Beth Willis confirmed that the ganger Amy has been in with the Doctor and Rory since the beggining of series 6. So shouldn't we put Ganger Amy as the companion for the first six episodes of the series? The preceding unsigned comment was added by Doctorpenguin (talk • contribs) .

I am over 100% agianst this. I would like to point out we will need an in-universe source to add to the articles. Also producers lie,they said no classic monsters would return in the series and that was a lie. They could be lying about this. We should wait until we get an inuniverse source, such as a TV story before we add it. Until that time, we leave it as orignal Amy. Mini-mitch\talk 22:43, May 30, 2011 (UTC)
Absolutely concur with Mini-mitch. We may not be able to make a definitive ruling on this until episode 13.

"Ganger Amy" is Amy, with her mind/soul/consciousness inside another body. "Ganger Amy" is not a companion because she is Amy. Bigredrabbit 10:37, June 4, 2011 (UTC)

Well we can't add Amy Pond (the original) as a companion as we don't know how long she has been with the doctor for the series. We can either count both, or neither of them, as Mini-Mitches rule - we need an in universe source applys to both of them. --User:Ghastly9090/sig 15:03, June 4, 2011 (UTC)

What do you mean both or neither. Normal Pond is a companion, both from Bigredrabbit's point of view and the fact she appears at the end of The Almost People. It would be silly to change it in wake of the next episode tonight.----Skittles the hog--Talk 15:43, June 4, 2011 (UTC)

I mean there are two options. List them both as companion, or don't.--User:Ghastly9090/sig 17:24, June 4, 2011 (UTC)

Yes, I understood your suggestion, but I have no idea how you came to such a conclusion. Normal Amy is a companion in series six.----Skittles the hog--Talk 17:25, June 4, 2011 (UTC)

We don't quite have enough info to judge what's going on with ganger Amy at this point. She seemed pretty fully formed to me. I don't think I buy what Bigredrabbit is saying about her being indivisible from human Amy. The lesson from The Almost People is surely that gangers can become fully-established, distinct individuals. And we learned that being in the TARDIS "solidifies" them. So I don't know if I buy that ganger Amy is just the normal sort of "remotely controlled" non-self-aware ganger that we see at the very beginning of The Rebel Flesh.
But I think Ghastly9090 is a little off-base to say that human Pond isn't in this series. At an absolute minimum, what A Good Man Goes to War establishes is that human Amy was definitely in A Christmas Carol. She probably has been back since the closing minutes of The Almost People, but we can't be certain that we've been watching the real Amy since then. After all, the Eye Patch Lady has displayed a penchant for using the same trick twice — who's to say she won't go for the trifecta?
Like I said, we can't know what's truly going on until episode 13. No need gettin' worked up about it for months yet. Just link to Amy Pond for now, write that article well enough so that it explains the ambiguity as we understand it through episode 7, and just be patient. All will be revealed.
