Hmm, seem to be in a minority of 1 here. This week's DW?

Loathed it.

I'm confused. When I first watched it, when it ended, I wasn't so much shocked by it because the twist didn't make sense -- I was more confused by the point of this two-parter. Wasn't the point of all this develpopment of the gangers humanity to show that once they existed, they deserved to keep on existing? That's why it was okay for the ganger to take the place of the original man who died and became a father. He possessed humanity.

So when the Doctor found out Amy was a ganger, why did he immediately decide to destroy the ganger? I just don't get it. It's like DW couldn't decide if the gangers were monsters or not, if they were less than human or not. And I even watched DW Confidential and they kept saying the ganger Amy wasn't the real Amy and -- wasn't that the point of this episode? The Doctor kept showing how his ganger was the same in essence, even if scans can tell the difference between gangers and humans.

I feel like I need to watch it again. But... I didn't enjoy it, so I don't really want to watch it again. Hmm.

And yes, I'm bothered by the Amy-pregnancy storyline too.

No, I don't either, unless it was just to show the Doctor's ruthless streak.

And yes, I'm bothered by the Amy-pregnancy storyline too.

For me, it doesn't help that I already don't like Amy much as a character. I don't like the way she's written or what she's made to do, and this pregnancy thing is like the last straw.

It's odd. It's not like Moffat doesn't know how to write strong female characters. Case in point, River Song.
