In "The Hungry Earth" when the kid, Elliot, got hurt, the mom called for a doctor and The Doctor came running. During that scene she said "You are a proper doctor, right? You haven't just got a degree in cheese making or something?" to which The Doctor replied "Yes.... well... both, actually."

Yeah... they confirm it don’t they?

Who else, after the Name/Day specials, thinks we know exactly what/who was in the Doctor’s room?

I hope you will be reacting to the mini episodes between these two episodes ("Night and the Doctor" ) :)

It's an ok episode but it tells interesting thing. I don't think Rory doesn't have fear but rather he doesn't have a strong faithin something. He has no illusion on the doctor and just tag along with his with wife. I also like that it frames the vision Amy has on the doctor as some blind faith that is born from the story of her childhood. Really a lot of interesting ideas.

Not an episode I love, but it does add to my love of Rory. Best character arc of all his companions, imo.

Another callback to that (smaller one) was in Flesh and Stone.
- Dr. Song, I've lost good clerics today, do you trust this man?
- I absolutely trust him!
- He's not some kind of madman, then?
- (brief pause) I absolutely trust him!
And another one in The Doctor's Wife:
- I'm a madman with a box, without a box!

Rory did have fears but he had no faith so it didn't need him.

This episode is a callback to something the Doctor told Amy back in The Eleventh Hour: "Amy Pond, there's something you'd better understand about me, because it's important, and one day your life may depend on it. I am definitely a madman with a box."

Tbh, I forgot it was this episode, I thought it was the next one. But I’m not disappointed!
