A thought on the conflict between the season-long Ponds out-growing adventure and this: it’s (another) rug pull isn’t it? The audience knows they’re off, and is being shown them wanting to settle down; this achieves that while still giving those at home a jolt. In-universe, they sort of have already left and settled down, but maybe this is the only way the Doctor can be forced to leave them alone?
Rewatching these Angels episodes has made me realise that I was so unfair to them at the time. I’ve enjoyed all of them so much more now I don’t expect them to be as good as Blink.
YES I KNOW I GOT THE NAME OF THE EPISODE WRONG IN THE EMAIL VERSION THANK YOU

The Skinny Guy could be a ref to The Thin Man, Dashiell Hammett's final novel.

"The title is clearly a deliberate correction for the fact it should have been The Daleks Take Manhattan, too."
in more ways than one
