Amy and Rory Pond - and the epic Pond Family silverducks May 20 2013, 21:30:32 UTC

So, I thought I would start this discussion off with the glorious Ponds - Amy and Rory! And because the Pond family is so awesome and also includes River and the Doctor, I thought we could discuss the overall Pond family here too ( ... )

This is kind of a test comment, but I completely agree about the Ponds really beyond responsible for taking my Doctor Who fandom to the next (and completely bonkers) level. I mean, I even started to read the tie-in novels to get more Amy and Rory ( ... )

There's tie in novels... And Christmas comics? WOW! Very cool ( ... )

Oh my goodness, YES there are tie-in novels. I am not sure whether Doctor Who Magazine is still featuring Amy and Rory in their comics, but in the US there is a standalone Doctor Who comic that has been using Amy and Rory as Eleven's companions. I'm woefully behind on the third series of the latter, but the first two had great characterization. I mean, the tie-in novels are basically glorified fanfiction, but some can be really good. My favorite is "The Glamour Chase," which gives some really good backstory to Rory. There are a few others which are good, but probably the most heartbreaking in retrospect is "Touched by an Angel," which, as you might guess, features the Weeping Angels ( ... )

Re River being Amy and Rory's daughter: oh my goodness do I wish that we had had more family time together, especially post-reveal. Especially with her and Rory because oh my goodness does the fact that River actually confides in Rory in The Impossible Astronaut and how her tone of voice changes when she first sees him in the centurion outfit in A Good Man Goes to War (and before she even realizes that he's going to Demon's Run FOR HER) just seems to hint at the affection that she has for her father. I just really wish that we had seen more of that relationship ( ... )

I'm not entirely sure whether to just make a separate post for River or not! But in terms of her being Amy and Rory's daughter... Well, is it bad for me to say that immediately made me like her so, so much more ( ... )

Yeah, I think that at least The Wedding of River Song indicated that River stopped by to see her parents with some frequency, but I wish that we had seen more of it on-camera! And YES I would have loved more Rory and River scenes. I really always wonder what it was like after the revelation in AGMGTW-like, did River, Amy, and Rory have an awkward discussion over tea or something ( ... )
