I half-expected for the thing about proper!Doctor and flesh!Doctor about swapping shoes to have been a lie. Like a sort of double bluff. Because where does the Doctor from Impossible Astronaut come from?
And earlier in that episode, Amy read from the book about how the 'mysterious Doctor' was seen carried away by a giant sphere. His jury-rigged console room, y/n?
Damnit, Moffat. Why do you have to split the series on a cliffhanger? Not fair!
Known for his cliffhangers, he is! At least it's just a few months. Can you imagine if we had to wait an entire year to find out what happened?
ETA: I don't remember a book or a "mysterious Doctor" reading at all! It was midnight when I watched, though. I'll have to rewatch. Oh, the sacrifices we make for fandom.
Oh my god, I'd go mad. I heard that Moffat's doing this BBC adaptation of Sherlock Holmes too, and I just know he's going to fuck with us like that. Doctor Who has been nothing but cliff hangers and mind-fuckery ever since he took over.
I haven't actually talked to him personally--kind of scared of him, TBH--but he doesn't seem the type to miss important plot points. You'd be thinking he's not paying attention at all, and then he'd not only explain what just happened, but proceed to deduce all the rest of the entire season.
I'm not too worried about Moffat's Sherlock thing. I mean, what kind of cliffhangers were there in the original? Apart from, you know, the ACTUAL cliffhanger, but we all know how that ended. Doesn't seem like you could get a whole lot of suspense out of it. Still...it is Moffat. I suppose we should keep an eye on him.
That's exactly the question, isn't it? We - stormymouse and I - assumed that something happened after Amy told the doctor she's pregnant. Because Just like that she wasn't anymore... But you also have a valid point. Maybe Amy hasn't been Amy for LONGER. Which would be devastating, really. Poor Rory! And how long does the doctor know?
I'm figuring that's way too complicated (and some viewers might get highly testy if we've been led to invest emotionally in someone who's not really "Amy" at all, although the way I see it, she was, but anyway...) and it probably won't turn out that way. I just find it interesting to speculate.
it was in the acid too, there could have been a copy of it
The acid doesn't make copies of people/Tardises, though; that was the raw Flesh - it made a copy of the Doctor when he touched it. The acid's just the stuff the factory and workers were there to mine.
Good theory, though...and one's that as viable as any I've seen so far. I'm sure all this wibbly wobbly guff makes perfect sense somewhere in Moffat's head, but I am SO CONFUSE right now. :P
Oh, okay. I had trouble telling the difference between the vat of acid and the vat of raw Flesh. I had trouble figuring out what was going on in the entire first half, honestly. But did the TARDIS never touch the raw Flesh?
Amy can't have been Flesh before Big Bang 2 because, presumably, her real self is being stored at some distant location in space, which would have been destroyed when reality collapsed. She also must have been flesh by the time of the second episode of this season. Somewhere in between that time is the window of Fleshification.
