Line 31:
* [[Batman Gambit]]: By the Doctor, as usual.
* [[Body Horror]]: The rotting Gangers -- partially melted but still conscious. And eyes in one of the walls,made of more living Flesh.
* [[Buffy
** "All right, show me the scanney-trackey screen!"
* [[Captain Obvious]]: There is a massive cracking sound. Amy: "Something just cracked; I heard it!" REALLY?
Line 48:
* [[Face Heel Turn]]: The Doctor pretends to do this, making the Gangers think he's on their side (mostly by freaking Rory the hell out) until he has an out to "trick them into humanity".
* [[Fantastic Racism]]: Cleaves towards gangers in general. Amy demonstrates repeated prejudice and anger towards {{spoiler|the one she thinks is}} the Ganger!Doctor.
* [[
* [[Foreshadowing]]: Amy, in this episode, is worried she and Rory are growing apart, and doesn't like being separated from him. {{spoiler|Turns out they've been apart all along.}}
** During the first conversation between the Doctor and his Ganger, one asks about {{spoiler|Cybermats. Guess what's returning later in the series?}}
Line 76:
* [[No OSHA Compliance]]: Not only can the factory pipes spill [[Hollywood Acid]] when they rupture and the acid forms [[Deadly Gas]] when it melts stone, the entire factory explodes when overheated. No wonder they used to lose a worker a week.
* [[Not So Different]]: Arguably the entire point of the episode.
* [[One
* [[Power of Love]]: Getting a holo-telephone call from his son is what inspires compassion in Ganger!Jimmy to rescue the humans from the death trap.
* [[The Plot Reaper]]: {{spoiler|Ganger!Doctor}} tidies all the surplus elements of the plot (including {{spoiler|himself}}) away once they've outlived their purpose.
* [[Pre
* [[Pseudo Crisis]]: The last episodes cliffhanger whas the revelation of the Doctorganger. He and his original get along just fine.
* [[Reasonable Authority Figure]]: Cleaves, arguably responsible for the whole mess, becomes one in the end.
Line 92:
* [[Stupid Sacrifice]]: There was no particular reason that {{spoiler|Ganger!Jenny had to be taken down by Gangers (who knew they would be destroyed in the process) rather than originals (who would not have been harmed).}} But the Gangers insisted on it.
* [[Spot the Imposter]]: The Doctor's shoes have been burnt by acid; Ganger!Doctor's are still intact. {{spoiler|Subverted when it turns out they swopped shoes so the original Doctor could understand the ganger's perspective.}}
* [[Take That, Audience!]]: A minor one to the more [[Fan Dumb|vocal fans]] who persist in their desire to see David Tennant return;
{{quote| '''Doctor''': [Tenth's voice] 'Allo, I'm the Doctor [normal] [[Big No|noooOOOOOOOO!!]] ''Let it go, we've MOVED ON!!''}}
* [[That's What I Would Do]]: Ganger!Cleaves can guess the password the original Cleaves came up with, because it's the one she would have used.
Line 103:
* [[The Walls Have Eyes]]
* [[Wham Episode]]: It turns out that {{spoiler|Amy is a Ganger}}. Also, we finally find out who the Eye-Patch Lady is.
* [[What Happened to The Mouse?]]: After {{spoiler|Buzzer}} dies, no one ever mentions him again. Seriously, no one asks, "Hey, where's {{spoiler|Buzzer}}?" or anything. It's especially noticeable since he's the only one who didn't have a Ganger, as his {{spoiler|was killed by Cleaves last episode}}.
* [[What Measure Is a Non
* [[You Are What You Hate]]: {{spoiler|Amy, who shows extreme mistrust towards one of the gangers, only to be revealed to be one the whole time.}}
* [[Your Princess Is in Another Castle]]: {{spoiler|The real Amy is.}}
