Who: Day Of The Moon Preview

There's likely more than a few viewers who will need to watch the first episode of Series Six again before Day Of The Moon hits this Saturday (I have already done so and will probably do so several more times this week), but let me be your guide to what to expect in this week's action-packed story...
SILENCE WILL FALL- What does that ominous message mean? We got mere glimpses of the Silents last week, however we're promised a major battle for the Doctor and his group of companions this time around, so maybe we'll find out!
THE DOCTOR'S DEATH- This took everyone by surprise in The Impossible Astronaut, yet by the episode's climax we were no closer to solving how the TARDIS crew could prevent it or bring the Time Lord back. Whatever happens this week, expect tension to rise if the team has to keep their secret for longer.
THE ASTRONAUT- Far from terrorising her or posing as her to lure the Doctor in, the titular astronaut of Episode 1 was revealed to be the scared little girl- but who is she? Fans have speculated she is Amy's child or even River Song, but I get the feeling it's more specifically related to this story than the entire season.
APOLLO 11- 1969 is obviously when Apollo 11 set off on its momentus voyage into space, but how can it with the Silence threatening to consume Earth? Bearing in mind that the mission took place in July, perhaps a month or two will have passed (that would certainly explain the image of the Doc's bearded imprisonment in Area 51) in between episodes. The trailer made it seem like the Silence capture Amy too- bad move!
THE TARDIS- Or rather, the spaceship from The Lodger whose interior resembles it. Why is it here? Will the Silence escape in it to fight another day? Wait and see...
CLIFFHANGERS- We've got last week's big open ending to resolve first- what happened to Rory that River witnessed? Obviously the astronaut survives being shot, but how, and what will her reaction and the consequences be? However, that's not all- we're promised an epic final scene that will contain another cliffhanger, not likely to be resolved until later this season but exciting all the same!
