Amy gets angry and does something about itI think we're arriving at the same conclusion via slightly different thought processes. I don't think the Amy who grows up with her parents (who love her, even if they do send her to psychiatrists - and hey, wouldn't you?) is as emotionally messed up as the first Amy we see. When she tells Rory she loves him in The Big Bang, it comes out so easily. Granted, after that she does continue to flirt with everything and Rory still occasionally has moments of doubting how much she loves him, but their relationship is definitely different in the sixth series. But Amy is still Amy, and she is not sweet and meek and accepting. People who hurt her will know about it
( ... )
I think the parents being there made a massive difference - but given that Amy and Rory got the series 5 memories back, some of her first growing up must have bled through into series 6 Amy, and she's still quite friendly-abusive with her affection rather then outright saying what she thinks (stupid face is my favourite endearment ever).
Hahaha! That explanation is so much better than mine - I had:
The Doctor has to be at the beach (the Doctor IS at the beach). River had to shoot, and kill (she does, the Tesselecta.) Something looking like the Doctor had to die. That explanation, however, didn't solve the touching thing. And you fixed it!
I would've loved if Rory had mentioned, in Girl Who Waited, that the Doctor had taken everything from him at that point with time travel - his daughter and his wife. And redelivered them both to him decades too late.
Of COURSE Moffat cheated. The non cheating version is killing the Doctor. (I mean, I went ganger, and picked the wrong type of cheating, but I could've told you there'd be cheating
( ... )
Of COURSE Moffat cheated.. Haha. Yes. It's what he does.
Stupid face is lovely! My family are strange and wonderful and affectionately sarcastic so I never had as much of a problem with Amy's insults as some people did, but in my head the season five memories are the source of a good deal of Rory's worrying.
I would have loved Rory to say that, too. Again, I wanted a lot more made of Melody than we got. But I thought The Girl Who Waited was pretty close to perfect otherwise so not too bothered!
>>Just because the history books say the Doctor died on the beach doesn't mean the Doctor died on the beach. The fixed point in time was River shooting the Tesselector!Doctor. And since it was always the Tesselector!Doctor on the beach then it was the Tesselector!Doctor and River who broke time and them touching would snap everything back into place.... )
Great. Just when I think I have figured out what goes in inside Steven Moffat's head, you point out all the questions I missed.
I wondered when the Doctor got out of the Doctor-suit as well. Perhaps the Tesselector is flame-proof and all the Doctor and crew had to do was wait until Rory, River and Amy left the beach? I think the crew have to be in there, since River sees the Doctor in the eye - could he have been running the whole thing from up there? As for where he went after the Seventh Transept, we'll get to see that (or at least hear about it) next season, won't we? *is unsure of EVERYTHING Who now*
When we first saw TIA, River's reaction to seeing the Doctor alive was so genuine and poignant...now we're supposed to believe that it was all an act?Yeees. I find it hard to believe that even River is that good a liar. There's a difference between pretending not to recognise your mother and faking that kind reaction. I'm a bit confused about what order those bits happened in - the alternate timeline seemed to happen
