Amy seems to be one of the few companions who isn't expecting the Doctor to change who she is. Rose, Martha and Donna all wanted to travel with the Doctor as an escape from their lives. Rose was bored, Martha was frustrated with family problems and Donna hated the drudgery of everyday work. Amy already lived a pretty crazy life with a quirky boyfriend/fiancee. She couldn't really explain her life to the people she knows anyway (I'm a, um, nurse, or cop, yeah, that's it), so traveling with the Doctor isn't as world-shattering for her as it has been for some of the other companions in the new series. It doesn't feel like she's changing, so much as becoming who she actually is. I don't think she'll burn out like Martha did

If memory serves, the Carrionites were imprisoned and attempting to escape, not so much survive (simular to the Racnoss). If anything the 'vampires' were like the Phyrovillians (ok totally misspelled that) in Fires of Pompeii, who were trying to colonize Earth since their own planet was lost.
I had a feeling they weren't real vampires, but it was neat to see what kind of creature they truly was. Big fish was definitely not what I was expecting.
Overall I enjoyed the episode a ton simply because it was fun, great character interactions, and who wouldn't love the Doctor popping out of a cake!
