Rory getting righteously angry is an awesome thing, and needs to happen more.
Yes!

I was furious at the end of the last episode you saw: they spent all this time establishing that a Flesh being was still a person, an individual, and then the Doctor just destroyed Flesh Amy. That made absolutely zero sense to me.

ROOOOOOOOORRRRRYYYYYYYYY
Works for almost any episode he's in.

I loved, loved "The Doctor's Wife." I wasn't so happy about those that came after.

Eleven killing Flesh!Amy didn't bother me because she'd seemed so out of character with the prejudice, and they'd been saying this was the start of the Flesh, so I'd assumed the Flesh went very bad after that and Amy was a sleeper agent. I'm not sure, I'm getting through these as quickly as possible, so I' sadly not applying much high-level brain to them. :-/

On another note, if it had been Ten, I would have shouted the place down. Something casually uncaring about about Eleven sometimes, I don't know.

Since when does the Doctor KILL even "sleeper agent"s? The fact that her behavior seemed different from Amy's just emphasizes that this was a separate individual.

We know he did terrible things in the Time War (though we don't have details), but I thought that was a one-time, extreme situation. I don't want a Doctor who casually kills people for not being who they say they are-or even who they think they are.

You have a point. At the same time, for some reason with Eleven, I didn't even note it that way. To be fair, I might have had the same lack of WTF if it was Six doing it. I also had the thought that since Amy and Flesh!Amy appear to be connected, that Flesh!Amy couldn't survive original Amy giving birth and would very soon be in horrible agony before dying, but I couldn't quite figure out how to put that into words.

I'm gathering from what you're saying that this is an action won't be explained later then. I'd kind of assumed there would be some form of explanation in the next episode. If they haven't, that's a mistake on the show's part.

RORY IS MY FAVORITE. And he is doomed. But I know he's supposed to die a lot, so his doom will be spread out at least.

I thought that might be the Gaiman episode. Did the Tardis seem a little Delirium to you? :-)
