Dr Who: The Almost People

This week's episode, which is one week behind England thanks to Memorial Day, is the second half of the episode from two weeks ago The Rebel Flesh.

It's a pretty interesting episode. The ganger Doctor having to deal with all of the past regenerations was pretty awesome. Got a special kick out of hearing Tom Baker's voice come out of Matt Smith's mouth. The captioning even said (As the 4th doctor) which was kind of awesome.

I think this episode is showing what a lot of the problem with the world is. The problems between the people and the gangers is a lack of understanding. Having two Matt Smiths is pretty interesting, and kind of weird.

I like seeing Rory as a kind of a hero. He's definitely much more useful in these two episodes than he has been in the past. And he's a bit more useful than Mickey was. I really like Rory and I hate that they keep killing him. I'm sure I've said it before but Rory is to Dr Who what Kenny is to South Park. At least that's how it seems. Rory is a protector in this one. Something that Amy doesn't really let him be. She's too independent and strong for him to really be her protector. This time around he's being given that chance.

So many of the problems in this episode would be solved if the humans would just see the gangers as people. It seems to be speaking on racism when it comes down to it. They don't want to believe that the gangers are just like them so they're treating them as lesser beings. Sounds very familiar.

The eyes in the wall was pretty weird looking. That's all I have to say about that bit.

"An hour....five seconds.....somewhere in between." That's a great line, really. Very funny.

Roranicus Pondicus. I love that one too. Lots of good lines for the Doctor.

And poor Rory got tricked by the gangers.

This is all very interesting and confusing. I am liking that the ganger Doctor is acting just like the real Doctor. They are identical in almost every way. It's pretty amazing.

"You're twice the man I thought you were." That's a pretty epic line right there.


And in regard to the ending.......what the hell? That's all I can say. What the hell?
