no, I think she's dreaming
Thor + Castle = me nearly forgetting it was Doctor Who day.
That really could've been a one-parter, I think; the pacing was generally weird, and since everyone came to the same conclusion in part two that they'd come to at the end of part one before they all started trying to kill each other, it all feels a bit pointless, especially since it was just a setup for Amy.
That said, I loved the bits with the two Doctors, especially when ganger!Doctor is still calibrating his millennium of memories and does the frankly rather alarming dub of Four's "Would you like a jellybaby?" Also, on a rewatch of that bit I see that he also does a snatch of One's "Someday I shall come back," although in his Eleven voice, and that his "Hello, I'm the Doctor!" is a dub of Ten. LOVELY. So! Assuming that ganger!Doctor and proper!Doctor swapped shoes almost first thing, though, then Amy going outside to confront ganger!Doctor and basically tell him that she's seen him die was ... something she actually told proper!Doctor. Oops?
Also, okay, the timeline of Amy's pregnancy is ... that she got pregnant sometime around Impossible Astronaut, but was put with eyepatch lady and released back into the world as a ganger somewhere in those three months between then and Day of the Moon, because she first sees eyepatch lady while investigating the orphanage. I have no idea how to untangle ANY of that.
Who the hell is behind Amy's kidnapping and gangering? (Shut up gangering is totally a verb.) I suppose the Silence are still the top suspects, except they would have to be time-traveling ones -- possible, since Amy saw one on picnic in 2011 just before the Doctor was killed even though the Silence had ordered their own execution half a century previous -- because Rebel Flesh/Almost People definitely took place in the unspecified future, when the living flesh thing was just beginning, ergo the '69 Silence wouldn't really have the means to do that. Goodness knows who or what Amy's pregnant by, either, although I am holding out hope that it's Rory's even if it is the timebaby. (I ... would be okay if it was Sexy's baby, but that is the MAD TARDIS LOVE talking.)
Anyway, next: RIVER, ALL THE RIVER. I will be okay with anything River is as long as she is not the timebaby or otherwise Amy-spawn. Meanwhile, sigh, the Doctor and Rory have to rescue Amy AGAIN, I miss those times when Amy used to save the world with her brain, although also YAY DOCTOR & RORY TIME, I am hoping they will have some more good interaction.
This half-season is ALARMINGLY SHORT.

(Also, I just watched the first episode of Life on Mars! And then went directly on to Almost People, which in retrospect was a bad idea. WHAT IS REALITY OMG.)

(Ahaha, welcome to the long illustrious tradition of sandwiching LoM between Who episodes! I watched all of s1 between, um, Utopia and Sound of Drums, god that was a mindfuck. HEE WHAT IS REALITY. Sam Tyler: he's either mad, in a coma, back in time ... OR A GANGER? Or a fobwatched Master, that's been done a lot.)

And I'm just saying, of all the Who episodes I could've preceded with Life on Mars, it had to be this one.
no subject
Weird mindfucks aside, how are you liking Life On Mars so far?

And I am finding it a little strange that I am ferociously attracted to John Simm as Saxon!Master and not at all attracted to him as Sam Tyler. The fuck, brain?
(Also, not only does Sam have bad dreams about being the Master, every time Gene Hunt hits him the Master hears drumming in his head. Trufax.)

Ohhh that feeling. Yeah, I remember being deeply disconcerted when I'd just spent eight episodes going "Aww oh my god Sam you need SNUGGLES" and then I watched Sound of Drums and was like "...what even, DO ME." I think it is because the Master is made of sex appeal and Sam is made of woobie.

This is an excellent theory! I think it's not so much that I want to do John Simm as that I want Simm!Master to dominate the everliving fuck out of me, no matter how unsafe and insane and nonconsensual that would be. (And coincidentally I want to top the everliving fuck out of Ten, so him and Simm!Master = two ends of a magnet meeting.)

And this is all assuming the Tiembabby in the spacesuit is in fact Amy's kid.

Not Rory! Because I can't forget what Octavian says in "Flesh and Stone": "She killed a man. A good man." And if River kills Rory, I will scream.

And yes, gangering is totally a verb.
