: That's exactly it: plastic Amy is really just a physical extension of real Amy, which is why the real Amy wakes up when the plastic ganger is destroyed. (No idea why the TARDIS didn't fixate that one, though.) | |||
: I'm now trying to go back to [[The Impossible Astronaut]] to see what's going on, but even during their very first meeting with the president Amy is fake-pregnant, so she must have been plastic already at that point. [[User:Hack59|Hack59]] 21:36, May 29, 2011 (UTC) | |||

: Agreed, as Ganger Amy was not a sepperate soul. It was Amy's - I repeate, REAL Amy's - consiousness controlling an avatar, hence why she kept seeing Madame Kovarian - glimpses of where she really was. A body is not a character, the soul is the character. Ganger Amy was an avatar being controlled by Amy as she, in her original body, was asleep controlling the avatar. As soon as her avatar was destroyed, she woke up in her natural body. It's the same character in a different body. The argument is pointless, really - unless one believes a "character" is the body, not the soul. [[Special:Contributions/90.199.247.156|90.199.247.156]] 02:39, May 29, 2011 (UTC) | |||

: No, there needs to be a seperate page, There were two amy timelines now, one where she is with the Doctor, and one where she is in the hospital pregnant. To avoid confusion let's keep it seperate. Just like there was a [[Jennifer Lucas]], and a [[Jennifer Lucas (Ganger)]], they had completely different traits and beliefs. We cant have one Jen page that says "Jennifer wanted peace between the Gangers, but Jennifer's ganger wanted chaos" it won't work. Keep it as is.

I agree, this page should be deleted because the Ganger Amy is just a host body used by the real Amy. We don't know the specifics yet, but we know enough. [[User:Bigredrabbit|Bigredrabbit]] 10:41, June 4, 2011 (UTC) | |||
And she had to be there for at least 9 mounths...{{Unsigned-anon|75.11.156.81}} | |||
Deleted? | |||
Why should this page be deleted? None of the people making the argument for deletion are making a strong case.... | |||
Ganger Amy is akin in my mind to a remote controlled Robot Amy, only Amy doesn't always have the controls, actually her "control" is very limited indeed, just snatched intermittently here & there. To those of you saying Amy is controlling her Ganger, well, how do you figure? If Amy truly were controlling her Ganger don't you think the 1st thing real Amy would've done is try to tell the Doctor? Seeing how close Real Amy was to the Doctor it makes zero sense that she would just be okay with being kidnapped & replaced by The Flesh. If Amy truly were controlling her Ganger as an extension of herself, it would make perfect sense for her to tell the Doctor, not parade around like Ganger Amy is real, pretending she's on holiday. | |||
Do you see what I'm saying? Since real Any was trapped & only had brief connections with her Ganger shown via the glimpses of the woman in the window, this makes up a huge part of the evidence that Ganger Amy is indeed different from Real Amy. Why? Because real Amy couldn't hold & maintain total control over her Ganger. So Real Amy/Ganger Amy, are in fact 2 different characters, because real Amy could not control Ganger Amy for any meaningful length of time. If real Amy had been able to, the ganger Amy story arc would've ended pretty quick. And since real Amy had only minute control over her Ganger, they were in fact 2 different characters. | |||
This isn't like the Doctor & his Ganger, real Amy was being held against her will while her Ganger was sent out to act as real Amy in her stead to confuse/throw off the doctor. | |||
I'd also like to add that I think real Amy must've become pregnant before being swapped with a ganger. Why else would real Amy have been kidnapped in the 1st place? Just for kicks? Real Amy & Rory conceived on the Tardis giving their daughter Time Lord characteristics & thus the essence of a Time Lord. Which is why real Amy was kidnapped. To get the baby & time lord DNA cells. If my theory is correct real Any would've been kidnapped & held in captivity for 8-9 months or so. The brief snippets where Ganger Any showed being pregnant & felt pregnancy symptoms were the only moments Real Amy was connected completely, as in controlling feeling & thought of her Ganger. | |||
So, 2 different characters see? Think what you want, it's a compelling argument in my opinion. But besides all that, The real 11th Doctor & The ganger 11th Doctor each have a page, so why the outcry over Real Amy & Ganger Amy having a page? Doesn't seem fair because as far as characters go I think Amy Pond was a pretty important one during the 11th Doctors tenure, so why get in such a twist over a Real Amy vs. Ganger Amy page?

