re: the Doctors quip about Amy. Two things: One: this is a Doctor who has lived 200 years on his own (presumably) KNOWING that he is going to be killed in Utah in 2011. He gets a bit of an ok on being cranky. Two: simple forshadow of her being pregnant.
re: River Seeing as we don't yet know why River is in jail (which we are supposed to find out) I think it is too soon to judge about "her not surviving. Plus, their life is opposite. She keeps seeing him know less and less as she progresses (with some wibbly wobbly in the middle) Her actual first meeting of the doctor could be hugely detrimental.

Doing the Time Traveler's Wife thing from either direction would be gutwrenching through the second half of dwindling familiarity. I found both that line and the encounter at the end of the 2nd half pretty affecting
