Full Spoilers-The Impossible Astronaut and Day of the Moon

This is from a post on Gallifreybase from Ape Goes Insane who did not go to the screening but had a friend who went and told us basically everything that happens so here it goes :
The episode opens with the Doctor in France getting caught posing nude for a female painter, then it cuts to Rory reading out what goes down out of a history book to Amy in what appears to be their new (and very modern looking) home while Rory has Laurel and Hardy on. When they aren't looking the doctor wearing a fez comes up to the screen and waves. Anyways the mail comes and they recieve a TARDIS blue envelope that has the number 3 on the back, the envelope just has the date and coordinate for Utah, USA. It cuts to the Stormcage where River gets her mail and recieves the same envelope but with a 2 on the back and she escapes. So Rory and Amy arrive in Utah and meet up with The Doctor who sent the envelopes, cue Stetson line and River arrives, they stop at a diner and compare diaries. This Doctor and River seem pretty in sync, so they have a picnic, he mentions they have a mission in 1969 regarding the moon.

Amy askes how old he is and says he is now 1103, Amy states last time they saw him two months prior he was only 908 (I think thats how old she said). So this Doctor is the Future Doctor - 200 years in the future. Amy looks a cliff and sees a Silent and flips out but she looks down and forgets. Anyways he says the line about he needs to stop running, and when he looks at a cliff he sees an old man standing there, turns around and the Spaceman is in the water.

He approaches the Spaceman and says it's ok I know who you are and what you are going to do. As he opens the Spaceman's visor the camera pans so you don't see who it is. Amy, Rory and River wondering from a distance who it is. Then next thing you know BAM! The Spaceman fires a laser gun at him. BAM! Again fires more shots. He looks at his hands as they start to glow gold and I think he said I'm sorry its happening again. And right before he was about to burst in regenerative energy BAM! He gets shot one more time. They run to him all flipping out and River is furiously firing her gun at the Spaceman, Amy seeing The Silent again, The Doctor is dead. No life signs, no regeneration. Just dead.

The old man comes down. He has a TARDIS blue envelope as well. His is numbered 4. It's an aged Canton Everett Delaware The 3rd. And he brought a can of kerosene/gasoline to burn the Doctor's body. Rory decides to do it "with honour" as he spots a rowboat. They place the doctor's body inside and set it on fire and push it out into the water. When they head back to the diner, Amy notices another TARDIS blue envelope with the number 1, they ask the diner who it is and he just says some guy but he is in the bathroom, River surmises who it is and askes who does the Doctor trust the most. The door opens and out pops The Doctor. Looking goofy as ever saying he just went to get his favorite straw because it makes drinks more fizzy. River calls him cruel, Amy and Rory are in shock. River tells Amy to ask how old he is and he says he is 908, so essentially this is the Past Doctor/Current Doctor. Also Canton Everett Delaware is basically a full companion for the entire 2 parter, multiple TARDIS trips and everything.

Aat the end of episode 1 you find out who Amy shoots. It's the girl calling Nixon, she is trapped in the spacesuit which can move on its on. She is a human prisoner (at least I think she is) of the Silents. Amy and Canton go to investigate the home she is from, Amy find her room and see her pictures but she gets captured by the Silents One of which is Amy holding a baby (I know right). Rory and River have to save the Doctor from NASA because he got arrested. She disappears for the rest of the episode until the final scene in 1960s NYC.

The Doctor goes to the Silences base which River and Rory found in episode 1 (its the Lodger TARDIS or at least a duplicate) and The Doctor pretty much lays down the law. Saying he hates guns but River not so much. She would easily kill 8 of them without hesitation. Stuff happens River starts killing Silents, Rory tries to save Amy, the Doctor sonics her free and then joins River in the onslaught amd uses the Sonic Screwdriver as a weapon shooting energy blasts. They return Canton to the White House and then are on their way and you cut to the final scene....

You see a hobo going through the trash and she comes stumbling through. He asks " are you alright little girl?" and she says "No ::cough cough:: I'm dying..." The homeless man sounds startled and confused "... but it's ok" she says "because it's starting" her hands and body starts to glow bright orange and energy starts to float off of her, the hobo gets scared and runs away and WOOOOOOOOSH! This unknown 6-8 year old girl starts regenerating. And then it cuts to the credits.

In summary: Future Doctor - dead, and unknown girl starts to regenerate at the end.
Also,Amy asks the doctor whether time travelling affects pregnancy.
