Just now got around to watching it. I'll probably have more to say after I've seen it again, but right now the primary thing I can think of is, "whuh?"
I do think it would have "sold" the American angle a bit more if after the Doctor said to get him some Jammie Dodgers, the Americans had asked, "What are those?" (We don't have them, y'see.) But the accents weren't too bad, except for the lady in the restroom, who was pretty awful.
Oh, and the Americans calling it a restroom was a nice touch. Because to us "toilet" means just the thing you poo/pee in, not the entire room. So, good for Moffat on that. (It was Moffat, right?)
I too loved the scene between River and Rory. And Amy didn't grate on me *too* much. Wonder if she really is pregnant, and if so, why was it so important to tell the Doctor just then? (Unless the child in the spacesuit is hers, from the future? That was the first thing I thought of.)

Oh well, intriguing start to the season.
