There's subtlety and there's subtlety.
I'm all for putting in clues and nuggets of information throughout a story arc, bad wolf and all that.
And fair enough for having a go, I just think it was done poorly.
IMO, it was either written badly or delivered badly.
For things such as this the big reveal should come at the end with a:
"I knew there was something going on, so that's it" - moment for the viewer.
Not - "WTF just happened there, I don't get it" Then have to watch the scene several times again to get a part understanding.
The story shouldn't have to rely on

and for the viewer to faithfully just accept whatever happens.
Obviously Amy has been gone for at least 7-8 months.
Who's taken her, where has she gone, for what purpose.
I know that will all no doubt be explained, but there should have been an incident that has happened in a previous episode that facilitated her abduction, and that at the moment the doctor revealed this Amy to be a copy, the audience could go " I bet she was taken in that episode when..........."
They should even have thrown a curve so you thought you knew when she had been taken but it turned out to be some other time.
If you follow me.
The end of that last episode just seemed rushed and just didn't do it for me.
