'Our Mrs. Reynolds'
A topic for the discussion of Doctor Who, Arrow, and The Flash. Beware possible invasions of iZombie, Sleepy Hollow, or pretty much any other "genre" (read: sci fi, superhero, or fantasy) show that captures our fancy. Expect adult content and discussion of the Big Gay Sex.
Marvel superheroes are discussed over at the MCU thread.
Whitefont all unaired in the U.S. ep discussion, identifying it as such, and including the show and ep title in blackfont.
Blackfont is allowed after the show has aired on the east coast.
This is NOT a general TV discussion thread.
And, for reasons that defy understanding, I forgot that this is a show that does 2-parters, and, with 7 minutes to go, I was thinking, "How are they going to resolve this in the time left?"
I didn't know it was a two-parter, so I was doing the same thing.
I do like that Rory's doing things that aren't All About Amy.
Andi figures it's Rory being a nurse, and helping out, more than him ignoring Amy. He sees someone in pain, and wants to help.
He may be 1000 years older than the Doctor, but a good chunk of that was staying out of the way of people..and being a fake human. So he has a bit of empathy to these "fake" humans.
The Gangers remind me of Odo from DS9

Oh, yes. He's an interesting foil to the Doctor in a lot of ways, and he's quickly shaping up to be one of my favorite companions.
And evilly - they're going to skip Memorial Day weekend so we have to wait two weeks for the second part!!
I do like Rory very much and it's cool that he has his own storyline in this one.
Are they skipping next week in the UK too?
I think this was my favorite episode so far this season -- creepy and thinky, good acting, good writing. I love Rory more and more with every episode. And Doppel!Doctor! I wonder if they might take this in a Farscape direction for a while -- what would it be like traveling through time and space with TWO doctors??
They should be able to tell the Doctors apart by their footwear.
Ah, of course -- good call.
So do we know what the acid actually does, besides dissolve anything it comes into contact with? I mean, do we know what the Army is using it for?
Where do the doppel clothes come from, anyway?
There was an offhand remark early on that the ooze also created the clothes.

Nice!

No, it's airing on BBC1 May 28th.
It's probably just me and my place of living on this planet, but I was all "oh, God. It's The Conflict in a nutshell. It's our conflict".
So it was one of the most political/looking-into-the-abyss episodes of DW I've watched, to a painful level.
Final thoughts: I love Rory. And I wish this episode would have more depth, because right now it seems just a trick and not a meaningful episode (even with what I wrote before. I know, I can never be satisfied).

Good call indeed. But really, a dopple!Doctor was so obvious. A dopple!Amy, however...

I can also see how Amy might misunderstand, and rather hope they write her better than that. As for what I think of the 'gangers... I can see how many people would be threatened by a copy of themselves, but I think I would be thinking, "Instant twin! Awesome!" and don't quite get why none of them had that. Wonder if the Doctor will think his is double the fun.
