N-S6E11: The God Complex

The premise of this episode was fun and clever.  A hotel with a room for everyone, though you really don’t want to find it.  Rooms pull of so many things for so many people.

Sad clown with a balloon (looks like it was played by Matt, but I’ve heard it’s not).

Lucy Hayward, 214, that brutal gorilla, drops papers

Commander Halke, defeat

Tim Heathe, having photo taken

Lady Silvertear, Daleks

Paige Barnes, other peoples’ socks

Tim Nelson, balloons

Noddist Prince, saberwolves

Royston Luke Gold, Plymouth

158, gym teacher

Joe Buchanan, ventriloquist dummies, cufflinks

Howie Spragg, pretty girls, glasses

Rita, disappointing family/failing

Gibbis, 216, weeping angels

Amy, 7, that the Doctor won’t return

Doctor, 11, ??? [do not disturb sign]

I noticed that when people were taken by the minotaur, they often left things behind, which are noted on the list above: Lucy’s papers, Joe’s cufflinks, Howie’s glasses – why?  What was the point in them leaving things in the hallways after they were taken?  Were they a form of the person’s faith being left behind?  It would explain the cufflinks.  Maybe Lucy wrote to address her faith?  As for Howie’s glasses… no idea.  He needed them because of all the reading he did on the conspiracy theories?

Quotes!

Doctor: “She’s threatening me with a chair leg.  I’ve never been threatened with a chair leg before – No, hang on, I tell a lie.”  Points if someone can find which episode he was threatened with a chair leg in; if there actually is one, that would be rather amusing.

Things Gibbis says because Gibbis has the most entertaining mindset in the episode:

“We’re lining all the highways with trees so the invading armies can march in the shade.”

“Resistance is exhausting.”

“All I want to do is go home and be conquered and oppressed, is that too much to ask?”

Doctor: “It’s as I thought, it feeds on fear.  Everything—the rooms, Lucy’s note, even the pictures in reception—has been put here to frighten us.  So we have to resist it.  Do whatever you have to.  Cross your fingers, say a prayer, think of a basket of kittens.  But do not give in to the fear.”

This whole episode is an allusion to the Doctor himself and several exchanges refer to it:

Doctor, talking to the minotaur: “You have lived so long even your name is lost.”

Rita: “Why is it up to you to save us?  That’s quite a god complex you have there.”

Doctor: “I brought them here.  They say it was their choice, but offer a child a suitcase full of sweets and they’ll take it.  Offer someone all of time and space and they’ll take that, too.  Which is why you shouldn’t.  Which is why grown-ups were invented.”

Rita: “All of time and space, ’eh?”

Doctor: “Oh yeah.  And when we get out of this, I’ll show you, too.”

Rita: “I don’t know what you’re talking about, but whatever it was, I have a feeling you just did it again.”

Doctor, translating the minotaur: “‘An ancient creature, drenched in the blood of the innocents.  Drifting in space through an endless shifting maze.  Such a creature, death would be a gift.’ Then accept it.  And sleep well.”  He pauses as he stands to walk away.  “‘I wasn’t talking about myself.’”

Several things came up during the episode:

Rory finds the fire escape, which was interpreted as him not having faith in anything.  One would think after all that’s happened that he would at least have faith in Amy, but that doesn’t seem to be the case – which I find rather satisfying after how often she’s treated him like crap.  Go Rory!

Also, Rory has the Sonic all the time in this series and suddenly now he’s got the mop.  Give him time and he’ll turn up with the Fez and then we’ll have Nurse Who instead of Doctor Who.

Another quote brings something else to light that seemed a bit odd:

Doctor: “Pond!  Bring the fish!”  There’s a bowl of goldfish that keeps appearing throughout the episode and after Amy’s instructed to bring the fish with them, Gibbis is seen during the phone call with Rita stealing and eating the fish – why are they so important?  Why did they have Rita’s death conincide with Gibbis eating the fish?  Why parallel those events?

