Amy went through a lot of hardships during her time on and off the TARDIS, but we never really saw the repercussions on how it affected her. Just a mention here and there.

That's an unfortunate truth when it comes to most Who characters. I liked this episode particularly because it did show the consequences for at least a version of Amy, even though they managed to get her young self back. Seeing that Amy affected Rory deeply throughout the episode. He wanted so badly to save her. As you probably guessed, I adore Rory, he has so much love for Amy.

Thank you.

At least we did see the devastation older Amy had to have gone through. But it felt like a reset because Rory got back the younger Amy. Although I'm sure Rory had to live with knowing what had happened. I don't think he would have said anything to Amy about it

Amy was a fairly conventional run-around companion, there as a foil for the Doctor, who after all is the main character. Rory was kind of the companion's companion, there to shine a light on Amy, perhaps make us see the other side of her, not the adventurer but the woman. I found that an interesting dynamic. It never worked so well when Mickey was travelling with Rose and the Doctor simply because Rose didn't have much depth and Mickey was treated as a joke. There's the difference, I think, between RTD and Stephen Moffatt. Moff tries to... I don't know how to explain. I guess he's not obsessed with one character over all the others, he tries to be more even-handed and show more depth in the relationships between characters. But things are always going to get complicated because of the Doctor, he throws a spanner into everything just by dragging people out of their normal lives. His companions develop crushes, or feelings of hero worship at first because this being is showing them there is so much more out there than they ever imagined

I can't imagine being alone for that long.

[badly_knitted]

And having to survive on her wits... It's a terrifying thought!

Thank you!

Must be horrible to be alone for that long, no wonder she changed to much.
