Doctor Who 6x6 The Almost People - CLEAN
SO - the ending. HELLO! Did not see that coming at all 🤣 that's one thing I have been ADORING about Matt Smith's run as the Doctor... so many things I am unable to predict or even contemplate as a possibility. I admit, I love it when I see little story beats before the arrive, but I love it even more when HUGE stuff happens that I did NOT think of as possible!
I preferred this episode a lot more than the last one. I understand we had to establish the story, settings and all the characters, but this one really ramped things up.
I was a bit (a lot) confused throughout this episode, especially with Jennifer. Her story confused me, and also having Rory bonded with her, always following her around? I just don't know why he wasn't with Amy - or they should have gone together. SO many things these characters do that I would never 😅 but then again, you'd not rely on me for epic things such as saving the world!

Can't wait for the next episode. Easily the best of Series 6.
I'm sure there's a minisode before the next episode I may be wrong ?
There is ("prequel to A good man guess to war") but imo it's more a teaser/ad then an important Minisode. It's ok. There are others of this kind that actually spoil something, sometimes something big, sometimes just the dramaturgy of the next episode's beginning. So I'm advising to actually watching them after each season as extra material. But that's just me.
The look on your face as Flesh Amy disintegrated was absolutely priceless. And now it begins to come together. You know by now that the whole season builds toward it's finale by dropping breadcrumbs the whole way through. The back half of this season is some of Matt's best Doctor. Loving your reactions as always, all caught up now and looking forward to more. :)
I NEVER ever, EVER, would have thought it was Flesh Amy!! Not once did that thought enter my head. This is why I love these moments in Doctor Who! There's nothing better than being surprised and I think Matt's Doctor has delivered the MOST surprises. It's brilliant!!
I gotta say Matt Smith's acting at the beginning of this part 2 will always amaze me. The way he brought up references to older doctors. Just so well done!
Not sure if you put this together, but this means when Amy mentioned the doctors death to what she thought was the "ganger" doctor she was talking to the original doctor. So now he is aware he will die at some point and invite everyone to see it (which they made a point about not letting him be aware of what River, Amy and Rory saw.)
Yes!! It's all falling into place... WOW. So brilliantly done!
Great storytelling without doubt, but I always found it very hypocritical of the Doctor to establish that the gangers' lifes are as valuable as the humans', but then killing off Amy's ganger just like that. I guess it would be too complicated story-wise to look after her as well but nonetheless it's a bit strange to see that right at the end of this particular episode.
(especially after we saw that he accepted Rory as real when he was just a plastic centurion)
Rory, who once stood guard over Amy for 2000 years, and knowing they're currently in a dangerous situation, just decides to go and follow some stranger about? Hmmmmm. What an ending though! I'm not usually a big fan of cliffhangers but that was definitely a good one! Not to mention extremely surprising! Not even you Juliette, who's superpower seems to be guessing/predicting story elements (the Doctor swapping shoes) seemed to have any inkling about Amy. Thanks for another great reaction. Hope you have a lovely day Juliette 💜
Yeah, the Rory thing I still don't like 🤣 He should be by Amy's side! On a leash! And made to beg and do tricks. Wait, this is the wrong forum. OOPS. I have been noticing a delightful trend of cliffhangers both here with Doctor Who AND Buffy AND Angel. Are they trying to give me more grey hairs?! I love it though, especially when it's something I've not been able to guess. I never saw this coming, they definitely played this one close to their chests! Thank you, Neil! I've had an okay day.... I recorded tomorrow's gaming video and the game was pretty buggy and not great so I didn't know if it could be salvaged. I think I've managed to get something entertaining out of it though, so let's hope. It's getting a bit stressful. I'm going away for a few days soon and I have to say I really do need a break to not worry about things for a bit! I hope you have a lovely day ahead, Neil 💜🥰
"This is where it gets complicated"
This season has so many twists and turns.