Also, if the weeping angels were really Gibbis’s room, he should have been in line after Rita and before Amy.  He found his room before she did.  He was active; the Doctor did not cut the food supply as boasted at the end of the episode.

Many of the Doctors fears came to a head in this episode, from his room to having to break Amy’s faith.

Doctor, looking in room 11: “Of course.  Who else?”

The TARDIS’s cloister bell can be heard in the background.  What does the Doctor fear?  Losing the TARDIS; losing time and space; losing his place keeping order.  What does the Doctor have faith in?  The TARDIS.  She doesn’t always take him where he wants to go, but she does take him where he needs to go.  She’s the one constant in his life.

Doctor: “I stole your childhood and now I’ve led you by the hand to your death.  But the worst thing is I knew.  I knew this would happen.  This is what always happens.  Forget your faith in me.  I took you with me because I was vain.  Because I wanted to be adored.  Look at you, glorious Pond.  The girl who waited for me.  I’m not a hero.  I really am just a madman in a box.  And it’s time we see each other as we really are.  Amy Williams.  It’s time to stop waiting.”

Back on Earth, in England, we have SADFACE DOCTOR!

He comes to drop Amy and Rory off and then goes about his usual selling points.  Amy has to be the strong one and tell him no, that she wouldn’t accompany him again.

When the Doctor stands in the doorway of the TARDIS, it creaks.  Is this to accentuate how old they are?

As the TARDIS vanishes:

Rory: “What happened?  What’s he doing?”

Amy: “He’s saving us.”

And just like that, faith restored.

It was odd, watching the end of this episode.  I wasn't spoiled for what was coming.  It came as rather a shock Amy and Rory's time was up.  Being the new fan of Who I am, they were my first companions; this is the first time I've witnessed the end of a journey.  But it's really not the end for them.  There's still too many loose ends to wrap up before the end of the season.

N-S6E10: The Girl Who Waited

This was a great episode that could have been a lot better with a little thought.  Minor things, granted, enough to be bothersome buy not enough to detract from the enjoyableness of the installment.

Quotes!
Love the rip on today's generation at the beginning of the episode - hinted at earlier with the mention of the number one destination being the planet of coffee shops.

Amy: “Have you seen my phone?”

Doctor: “Your phone?  Your mobile telephone?   I bring you to a paradise planet two billion lightyears from earth and you want to update ...Twitter?”

Amy: “Sunsets, spires, soaring silver colonnades; it’s a camera phone.”

Doctor: “Glasses are cool, see?”

Are you genuinely promoting glasses or trying to appease the hipsters?

Rory: “Bit of earth, bit of alien, bit of whatever the hell that is…”

Looking through the gallery and commenting on odd alien art - something bubbly.

Amy: “And there he is, the voice of God.”

Are we foreshadowing The God Complex here?

This episode was more about Rory than Amy and it was wonderful being reminded what a sweetheart he is.

Rory: “I don’t care that you got old.  I care that we didn’t grow old together.”

Rory: “Two Amys together, can that work?”

Doctor: “I don’t know, it’s your marriage.”

Doctor: “What’s the nasty Amy done to you, dear?” to the TARDIS.

Doctor: “There can only be one Amy, which one do you want?  It’s your choice.”

Rory: “This isn’t fair.  You’re turning me into you.”

Way to place that moral dilemma on Rory, Doctor.  He obviously knew from the start and passed the blame off, which undoubtedly came up again later when young Amy woke up and asked where old Amy was.

I have to ask why they didn't just give the handbots eyes.  Obviously it needed its head to be filled with tranquilizer guns and no eyes to advance the plot.  Beyond that, it was totally a design flaw that they didn't have eyes.

When Rory left the green anchor room to find Amy in the red waterfall room, he should have wound up in a different time stream from both Amy AND the Doctor.  Again, it didn't happen so the plot could advance, but it would have been nice if they'd kept it consistent.

