilers and don't even want to dance around it, now would be a good time to look away. Here are several blank lines, below which are POTENTIAL SPOILERS:
There is a popular theory circulating connecting the dots among the common elements among "The Angels Take Manhattan" and several prior episodes, some as far back as Moffat's time on RTD-era Who, and tying up some dangling plot threads from all of them at once. Do you know what I'm talking about?
