Oh dear, I am with you on so many points here. (Especially the sky trains, wow did I love those. And that the Tesselecta was a bit of a cop-out after all the far more clever fan speculation. And that River being put up on a pedestal is a bit distasteful, especially after RTD was accused of doing the same with Rose.) Your selection of quotes is particularly wonderful.
And watching this finale I'd presumed the TARDIS exploding was a previous attempt by the Silence to kill the Doctor. I figured the assassination attempts would increase in frequency up to the day Dorium kept talking about, and the TARDIS was just the first one (or the first one that got close, anyway).