I loved that for once, FOR ONCE, Amy was focused on Rory.  She told him she loved him before they split to let the saving commence.  For once, she put her faith in Rory to save her instead of the Doctor (because the Doctor couldn't, due to Gen7, but that's beside the point [also, shouldn't Amy and Rory have had residual disease on them when they entered the TARDIS again?  Wouldn't that have affected the Doctor?].).  She (both of them) believe that Rory's the most beautiful man she's ever met, and not just in the physical way.  Also, as an aside, their first kiss had something to do with the Macarena, which is adorable.

When they finally make it back to the TARDIS, Rory kicks the doors open to make his entrance and I couldn't help thinking, "They open out the way!"

A new meme seems to be emerging: Rory dies all the time; Amy's fake all the time.

One of the things that bugged me about this episode was how quickly old Amy changed her gears at the end. She was so desperate to go with them, to keep living, but then when Rory's about to unlock the door and let her in, she tells him not to.  I guess they could explain it away that she traveled so much with the Doctor, she knew deep down that it couldn't happen, but it was still a break in character.

What bugged me the most about the episode was how bitchy Amy was about having to wait a whole 36 years, and that she bitched about it to Rory of all people.  Her waiting for them 36 years has absolutely nothing on Rory the Roman waiting 2000 years.  It was insult to injury and just plain insensitive.  Someone obviously forgot that fact about Rory when they wrote this episode.

Things to think about:

-Why does the Doctor keep giving Rory the screwdriver?  This has happened on multiple occasions and Tennant was so offended when River had the sonic in series 4.  Is there something special about Rory that he keeps getting his hands on it or what?  Are we going to be tuning into Nurse Who in the future?

-How did Amy make a sonic?  Where did she get the parts, how did she know how to assemble it, how did she get it to function?  How does one go about making a sonic from random parts?  Are they all getting Time Heads?

N-S6E9: Night Terrors

This episode is the reason I'm so far behind on posting.  The most meh episode I've seen.  It's got a few stand-out lines, but there's really nothing worth talking about.  Even the confidential had to half-fill itself with stuff completely unrelated to the episode to use its time.

Little things:
Mention of Jim.  Does he happen to be a fish?

For some reason "pantophobia" greatly amused me.

Quotes!

I absolutely loved that they made fun of themselves with Rory in this episode.  They recognized that they've killed him off far too often and let him be exasperated about it.

Rory: “Augh.  We’re dead, aren’t we?  We’re dead - again.”

Rory: “This is probably 1700-and-something.”

Amy: “Yay, my favorite year.”

Doctor: “No, not in the cupboard, why not in there, George?”

Because someone forgot to let Hitler out.  Seriously.  There's too many opportunities to remind people that Hitler's still in the cupboard.

Rory: “This is weird.”

Amy: “Says the time-travelling nurse.”

Doctor: “Stupid Doctor.”  -whacks self in the head-  “Ow.”

My favorite quote from the episode (and one of two things worth watching it for, in my opinion):

Doctor: “I’m not just a professional, I’m the Doctor.  It means I’ve come a long way to get here, Alex, a very long way.  George sent a message, a distress call if you’d like, and whatever’s inside that cupboard is so terrible, so powerful that it amplified the fears of an ordinary little boy across all the barriers of time and space.  Through crimson stars and silent stars and tumbling nebulas like oceans set on fire.  Through empires of glass and civilizations made of pure thought and a whole terrible, wonderful universe of impossibilities.  You see these eyes, they’re old eyes and one thing I can tell you, Alex: Monsters are real.”

Alex: “You’re not from social services, are you?”

Doctor: “He’s a Tenza, remember, he’ll be whatever you want him to be.”

Now there’s a power to abuse.  With how much influence parents have over children already and how they destroy an individual's sense of self with their expectations, that's really sending a message.  I guess George is going to be perfect, then.

And of course, the nursery rhyme.  Because it's not full of plot, nope, not at all.

“Tick tock goes the clock

And now what shall we play?

Tick tock goes the clock

Now summer's gone away.

