::Rose was preoccupied thinking about the Doctor. Having almost been killed and then meeting a mysterious man, it is likely that she would not be thinking properly. | ::Rose was preoccupied thinking about the Doctor.

:::The obviously plastic look was a production effect for our benefit. ''[[Spearhead from Space (TV story)|Spearhead from Space]]'' created the impression that Auton copies are extremely difficult to distinguish from normal humans. | :::The obviously plastic look was a production effect for our benefit.

::::Two things about Rose Tyler. Firstly, at ''this'' point in her life, she isn't really adjusted to the idea of living in a world of fantastic monsters and a whole universe of strange, strange creatures. It's true that she's already seen living plastic, but, in the words of Channing, many years prior: "You have only seen the Autons... but the facsimiles are perfect reproductions". The second thing about Rose Tyler is that she elevates taking Mickey for granted to the level of an art form, and really wasn't paying him very much attention, being more interested in the mystery of her Doctor. She may well have noticed that Mickey looked- and was acting- weird- but was neither interested nor experienced enough to make the leap to "Wait a minute, he's a plastic duplicate being controlled by the Nestene consciousness!" | |||
* The Doctor calls humans "stupid apes" but wouldn't the [[Gallifreyan]]s, being [[humanoid]] and almost physically identical to humans, had evolved from an ape-like race? | * The Doctor calls humans "stupid apes" but wouldn't the [[Gallifreyan]]s, being [[humanoid]] and almost physically identical to humans, had evolved from an ape-like race? | ||
