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

Loathed it.

Too much running around.
They had too many duplicates in it, and it was distracting trying to keep track.

I haven't seen it yet, but I didn't like last week's so I'm in no rush.

I'm kind of inbetween. I thought there were some brilliant ideas in this double (heh) episode, but for the most part it felt unnecessarily messy and unfocused. They very clearly wanted the episode to set up the twist at the end, which could make things quite interesting (even if I don't like the idea of Amy being the Damsel^TM), but I can't help feeling they could have found a better way to get there.

But come on, "Reverse the jellybaby of the neutron flow"? That was funny.

The Rebel Flesh or the one that aired over in the UK but won't appear over here for two weeks - b/c we must do marathons on Memorial Day weekend, dang it!

I didn't like last week's, but I really enjoyed part two. Still nowhere near as good as The Doctor's Wife, but I thought it was a good, solid episode. Sorry it didn't work for you. Maybe you'll like next week's better. :)

I think it could have profitably been edited down to one episode - there really wasn't enough plot with the doppelganger stuff to justify a two-parter. But the double Doctor stuff made this ep infinitely superior to last week's to me.

Well I haven't seen it yet (still stalled half way through last weeks), but judging from my reaction to the last four or five I will be bored rigid and yet again debate whether or not to just give up on the whole show. Loathing might actually count as an improvement if they do something strongly enough for me to care.

I miss David Tennant.

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.
