REACTION | DOCTOR WHO | 6x6 | The Almost People

[@VBane]

In episode 2 of this season, while investigating the orphanage, Amy saw a slot in a door slide open with the face of that eye-patched behind it. She ignores Amy, says "No, I think she's just dreaming" and closes the slot, the slot not existing after that. That means Amy was already replaced at that point, so it happened either while they were scattered between episodes 1&2 or between seasons.

Has to be between the Christmas Special and the start of S6 (and the Doctor says as much, I think).

[@grabtharshammer]

@@arch1017 That is what I thought, as that was Amy & Rory's Honeymoon and also when they got the Bunkbeds on the Tardis

[@railfan711]

According to the wiki and the Doctor, she was replaced at some point before receiving the Doctor's invitation to Lake Silencio.

I missed so, so much the first time I saw this. But after watching it again years later ,with what I now know, There are so many suttle things that pay off later. BRILIANT writing!

[@koletoday]

That is one of the most terrifying reveals in this show. It gives me literal goosebumps

[@RubyMadigan]

I'm pretty sure she got swapped between the first two episodes because she wears the same outfit from that episode onwards

[@scottredding7357]

21:18 and onwards - Britany experiences a 404 page not found error.

[@Mowingthefrontlawn]

I absolutely agree that it should’ve been one episode, maybe a 60-minute episode. I have never rewatched it in full.

[@mr.overlord6720]

Jennifer, in retrospect does make sense for her to go mad. Because in the first episode in the very beginning pf the episode we see her blatantly lie about pushing another ganger into the acid. And out of all of the characters she’s the one that lies the most with grievous intent through both episodes or hides important information from the characters from the start.

[@kingsora6352]

I enjoyed this episode as a horror fan and the twist with amy was just a nice cherry on top

[@WiccanRai]

I do think the story should have just been across one episode. The twist that Amy was a ganger was very good. I always thought Amy was switched with the ganger when the Silence took her from the orphanage as they told her she'd been with them several days, but that's so confusing as for Rory and the Doctor she was gone only hours. But then time travel, timey wimey stuff.

[@the_dropbear4392]

She saw the woman open the slot before that, so it must have been either between episode 1 and 2 or given the silence tell her in episode 1 to tell the doctor shes pregnant, it must have been between the christmas special and episode 1.

[@WiccanRai]

@the_dropbear4392 That does make sense.

[@jburditt6028]

I think it was in the bathroom of the White House.

[@ronfehr7899]

"Yowza" was a favorite phrase for Richie Cunningham in the 1970s sitcom Happy Days, which was about a family in the 1950s.

[@BritanyBinges]

I used to love watching Happy Days reruns when I was a kid in the 90s. :)

[@alexandershaw5603]

"Welcome to series 6 episode 7..." You had me for a second there! 6x6 is good though.

[@craigoconnor6662]

I agree with you concerning this and the last episode.

[@auntvesuvi3872]

Thank you, Britany! ⏳

[@IsiahBradley]

The CW-type intro is beyond annoying :) But "jelly baby of the neutron flow..." It's hard to explain how much I love that line! LOL!!!! As always, THANKS for this!!!!

[@katearcher8514]

Love this two-parter. I figured out two Jens and the Doctor swap all on my own, but the ending just punched me, like wtf. Here's my mandatory (for this episodes' reactions) recommendation of David Brin's 'Kiln People', which explores the themes of what makes a human a human much deeper and is more creative and fascinating. I mean, if you like this type of moral debate, you should definitely read it.

[@lucasmilano8792]

I agree, i feel like it could have been a 1 episode then the reveal at the end, it was an amazing reveal but the episodes themselves wernt strong enough to be a 2 parter really, plus something about jennifer annoyed me but hey thats just a personal thing cant fault the show for that haha

[@dupersuper1938]

Ah, the previous Doctor catchphrases...

[@jburditt6028]

I personally believe she was switched in the bathroom at the White House

[@8BitBex]

That intro they put on the American release is so weird.

[@BritanyBinges]

I completely agree!! It's unnecessary and misleading.

[@DOCTORFREEDOM]

I know. It makes no sense how they could beam a flesh signal into the TARDIS. Also they were outside the universe in one episode.

[@grabtharshammer]

The Dr said that was why he was there to understand how the signal was working, which it was still doing until he turned it off inside the Tardis, with the Sonic once he learned the frequencies. Being outside the Universe didn't stop things or even signals getting through, hence the Dr getting "mail" with the little box that took them ouside

[@grabtharshammer]

Why would Miranda Cleaves be the bad guy, she is the boss on that site. Very clever, and a good boss. Least likely to lead a revolution. Whereas, Jennifer Lucas was always damaged, always very emotional, always the most likely to flip into a bad guy.

[@asterix7842]

I didn’t like these last couple episodes that much either. The next two episodes are among my favorites. I can’t wait to see your reactions. 😊

[@kemmdog4444]

Nice,I can watch the reaction to both.😊

[@RedPandaGirl002]

Hey there! Idk if you saw my comment for on the Vampires episode yet? Just a fanfic crossover idea for it. 😁💡

[@Mitzi_DelverVRC]

I'm sure someone's said it here before, but that new intro is exclusive to the American broadcasts of this season. From my understanding, most people found it a little annoying.

[@jennifermorris6848]

So we spent the whole episode proving that flesh people are unique individual people with rights. Then we dissolve Amy2. Does Amy2 not have rights? Couldn’t she come with us to help? It’s been her with us for about 8 months.

[@thepandorica1660]

It's because the gangers in this story were living beings. Amy's one was more of a spy database or something

[@nocturne8333]

The solar storm animated the Gangers in this episode. Amy’s Ganger was just an avatar for her consciousness, as she’d been taken before The Impossible Astronaut.

[@darynvoss7883]

This is why he says "given what we know I'll be as humane as possible ". He had to disperse the ganger to save Amy and that was not a tough choice.
