Production error?

Is it not possible that the Flesh copied the Sonic Screwdriver as well, thus making this, well, not a production error? Since the Flesh seems able to copy clothes, it is not unreasonable to state that it could copy a sonic screwdriver. Just an opinion.

Not a discussion point as such, but wouldn't it be terribly gratuitous if humans by the 22nd century would have been able to create a material that can copy anything with technical perfection, including sonic screwdrivers and... timelords?? Just imagine, if we can do that, why isn't just about everything set in the future different? E.g. the space station in the Satan Pit could have an army of plastic timelords assisting them...

Plot

We should probably note that Amy tells the "Ganger" Doctor about his death, which means she really told the actual Doctor. -- Wakukee

If you remember the doctor who spoke to felt the "WHY" a lot stronger than the one inside. Which would imply that the one outside, and thus the one Amy spoke to, was the Ganger Doctor rather than the origional. They probably switched shoes after that. Looq 11:08, May 29, 2011 (UTC)

There was no time for them to switch shoes after that, the 'Ganger' was made to sit on a barrel. They must have switched shoes at one of the few times that they were together when no one else was, early on in the episode when the mining crew were attempting to barricade the door.

That occured to me too. I guess another explanation for the Doctor outside feeling the "WHY" more strongerly than the one inside, could be that the Ganger Doctor (inside) had dulled telepathic powers compared to the Original Doctor (outside). Although that would seem to go against the grain of the two of them being the same, unless it has something to do with the Ganger Doctor being "new" a carry on from his difficulties with his previous regenerations.

"This one we are not invited to"

When the ganger doctor is holding the door shut on Ganger Jennifer.. an short piece of dialoge implys the doctor knows about his death

Ganger Doctor: My death arrives I suppose.

Doctor: But this one we're not invited to.

  • Because Amy accidentally tells him earlier in the episode. Witoki 08:04, May 29, 2011 (UTC)
  • I thought that was the Ganger doctor, becasue he started talking about the eyes asking why

Tom Baker Clip

Where is the evidence that Tom Baker recorded it recently with Big Finish? TemporalSpleen 08:12, May 29, 2011 (UTC)

Signal?

The Doctor says he needed to block the Flesh's signal to Amy. Any idea what he meant? I can't figure it out. 107.10.114.149 22:59, May 29, 2011 (UTC)

  • The signal allowing the real Amy to control the Ganger Amy, like the harnesses do. Witoki 23:23, May 29, 2011 (UTC)
