Yeah, the monster wasn't moving that fast, was she? I think that at the least subconsciously, they felt they had to get everyone down to one version; if there's any substance at all to the 'competing timelines' idea then it could be a genuine part of the narrative. On the other hand, this two-parter, while I mostly liked it, was a bit sloppy.
if being in the Tardis is enough to make plastic people human, why didn't that apply to Amy?
The Doctor lied? Believe you're a real boy, Pinocchio, and you will be.
And anyway, what makes it okay to squish plastic Amy, when the previous episode has been all about showing us (albeit clumsily) that plastic-people-are-people-too-and-who-are-the-real-monsters and so on?
Yeah, there HAD to be a better way to deal with that.
