The only thing that was missing was Amy in Flesh-makeup. Would've been a wonderful image, but I suppose it wouldn't make sense what with the TARDIS having stabilised the Gangers. She could've perhaps reverted before the Doctor dissolved her, though. I'm sure they could've shoehorned the image in somewhere. It's probably an expensive aesthetic, mind.
Also, as far as I understand it, the Amy ganger wasn't cut off from the real Amy, the connection was there right up until the Doctor zapped her, so there wouldn't have been an issue with stabilisation regardless of the TARDIS.
Also, I really can't believe none of us even considered what was actually happening, considering all the clues thrown in which become more apparent on second viewing.
I know! All that timeline bollocks, with Amy having to choose between two different timelines... we'd been spouting absolute nonsense! Well - me, specifically, but it's like... everyone was so busy considering the possibility that the Doctor could have a significant clone that nobody even considered either of the others.
And yeah, agreed - the Amyganger is a functioning avatar, rather than a defective clone. Hence the visions of the hatch-lady etc.
One of the more ridiculous theories is that the light at the end of her pod is a Dalek peering into her downstairs smile. Frankly though, I don't know anything about the next episode and I don't want to. I know the Eyepatch lady's name, I know the names of some returning creatures from the BBC website... and that's it!
Most significantly, those fellas with the hoods? I know
nothing about them. Not who they are, not what they are, not what they represent... and yet, they're the main monsters! As far as I can tell. This is the first time in years I've not known what the villain is. I knew about the Silence, I knew there would be a Siren, I figured House would be the villain and I knew about the gangers... but these guys? Not a sausage. Never seen them before in my life.
And yet, according to this...

Saturday can't come soon enough.

Yeah, that was my understanding as well.
Regardless, I think it had a lot more impact without showing her in flesh-makeup. Like, right up until she gets melted there was still just a 'wtf no way is this possible' feeling to the entire thing.
I'd just have liked to see the image, to be honest. Even for just a second as she melts. She's stabilised, of course, but the Doctor unravels her. I think it'd be quite a significant picture. Then again, I think that might've just been 'cause I adore the make-up.
