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.
