s she compassionate or completely unable to take anything seriously, even when people are dying? An inability to take things seriously is a perfectly valid characterisation, but it should at least be consistent. Does she care about Rory? Does she take him for granted? Does she see him as an obstacle to the life she wants? Put Amy in any hypothetical situation, and I wouldn't be able to tell you how she would. I can't love her if I don't know who she is.
I am rather a fan of Amy [but then I hated Rose]; her character is precisely that - she is mercurial, immature. She feels things deeply but briefly, and she's afraid of feelings and of being tied to anything. She is Peter Pan, and she loves Rory and is afraid that this means she has to become a grown-up, that being one of the grown-ups means you have to stop having fun. In that respect I think I enjoy her most of all the New companions (well, maybe tied with Donna) because she is more realistic. She's not a Buffy-clone, and she's not mooning after the Doctor while enclosing a core of awesome that is so much greater than his.
I can't love her if I don't know who she is.
Ten thousand flighty and mercurial women are suddenly very depressed and they don't know why.
I am however agreed that 11 kicks the arse off 10.
I am very fond of Rory. He is terribly sweet. I wish we'd been able to see more of his interactions with the Doctor, because they seem to have a closeness that we haven't really had a chance to see developing.
YES. :( I love Rory so much and I am horrified by the possibility that we won't be able to keep him.
- My housemate and I have decided that the next series is going to be about River Song and Donna Noble saving the universe together, whilst the Doctor is trapped in the Pandorica
