He's also realized he's going to have to kill ganger!Amy. Which is killing a living, breathing person. Yes, it's for Amy's sake, but it's still wrong in some sense.

Someone on my flist compared it to having to kill your pet. It's not sentient, but it's alive and you loved it, but now the right choice is to let it die.

That works, too. As much as he can be ruthless, not!Amy is still rather closer to home than he's comfortable with.

Yeah. I know there's been a lot of debate about it, but I don't think it was a callous thing at all.

I thought Amy was hooked into not!Amy and wouldn't be able to return, aware, to her body until the Doctor broke the link somehow. Which he could only do by dissolving not!Amy.

I'm still trying to figure out why Amy flirting with herself is hot, and Eleven flirting with himself is adorable, while the idea of Captain Janeway flirting with herself skeeved me out completely.

Janeway doesn't seem the type? Eleven and Amy sort of seem like they'd flirt.

I don't think, for instance, that Rory would flirt with himself (Amy could goad him into it, but it doesn't really work in any spontaneous fashion).

I know. I don't need to see the hours and hours of labor, but, please, can we not have "oh, my water broke!" followed by "push, darling!"? It's so silly.

Oh yes, Jennifer was definitely uncomfortable about the gangers, even before everything went to hell in a handbasket.

Really interesting point about the Doctor's slamming Amy into the wall. I know I'm just going to have to rewatch this entire series when it's over for all the bits I missed/for all the bits I know now; I read that scene completely differently at the time (of course).

Ha! No, you're right about the flirting. BOO-YAH.

River's going to be so sad she missed two Doctors at once.

Oh, you win.
