LOL I agree with basically all of this. I also thought that it was silly to have Rory be all "Amy-mon, I CHOOSE YOU because I know you'll never give up!" and then she... gives up... and starts crying and he magically comes back 30 seconds after thanks to the power of her phoenix tears. I think that scene would've made a lot more sense with the previous scene if it had been more like, Amy tries for a while, nothing happens, ~everything looks bleak~ so the Doctor tries to be like "Amy, you have to stop, it's too late" or w/e and Amy, you know, actually doesn't give up and it is her persistence that saves him.
I actually liked this episode, more than apparently most people, possibly because it was a relief to have an episode that was linear and easy to follow and where the plotholes were things like "LOLWUT ship within a ship with a mermaid nurse?" and not stuff like "I literally have no idea what just happened".