Tick tock goes the clock

And what then shall we see?

Tick tock until the day

That thou shalt marry me.

Tick tock goes the clock

And all the years they fly.

Tick tock and all too soon,

You and I must die.

Tick tock goes the clock

We laughed at fate and mourned her

Tick tock goes the clock,

Even for the Doctor.

Tick tock goes the clock

He cradled her and he rocked her.

Tick tock goes the clock,

Even for the Doctor...”

Things to think about:

-What’s with the glass eye?  Is it Madame Kovarian's?  Did she hide it away so she could wear that blasted eye patch?

N-S6E8: Let's Kill Hitler

And we're back!  Welcome.  You will experience a tingling sensation and then death.

Little things...
The Doctor's got a new coat.  Why?  Probably because he feels like it.  The old one is on the rack by the door inside the TARDIS.

SONIC CANE.  I want one.

It would have been great if they'd planted Mels earlier.  Sure, the fanatics would have been all over it in an instant, but it would have given the whole exchange a bit more validity.  As it stands, it's just a bunch tacked on so they can bring River into the episode.  Convenient and not particularly convincing, especially when she's the once that pushes them to get together.  Though, "You named your daughter... after your daughter" was a great line.

We have another reappearance of the TARDIS hallways from The Doctor's Wife!  Those things sure get around.  Great on them for reusing sets, but really, they could put more effort into making it not so obvious what they were before.

Rory badassery continues by punching Hilter in the face!  And putting him in the closet.  And then punching that other guy in the face... and driving a motorbike:
Amy: "Can you ride a motorbike?"
Rory: "I expect so.  It's that sort of day."
He's come into himself and accepted it ever so well.

Alex Kingston was having entirely too much fun during her regeneration.  Entirely too much fun.  And it was both great and tiring to watch.  I do love that we got another dose of the Squirmy Doctor, though, when she was showing off her teeth.  He manages to wrap a leg around her when she comes over.  Having the Doctor say that only River is allowed to call him sweetie was, for lack of a better word, sweet, as was the Doctor giving her the diary she's kept as long as we've known her.

What wasn't so sweet about River in this episode was how quickly they portrayed her attitude toward the Doctor as changing.  Obviously, she's still out to get him [I actually think it's the little girl River that kills him, because that's still in the Doctor's future], but the amount of change, from wanting to kill him to saving his life was way too much.  Unless the TARDIS said something when she flew it (she seemed to change the most between seeing the Doctor on the steps and flying the TARDIS), I don't see any reason she should have changed that much.  Too much character "development" too quickly.

Quotes!
Doctor: "Permission?" to hug Amy.
Rory: "Granted."

Young Rory: "I thought we were playing hide-and-seek.  I've been hiding for hours!"
Young Amy: "Well, we just haven't found you yet."
Young Rory: "Okay..."

Doctor: "You stay alive and I'll marry you.  Deal?"
I'm sure this is going to come up again sometime in the future.

Doctor: "Don't run.  Now, I know you're scared, but don't run.  Never run when you're scared."
We'll see how well they hold to that in the next episode.

Things to think about:
-It was said that what the Doctor was poisoned with was from the Judas tree.  Perhaps this is from the Gamma Forests we heard about in AGMGTW?  I hope we learn more about it, seeing as it's able to kill a Time Lord so quickly AND it prevents regeneration.

-They said River was a war criminal.  What war?

-The Silence is a religious movement, an academy of the question.  Obvious question is what the question is.  I'm pretty sure the answer is 42, but that's what they're waiting to hear, so likely not, but whatever.

-What is this justice department?  Who runs it?  I get the feeling it's someone we already know.  The Doctor said he didn't see it coming, but he didn't seem too surprised.  Like he's come across it before.

-Somewhat in the same vein, and I'm pretty sure it was just me, but did the antibodies look suspiciously like Dalek bodies?  The ones inside the trashcans, of course.

-So the Doctor downloaded information (chiefly that on his own death) from the justice robot...  what else did he steal?

