That would have lost some of the "dramatic" surprise of seeing the ganger dissolve and real Amy wake up but would have gained by avoiding the appearance of the Doctor unilaterally "murdering" Ganger-Amy. I'm not sure if that would have been enough to prevent the problem that gave rise to this page being created but it would have been better than what was shown. | That would have lost some of the "dramatic" surprise of seeing the ganger dissolve and real Amy wake up but would have gained by avoiding the appearance of the Doctor unilaterally "murdering" Ganger-Amy.

The Doctor <b>did</b> have to do what he did. He was <b>not</b> killing an autonomous entity. But the writers, I think, put the "dramatic" surprise ahead of protecting the Doctor's character by making that clear enough. The plot logic was OK, the presentation was not.

Hmm, I agree it could have been handled better, I have a count of four people I've had to explain to now that amy's ganger wasn't independant,it was a traditional ganger. I think it makes sense for the doctor to 'kill' amy, so she could wake up, and to prove to rory it was a ganger, and also as we know, the doctor is prone to minor anger issues, and in desperation, not to mention an iminant birth, the doctor did what he thought was best in the current situation. Whether all that was clear from the script is another matter all together, but from a narrative point of view, I reckon it works out.--[[User:UnicornandtheWasp|UnicornandtheWasp]] 09:05, June 1, 2011 (UTC) | |||
