And I'm going to be in Canada this weekend and have NO idea if Space is airing new Who or not up there. Either way, I'm probably going to torrent it once I get back.
Checked the schedule -- appears Space is sitting a week out with BBCA. I've been double-checking the Radio Times though and Doctor Who is still set to air on Saturday like normal. I guess there are advantages to being cheap and lazy.
NEW CRAZY THEORY: What if AMY was a clone the ENTIRE TIME and didn't know it and the reason she keeps having visions of Eye-Patch Lady is because REAL Amy is being held captive by her and Clone Amy and Real Amy are, like, slightly psychically linked. So, Real Amy is pregnant, but Clone Amy isn't and the TARDIS is scanning both of them, so schroedenpregnant.
Someone on Nos's journal speculated that as well almost exactly! It does do that marvelous thing I like where it turns out nothing is as random as it's seemed and everything ties into the finale. And there is definitely More Than Meets The Eye to this factory because they were doing everything short of having the Doctor say "I know more than I'm telling" to show off that he knew more than he was telling. I don't really think we've seen anything that contradicts it, other than wondering how the Silence got at 22nd-century technology from 20th-century Earth. We haven't seen definite proof that they CAN time travel, only that they are ATTEMPTING to, with the reverse-engineered TARDISes and Ashley the Infant Time Lady.
I admit I'm still sitting in Camp They Go Back In Time To Stop It because I know how Moffat likes his timefuckery and, well, so do I. (There's a reason Prisoner of Azkaban is my favorite Harry Potter book.)
Ah, Hell. Let's just have clones for everyone. They can do a two-for-one sale at the acid mine. Every last drop of flesh must go.
I was really, really hoping that's where they were going to go with "The Rebel Flesh." :-( That's way better! Much creepier when NOBODY may be their real self than when it's just the guest stars. Okay, and the Doctor.
Also, how in the Hell do you mine acid? Oh, that's right. YOU DON'T. Acid is a biproduct of ore mining. I feel like the writer heard the phrase "Acid Mine Drainage" and got the completely wrong idea.
Well maybe they -- ah, no, I got nothing. Although as a non-scientist I admit the idea of an acid mine bothered me not at all, aside from being an awfully contrived way to put the team in danger.
WTF? Where did this comment go the first time around? I hate it when LJ is stupid.

Stolen from the Sontarans, perhaps? That's all I got. It all seemed very Sontaran-ish, anyway. Right down to the acid suits the miners were wearing.
Well, permanently for values of permanently meaing "two weeks," as the show goes on mid-season hiatus in the UK June 4 and won't be back until September. I'm assuming, knowing full well what that does, that BBCA will sync back up for the fall half-season.
It's still ridiculous, especially when you consider that they're going to be spending the day running, you guessed it, a Doctor Who marathon. Put the new episode on, dammit! You got 24 hours of Doctor Who, dude, surely you can spare one of them for a new episode.