I also hear there's a Christmas special in the works.  Lots of things to look forward to.

N-S6E7: A Good Man Goes to War

If you haven't found it yet, watch it here.
I'm not sure if the Grand Moff still has it or not.
As such, I'm going to get my complaining out of the way.

We open with yet another time gap.  As far as plot devices go, this was probably the most well executed for the current series.  However, having the mid-series finale jump time in the future really gives it a feeling of floating off in space, disconnected from everything else that's gone on.  Most of this series has felt disjointed in that manner, though.  Because of the jump and then the jumping around from location to location and person to person, the episode feels very choppy and is just a tad difficult to follow.

And then the beating begins.  No, not the war spoken of in the episode title.  I mean the beating of the audience, over the head, regarding the big reveal promised in this episode.  Let's start with the baby's name: Melody Pond.  Hmmm... that doesn't sound similar to any other names so far in the show, nope, not at all.  Then they toss the fact that it's River's birthday at us.  Really?  REALLY?  This was actually the breaking point for me.  I've been trying to deny the end result (and sticking by my TARDIS theory), but that just killed it for me.  Couldn't deny it any longer.

Slightly less obvious beatings include that River couldn't be there for the battle (she'd be crossing her own time stream, of course, but couldn't tell Rory that) and that Melody didn't like the TARDIS noise.  That could be taken a couple different ways; most obvious that the noise was the breaks and River had previously mentioned that the Doctor leaves the parking break on... less obvious that the TARDIS is her main rival for the Doctor's love.

Getting away from that, there's all the play at the Doctor being Melody's father.  Starting with Amy at the beginning of the episode, describing a father who'll never let her down, who an army can't stop, who's the last of his kind, who looks young but is hundreds of years old, who has a name but is better known to the universe as... the last Centurion.  The Silurian asking how the baby started, the Time Lord DNA having made its way into Melody's genes...  That was the fish the audience was slapped with after being beaten over the head.

Little things seemed out of touch, too.  Like Jenny.  Who is she?  It was implied that she was a regeneration of the Doctor's daughter from Tennant's time, but she didn't know what the TARDIS was and wasn't acknowledged by the Doctor.  Last he saw her, she was most definitely dead according to him.  I'm hoping she's someone else and that we weren't stuck with the end result of deleted scenes.

I think I'm done complaining.  No promises.

Quotes!
I loved the Headless Monks.  They're cool.  They should show up more often in the future.
They believe the "domain of faith is the heart and the domain of doubt is the head," according to Lorna.

River and her relationship with Stormcage has always amused me, especially when she picked up the phone and told the guards, "Oh, turn it off.  I'm breaking in, not out."  That whole scene was brilliant, including the exchange between her and Rory before the mood shifted:
Rory: "Unless there are two of them."
River: "No, that's a whole different birthday."
...all I've got to say to that is oh my.  And fanservice.  Copious amounts of fanservice.  A grand number of fangirls across the globe just had heart attacks and died of dreams come true.

Not quite sure what to make of it yet, but during the confusion with the Headless Monks, the Doctor's voice can be heard: "I'm not a phantom, I'm not a trickster.  I'm a monk."  Another good one, though mostly with how it was delivered, was, "Oh look, I'm angry.  That's new."

The Sontaran nurse Strax was amazing.  He had absolutely fantastic lines, including, "Don't slump, it's bad for your spine" and "I have gene-spliced myself for all nursing duties.  I can produce magnificent quantities of lactic fluid!"  Loved it, 100%.

Finally, we can never have an episode without some mention of something being cool.  Best one was definitely when Amy said, "Crying Roman with a baby.  Definitely cool."  The Doctor's affecting their speech habits.

Oh, and I suppose the voice-over bit River did toward the end of the battle was good:
"Demons run when a good man goes to war.  Night will fall and drown the sun when a good man goes to war.  Friendship dies and true love lies.  Night will fall and the dark will rise when a good man goes to war.  Demons run but count the cost; the battle's won but the child's lost."

