You raise a lot of excellent points there about this episode.

Brilliant review.

Thanks.

Good review yourself btw

Thanks.

Only 2 episodes left and then the break for a few months before we get the second half of Series 6.

bardingtide May 21 2011, 21:30:21 UTC

That is going to be so annoying

Very good review.

Are the gangers human? Well...from a Who standpoint? Yes. From a logical mind-bending-semantics viewpoint? Uummm...let's just hope human cloning stays theoretical because frankly, it freaks me out.

But Rory. Dear Rory. And FINALLY Amy gets to be the one watching Rory care for another girl on screen. And he wasn't even romantically interested in her. Serves Amy right :P

But looking forward to next week. Maybe the gangers'll get a free ride to a human colony where they can live their lives out in peace without running into their doubles?

Oh. Right. Gotta get the TARDIS back. Poor Sexy.

TARDIS will be fine. She's practically indestructable.

But it was an interesting episode. Can't wait for next week

Questions, Questions.

Doctor Who doesn't believe in being simple does it?

Can I say I love you for grouping Rory with Sarah Jane and Donna? Just cuz' I feel the same.

I know this has nothing to do with the episode, but gipsy, I LOVE your avatar! I have /got/ to use that quote somewhere...

Rory was such an highlight, and I loved it.

made her feel like she more than a lump of Flesh.

We all need someone like that at some point...

Moffat Era Doctor Who has a history of introducing “Bad Guys” who may not be as bad as everyone expects them to be. This week was no different.

Yup! I love the depth that the eps get thanks to this, we're bringing up a different generation of kids; stuff is not just black and white.

Rory was made of win. More Rory please

lys_aranel May 24 2011, 01:30:17 UTC

One of the Wholligans on Etsy brought up a good point-

Rory was Auton!Rory for awhile. He probably has the best perspective on the lives of the 'Gangers. Explains a lot about how he took care of 'Ganger Jennifer even after she nearly killed him and made half the viewers wet themselves.

That's a interesting look at it.

Good thought

Very interesting Lys. I agree that Rory is so full of win and awesomeness. Ok, to quote the Doctor "Remind me never to say that again" But it's true. Is he leaving any time soon? Can't wait for next week. Hopefully ITunes won't make me wait until Tuesday!
