I think she is not Amy. I think she is
a zygon. Neither do I think the doctor was 14 years late.
That'd be an AWESOME twist!

AMY MYSTERY
Questions and possibilities?
Amy being a Zygon is a long running rumor from way before the new series even aired. If that were true, once it got out so early would they still be using it?
Also, Episode one was amazing because the young Amy stuff was so sweet and touching, and his meeting the adult Amy was so tragic for missing young Amy/funny/interesting. If this adult Amy is a fraud, and a lot of evidence seems that way, I don't know how people will react to having a fraud Amy all season.
The little girl who played young Amy is supposed to be returning for at least the final episode though. She's been seen on set. Given Moffats love for the Cushing movies, could the Moff-man be going for a tri-fecta of introducing Cushing themes into the new show here? The Cushing Tardis, Cushing reminiscent Daleks, and... a child traveling companion, after having saved her from "x" and the phoney adult Amy revealed, she goes on to travel with him in season two? As others have mentioned, the report of Karen returning next season could have been a lie release to throw people off the scent of the seasons mystery.
TARDIS
The other big mystery stems from the rampant rumors this is not the Doctors TARDIS and that the actual TARDIS shows up in pieces throughout the series. Financially, I can't see them paying so much money on a "phoney" TARDIS set they don't plan to keep sticking around.
The other question is why is there another TARDIS? If there is subterfuge going on, and Amy is also phoney, yet whomever is behind it wants the Doctor to go about his business as usual, it must be to either learn something important or get him to do something important.
Amy not remembering the Daleks lends creedence to maybe the wrong Date on Rorys badge was deliberate and not a mistake as claimed.
And Timey-Wimey stuff is already going on. Patient Zero knew the Doctor and why the cracks were there in time, making it look more and more like Doc 11 has had an adventure already, or at the very least is coming in on the heels of leaving an adventure in the future.

You know if
I was thinking after watching the 11th hour for the first time how cool that would be and what a nice fresh change it would make.
young Amy becomes the Doctor's new companion I would LOVE that.

Oh yeah, DEFINITELY!!!!!!!!!!!!!
As original a concept as that would be, I can't help but feel that sort of angle would be sending out the wrong signals.
Would parents really want their kids to think running off with a strange man is a good thing?
Well if she's an orphan why not?
No real reason on my part, I'm just thinking that some do-gooder group would likely come out and claim it's encouraging kids to go off with strangers.
There's already been official complaints to the BBC from parents of kids with ginger hair claiming that the show has been making fun of them because the last 2 Doctors have made some reference to wanting that hair color so I would guess the production team would want to avoid something that could be linked however wrongly to something much more sinister.

Didn't the Doctor say that John Smith was still inside him? I think there was a part of the Doctor which loved her still (GASP!!!!).
Yea, he said that everything John Smith is is in him and everything John Smith was capable of, he was too.
This is what I'm thinking....The Doctor leaves young Amy and says he'll be back in 5 minutes. Then he shows up like 12 years too late....THEN we get a flash of the TARDIS appearing in what looks like 5 minutes later. I'm thinking that the 2nd appearing of the TARDIS 5 minutes later is from later on in the season (possibly the finale) and THAT is the real Amy...they just threw that scene in there for no possible reason, EXCEPT to show us that he comes back for little Amy. I think I'm rambling on at this point
See I thought that morning scene if young Amy being there when the TARDIS materializes was a dream the older Amy was having upon hearing the TARDIS truly materializing 2 years after he told the giant eyeball off.

I'm going to rewatch that part again righ now, still have it on my HD
I might watch the series again when it's all done but as much as I've enjoyed the new Doctor & companion ( or is she? ) the same "empty" feeling that the RTD episodes left me with is still very much present.

Watched it again and adult Amy does seem to wake up from sleeping right when little Amy hears the TARDIS. If you're right, still don't see why they would have that extra little scene with little Amy hearing the TARDIS though; who knows, guess we'll find out soon.
Another thing I didn't notice before, when the Doctor sees the crack on his little frequency monitor, he looks at it and then turns it off. So there is something more going on with Amy then meets the eye.
Oh
Don't know if anybody had put this out there, but River Song is in 4 episode this season, the next two and the last two

If you mean the fluffiness of the second and third ep I agree they were light but I am still loving the new series immensely and am sure things will pick up... hopefully as soon as this upcoming two-part episiode! :chew:chew:chew

On a side-note, anybody know where I can get this as a poster?? Would love to add this to my poster collection.
I'm enjoying Smith and Gillan, maybe you put your expectations too high
After the RTD era my expectations for the show were zero and I wasn't even going to bother with it.
I only changed my mind and decided to give it a go about 4 days before the first episode as the clip I saw of Matt Smith was enough to get me curious again.
That the new Doctor and companion are both pretty good was a huge suprise, but the overall stories have still been entirely forgettable aside from the odd brief moment.
I can overlook it to some degree because I like the leads this time round but the overall impression I get is that the modern show is still trying to come off as being much more grand and "epic" than it really is.
