I thought I had commented on this, but apparently I commented to you verbally, not with like, an actual comment.
Elliot in this one; and he didn't even get to do anything!
I was sad about this. He was tiny and dyslexic and he loved Sherlock Holmes and he made a connection with the Doctor. (And exposed the Doctor's horrifying lack of skill at babysitting). And then in the second episode he was frozen and he smiled when the Doctor apologized for allowing him to be kidnapped by aliens. FAIL.
Even if it was nothing more than foreshadowing, since it was the Doctor's dream it's got the ring of his worst nightmares coming true. It's a nice way of pointing out how he's essentially adopted Rory as his BFF4EVA too
Yes. It ties into his 'O NOES I HAS LOST ANOTHER COMPANION' drama. And I'm glad Rory's death is not all-about-Amy.
Chekhov's engagement ring
It shoots you in the third act!
That's why time-travelers can be immune, because it's a perception issue and not a time-line change.

Very wise.
