So I enjoyed the jist of the episode, and I don't know why people find the Angels so frightening, I don't think I've ever found them that scary. They can be beaten by a sledgehammer.

In response to the common complaint of 'just take a sledge hammer to them', in 'Flesh and Stone', the Church soldiers were firing at them with automatic weapons at point blank range and didn't kill a single one of them.
That would indicate either Stormtrooper accuracy of the highest order, or the Angels are bulletproof.

As 10 said in Blink:

They are quantum locked. They don't exist when they're being observed. The moment they are seen by any other living creature they freeze into rock. No choice, it's a fact of their biology. In the sight of any living thing they literally turn to stone, and you cant kill a stone.[/

This would indicate they become a fixed point in space, thus you can't kill them easily because they're both not there and their 'body' is a permanent fixture in space/time, which your mind interprets as a stone statue.

(Though anyone notice Amy's 5 years older than Rory? I guess she got sent back a bit further)

I think you meant 'later' (ie he's sent back to 1960, while she's sent back to 1965), but more likely Amy just outlived Rory, spending the last 5 years of her life alone, thus becoming the Girl Who Waited again.
