I don't ... I ... why isn't... how isn't... how can people... (and now please pretend the following is written in allcaps, while I refuse to assault your eyes with allcaps) ... Why has nobody apparently noticed that, at the end of a 2-parter extolling that the Flesh-people are perfectly valid people, the Doctor murders one in cold blood? And Rory lets him do it? Rory, who spent 2 episodes protecting the Jen Ganger, is perfectly OK with letting the Doctor murder his wife's Ganger? With next-to-zero information? Based on just a foreboding facial expression? I'm honestly aghast as to how this question isn't pouring out of people's mouths like an angry Double Rainbow. What did Ganger Amy do to make her so much more vile and murderable than the others? Did I miss a scene where she eats live kittens slathered in the living embodiment of purity, after throwing the living embodiment of purity into a wood chipper? Because the Doctor is generally not in the habit of murdering innocents and neutrals in cold blood. In front of their husbands.

It seemed he was very upset over having to do kill the ganger but I'm sure the only reason he did it is because she was created as a trick/trap so she could not be trusted to live.

To me it just looks like a horrible writer undermining his entire episode and committing character assassinations without even realizing it. Agonaga 03:05, May 31, 2011 (UTC) :: ::Ganger Amy is not sentient. She's just a body, being remotely controlled (unknowingly) by the real Amy in her soporific stupor (refer to what the Doctor says about 'the signal' to/from the Flesh a few minutes before dissolving her). I don't think the Doctor should have any problems with destroying her, since she's not sentient on her own. I thought this was quite obvious. :\