Other things of note!
Badass Rory continues!  Moving up from "the big guns," he now has sword and gun for massive damage.

Sith Lord Monks!  Those swords they had looked an awful lot like lightsabers, though I'd have to admit these ones are a bit more intimidating and less whooshy.

"We are not fools!"  What a pathetic rally cry.  I mean, I suppose they're a religious army, so a certain amount of misplaced ego is acceptable, but still.  Really sad rally cry.  Maybe it was all part of the plan to lull the Doctor into a false sense of security?

There were a lot of debts called in, as noted, and we saw a lot of different faces, spanning the Cybermen (who should have had a larger role, in my opinion, but maybe that means we'll see them again in the second half of the season), the Sontarans, the Silurians (haven't heard anything about them since series 5, but seems they're doing well), the Judoon and even the newly created space pirates!  Nothing says [mid]series finale like multiple races coming together.  Missed the Daleks, though.

Things to think about:
-Who is Lorna Bucket?  She's from the Gamma Forests and has run with the Doctor, that much is obvious, but she's also apparently from his future, since he doesn't know who she is.  Maybe that's the big twist coming up - everything the Doctor does from now on will be in reverse to his time stream?  Naaah.  Not even the Moff would go that far... would he?

-Who is Madame Kovarian and why does she want Melody/River?  There was a comment during the episode that implied she was from the Gamma Forests as well, so that'll likely be explained in the near future.

-This is probably from further back in the series, something I haven't seen yet, but what debt did Dorium owe the Doctor and why was he so terrified of paying it back?  Something of a moot point, seeing as he became headless, but still something I'd like to know.

-When Rory entered the room Amy was in, he Soniced the door open (you can hear it).  But when he came in, he didn't have the Sonic and it wasn't shown that he gave it back to the Doctor.  In fact, the Doctor had the Sonic recently (when he was in the monk's robes during the morale rally), so I'm not sure when he gave it to Rory.  That aside, since when does the Doctor trust him enough to give him the Sonic?  He was rawr enough when River had it in Silence in the Library.

-And of course, the big reveal, which I've skirted around.  River Song = Melody Pond.  I loved that we got some of the squirmy Doctor in that reveal (mostly looks to the potential parents-in-law); that much made me happy.  But my question: why are the names reversed?  Why is she River Song instead of Song River as the in-order translation demands?  Is the Gamma Forest like the Japanese in that the last name comes first?  Slightly off that train, do we have to call her Melody now or can we keep calling her River (I much prefer the latter).

Until September!

AGMGTW Prequels

Here we are, a day before the mid-series finale.  There's three "prequel" type clips and a trailer for A Good Man Goes to War, not really telling much but still saying so very much.

First up, the trailer:

Confirmed: We'll know who River is.
Plus, Cybermen!  Rory the Roman!  Mysterious hooded men!  Oh, my~
Doctor: "The child is not a weapon!"
Mme K: "She will be."
Not sure what to make of this, but there's a lot of talk that River is Amy's daughter.  I don't buy it, but this line in particular (assuming they're actually together in the episode) makes me question it.  River is definitely a weapon.

Next, the first prequel:

Dorium meets with the hooded men, who are looking for security.  This baby is intended to be heavily guarded, if nothing else.  Definitely makes it sound like this is leading up to the girl in the space suit from TIA and DotM.  Sentient money is a nice touch; I'd like to see what it looks like.  Dorium does imply that they've taken the Doctor's child... don't know if that's a herring or what.

And the second prequel:

Dorium meets with Mme K, where he warns her and her adviser that the Doctor hasn't done nothing for a month but has likely been calling on debts from across the universe.  Their base is on an asteroid, Demon's Run, which very likely implies this is where Amy is being held captive.  Dorium reminds them of a very old saying, "Demons Run when a good man goes to war."

