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) | 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.

Like you, I think the real problem was the way it was shown, not the plot itself. I also think that the writers/producers went for the dramatic revelation and lost sight of the importance of making it clear what the Doctor was doing and, even more important, what he was not doing. Something along the lines of having Amy agree -- perhaps reluctantly and nervously -- to what the Doctor did would have made it easier to see that her ganger wasn't independent, the way the others were.