::I admit that Amy's ganger wasn't a seperate and individual character, but that doesn't mean the page should be deleted. River's diary isn't a character, but still has it's own page, likewise the sonic screwdriver. The Tardis Index file has multiple pages on objects and tools, that's what the Ganger was, and that's why I believe the page should stay. | |||

Based on the Doctor's comment when Amy mentioned that 'Eyepatch Lady', it seems to me that those occasions where Amy saw her were occasions where she was 'connected' to the original her and was able to see what she was seeing right then as she was examined in her prison. Since the Eye-Patch Lady only started appearing in "''[[Day of the Moon]]''", Amy must have been replaced at some point while she, Rory and River were on the run from the FBI (Hence accounting for the pregnancy anomaly; ''Amy ''was pregnant, but the ''Ganger ''wasn't, so the TARDIS was confused by the 'connection' between Amy and the Ganger causing Amy to read as pregnant but not pregnant). | Based on the Doctor's comment when Amy mentioned that 'Eyepatch Lady', it seems to me that those occasions where Amy saw her were occasions where she was 'connected' to the original her and was able to see what she was seeing right then as she was examined in her prison.

Of course, that still leaves questions about the implications of Amy's apparent daughter regenerating and the reference in the prequel to them holding the DOCTOR'S child prisoner, but I think that accounts for when Amy was switched neatly enough...[[User:MarcusSLazarus|MarcusSLazarus]] 20:39, May 28, 2011 (UTC) | Of course, that still leaves questions about the implications of Amy's apparent daughter regenerating and the reference in the prequel to them holding the DOCTOR'S child prisoner, but I think that accounts for when Amy was switched neatly enough...[[User:MarcusSLazarus|MarcusSLazarus]] 20:39, May 28, 2011 (UTC) | ||
: Amy is already fake-pregnant in the very first episode during their first encounter with the president. Essentially she must have been plastic for the entire season thus far, or otherwise it must have happened during the opening desert scene. [[User:Hack59|Hack59]] 21:40, May 29, 2011 (UTC) | |||
: Actually in the prequel the Dorium just says that the Doctor will be furious that they are taking somebody's child. It could very easily be Amy's child that they are after, --{{SUBST:User:Orhan94/autosig}} 00:54, May 29, 2011 (UTC) | |||
: The way I see it, Amy was abducted/cloned first, and then became pregnant. If the Flesh duplicated her exacty, surely it would duplicate the pregnancy as well?? | |||
:River said that Time-Lord anatomy was a miracle, and that whole armies would rip worlds apart for one cell. Putting emphasis on just one cell, it seems plausable to me that somehow Eye Patch Lady did get a single cell, and used it to impregnate Amy, in order to create another (half) time-lord, and thus lots more cells. Hence, the child IS the Doctor's. [[User:Geek Mythology|Geek Mythology]] 23:04, May 29, 2011 (UTC) | |||
== Something to think about == | |||
The Gangers can't go anywhere near water, can they. But in ''[[The Impossible Astronaut]]'', Ganger Amy drank some wine. Is this just a production error or something else? [[User:BroadcastCorp.|BroadcastCorp.]] 08:05, May 29, 2011 (UTC) | |||
The doctor explicitly states that he wanted to see gangers in there early days. Therefore, Amy is a more advanced ganger and can likely go near water. | |||
Also as Amy stated she was pregnant at the end of Episode 1 but denied it at the end of Episode 2 it is possible that that was the real Amy in Ep1 that drunk the wine and she was replaced by her Ganger-self sometime during episode two when they were seperated for something like three months. The person aboved also presents a good possible explanation. [[User:Looq|Looq]] 11:16, May 29, 2011 (UTC) | |||

Yes, she has been a ganger since ''[[Day of the Moon]]'' at the latest. However, some users want to wait until the next episode to write this up so your edit will probably be reverted.----[[User:Skittles the hog|Skittles the hog]]--<small>[[User talk:Skittles the hog|Talk]]</small> 11:20, May 31, 2011 (UTC) | |||
== Infobox: Object == | |||
As it has become apparant that this Ganger was not a sentient individual, but 'remote controlled' by the real Amy, and it has been proposed that it be merged with [[Amy Pond]], I have made some changes, mainly those from 'her' to 'it'. I recommend keeping the page, but changing the infobox to that of an object. Like this: | |||
{{Infobox Object | |||
|object name = Amy Pond | |||
|image = [[File:Amy-ganger.jpg|250px]] | |||
|type = [[Ganger]] | |||
|origin = [[Kovarian|Madame Kovarian]] | |||

|mentions = | |||
}} | |||
I have also taken out the appearance of Impossible Astronaut, as there is still no proof exactly when it was created (our first clue is the sighting of Kovarian in Day of the Moon.