Finally, a little bit of recruiting gone awry:

Rory shows up at Stormcage as a Roman; River is quite dolled up and is holding her journal.  She may have just been with the Doctor, as she's not in her cell.  When Rory tells her his and Amy's baby has been taken, her face falls and she says she cannot be there until the very end - after the Doctor has fallen to his lowest low after his highest high.  "This is the day he finds out who I am."

Augh, be Saturday already!

N-S6E6: The Almost People

The majority of this episode is meh, to put it bluntly.  Humans and Gangers make peace, some humans die, some Gangers die, but there's always a happy ending for them.  Monster-Jen is terrifying and should never be brought up again.

But then there's the ending.  Just those last two minutes.  Amy's Flesh.  Has been for quite a while.  She was kidnapped and held hostage and is having a baby, wherever she is.  Hatch-Patch is indeed a midwife, and a terrifying one at that.  There's speculation tying "the only water in the forest is the river" to the second Weeping Angels episode, titled "Flesh and Stone."  I don't think the writers would have had a fake Amy recreate the universe; something about that just feels invalid.

There were several hints to this in this episode alone: the Ganger Doctor was able to connect with her and see what was going on.  He was the first to tell her to breathe.  He said to her after she saw Hatch-Patch that it was a "time memory" while the Doctor said, "it's in my head."  Don't know if he could see it too or not, but would make life a bit easier finding her if he could.  Ganger Doctor also told Amy to "push, but only when she tells you to."

Speaking of Amy giving birth, was it just me or did it look like a Dalek eyestalk with a green pupil between Amy's legs at the end there?  Creepy~

And going off creepers, we saw creeper Rory and fanservice ("I'll break out the big guns") Rory in this episode... AND he didn't die for once.  Guess it was "Amy's" turn to do that.  Rory did seem to know that Amy wasn't right and trusted the Doctor enough to let him dissolve her.  Maybe that means Amy does love him beyond when he's dying, just not when she's Flesh.

Flesh Doctor was amazing.  Double Doctor trouble was most definitely a grand idea.  Loved it when the Ganger Doctor was getting used to himself and pulled a Tom Baker clip out of the archives asking, "Would you like a Jelly Baby?"  And their shenanigans popping up and down and finishing each others' sentences.
Ganger: "Tough old sexy."
Doctor: "Tough dependable sexy."

Sexy which, of course, was completely fine.  As much as the TARDIS likes to wander off, get lost or stolen, she's great at finding her way back when and where she needs to be.  I bet there's a contradiction somewhere about her outer indestructibility, though.  Sinking all the way through the ground?  The ground is solid, just a little acid-y.  Did she sink by her own will?

And of course, Amy's mistake, not realizing they'd switched shoes.  I had to rewatch the episode and keep close tabs on which Doctor was doing what to catch a lot of things.
Ganger: "Well, my death arrives, I suppose."
Doctor: "But this one we're not invited to..."
Now the Doctor knows that they've seen his death and what the TARDIS blue invitations were for.  What he'll do with that information we don't know yet, but certainly there will be some tension and blame and accusations coming out of it.  I can't imagine the Doctor would be pleased with any of them for keeping that from him this long.

Things to think about:
-How did the Doctor find out Amy was Flesh, though?  He said at the end that they were there in the first place because he needed to see the Flesh in the early days.

-Where is Amy?  Who took her?  When was she taken?  There's the speculation about Flesh and Stone, but beyond my unease with the idea, there's the fact that there was a huge time gap between series 5 and 6 - too long for Amy to be pregnant with Rory's child.  There was also the few month gap between The Impossible Astronaut and The Day of the Moon, which means she was likely taken by the Silence, which is what I'm leaning toward (also why she wouldn't remember she was in a Ganger).

Next episode, A Good Man Goes to War, is the mid-series finale; the last episode until September.  Looking at the credits posted on the IMDB, we're getting River back, as well as Jenny (remember the little girl regenerating?  Placing my bet on who that was~), the Silence and the Cybermen.  A Moffat episode, of course.  Can't wait, even if it's a cliff hanger.
