I thought the kissing was French too (ummmm, not in that sense) but they actually make contact with cheeks, and I think they do it three times. Maybe it comes in later in our time and he wasn't sure, or got confused between French custom and American society lady.

As for the soccer, he must have seen lots of it on TV when we was on Earth in the past, so maybe he subconsciously knew all the moves from that. I liked the touch of having it in the middle of the World Cup.

I'm assuming the next ep will be Doctor-lite, though I don't know how they'll manage that with it being the first part of the finale. I think.
