Congrats to Sache for being right about everything. That's awesome. :)
I really like how this plot is going. I like how they did a two-parter all about the Flesh and explaining how it works so that no explanations would be required when they reveal that that's what's happening to Amy. I also enjoyed that it occurred to Amy that the Doctor who she saw die could be the Ganger. And that it's very easy to manipulate Rory by calling him strong and asking for his help. Heh. He's so hard up for praise.
"...and it just HAPPENS to be able to stabilize the Gangers so they can pass as human and then the other Captain Janeway blows up her ship to kill all the Kazon, but it's okay, cause she sent her Harry Kim to replace ours..."
LOL!
I'm a little apprehensive about the Magic Baby plot that's coming up, because I never like those, but I'm trying to have faith that Moffat can make it work. *crosses fingers*

Yup, she is way better at connecting the dots than I am. I expect she'll show up to gloat once she's downloaded the episode. ;-)

Rory had some nice character moments these episodes, which is good, because, finally. I think my favorite bit was at the end where he's forced to make the decision between the Doctor and his wife and he chooses to trust the Doctor. Awww. Yer a real companion now mate!

LOLIt just annoyed me. All clone plots have the same resolution -- at the end of the episode, you wind up with one of each person, whether it's that the clone died or the original died and the clone has taken its place. Why not

It's really hard to pinpoint the kidnapping, but if I had to guess, it would be somewhere in that three month gap between The Impossible Astronaut and Day of the Moon. There are enough clues to believe she really was preggers during the first episode. The Doctor comments that she put on weight and she fully believes herself to be pregnant as of the end of the episode. By Day of the Moon, it's suddenly all, "False Alarm!" about it. But it has to be before the kidnapping in that episode, since she saw Eye-Patch Lady prior to the abduction.
ALSO, I believe that the implication during the Time and Space Red Nose Day Special was that the question Amy was going to ask the Doctor was about TIME PREGNANCIES before they got distracted by memes reinacting themselves in their presence. (Of course, she was also wearing the same shirt THEN, too, but it could be that she was abducted right after that.)
So, assuming that as of TIA she's at around two to three months - early enough to not show but late enough that it's right around the time a lot

The shot they used to illustrate this was the shot of Amy and Rory getting off the bus, so either it was Amy in the first scene with them at the house getting the invitation and she was nabbed on their trip to Utah or I'm reading too much into this and it was before the season started like I thought all along

My objection is to the TARDIS stabilizing Ganger!Jimmy and Ganger!Dicken but not Ganger!Amy (who has spent a LOT longer in the TARDIS).
Good point. I guess I can fanwank it away as the Doctor told the TARDIS to stabilize Jimmy and Dicken, but left Amy so he could splat her. But even that's more damn magic bullshit.
Also, apparently the Ganger-control tech works throughout time and has a range that exceeds the boundaries of the universe, but y'know, timey-wimey, not so bad.I just realized something, everything about this makes more sense when you replace the words "Ganger" and "Flesh" with "Magic Bullshit". So of course the Magic Bullshit tech works throughout time and in other dimensions. It's Magic Bullshit

I'm not.
This dance that I am doing right now? Is NOT the "gloaty dance of being right" at all.
