That Is A Reference To The Fact That Amy Told Human Doctor How He Died, But She Thought She Was Telling Flesh Doctor.

Did you also notice that during the final dialogue between the two doctors the flesh one said ‘So my death arrives’
and the doctor replies ‘but we’re not invited to this one!’

In ‘confidential’ it was said that Amy has been a ganger in all 6 episodes which means she must have been taken before the events right at the start of The Impossible Astronaut.
The Xmas special was set during Amy & Rory’s honeymoon and the S5 finale ended with their wedding so, unless she was taken during the unseen period between the events of Xmas and Impossible Astronaut, she was taken sometime during S5.. Is it possible that Rory married the ganger??

Something been niggling me for some time.
(The only water in the forest is the river)
Is this a reference to the Weeping Angels episode where Amy was all alone in the forest with here eyes closed?
Point being Amy might have been kidnapped during this episode and swapped for a “Ganger”. Leaving River being the only “Water in the forest”.
Human’s being 70% water and all that.
Just a mad theory!

Just finished watching, Silence In The Library and Forest Of The Dead, and i’m thinking…
“That’s great, so why can’t Steven not write episodes like these.”
It feels that he’s lost his touch.

finally someone on my wave length. in my opinion there has only been one good episode in the whole season, and that was the Doctor’s Wife.

Loved the ending but I dont see how the person with the ballon in the first trailer will fit in with the next episode and there that beastly thing as well.

Great episode and I’m loving the more complex sci-fi storylines. However, one gripe of this series so far – where are the monsters?
The Silence are great but then we have a human avatar doctor (black spot), a green smoke (doctor’s wife) and more human avatars (rebel flesh.) So with the exception of a green eyed Ood where’s the creative aliens, I’m starting to miss them.

I’m 37 and have watching the re-launched show since it restarted. In my humble opinion, this season (so far) has been the best I’ve ever seen!
It’s proper ‘Who’ – my 9yo is spooked but really enjoying the twists and turns. It’s about time didn’t treat children as ‘cotton-wool clad idiots’ – more of the same please!

The baby is a girl that is all that has been confirmed (well that and her name “Melody”). It’s not The Doctor, unless you got it the wrong way round and either Amy or Rory are the Doctor.

Hey guys I wouldn’t say the almost people was the best episode ever but the cliffhanger was certainly the most concluding.
Also I think that River Song is Amys daughter because theres been little clues through-out the series that Amys pregnant but in the doctors wife idris said the only water in the forest is the river and river song so yeah. 😀

The gangers the Doctor fought for, were “an early version” of the technology. They came to life unintentionally.
I am guessing the ganger that Amy was, was a more advanced version that was not alive in its own right. This kind of ganger is what the company (Morpeth thingy) intended to make, and presumably did manage to make once they were aware of the “living problem” of the earlier versions.

So Amy has a baby with Rory (hopefully Rory) which turns out to be Riversong, the Doctor and Riversong meet, fall in love and have a baby who is the little girl in the astronaut suit. River says she kills a good man which muust be the Doctor and so far the astronaut has killed the Doctor so River must be the astronaut and the little girl but then again the little girl regenerated and river cant regenerate because she’s human so therefore the little girl must be someone else. I cant keep up. I guess all will be revealed in 5 days.

Very complicated-I feel as if I need to watch the whole series again- I hate not being able to work things out! And I don’t find it scary, which is odd, as my 61 year old husband and 30 year old son do!

It has all got a lot too complicated-you need to be a super brain to work it all out! I feel as if I need to watch it all again just to catch up!
And I don’t understand why I don’t find it scary when my 61 year old husband and 30 year old son both do!
