This post will be updated periodically and replaces all previous Series 7 spoilers posts.

Series 7, Episode 5 Spoilers

So episode 5 will be taking place in New York, and will feature the Weeping Angels. This we know for sure (I think). It appears that Rory will get sucked into the past by the angels. They filmed a scene with the Doctor and Amy reading a letter and looking very emotionally distraught. It appears Rory ends up living out his life without the Doctor and Amy, and sending them a letter. There is also a funeral scene, this might be Rory's, it might not. He could end up dying just after they receive the letter. Also, Rory and one other character were filmed looking at the Statue of Liberty as if there was something not quite right about it. It probably moved for just a moment, when no one was looking at it.
