Doctor Who: Some Miscellanious Analysis

[hermitknut]

So, I was looking over lists of Doctor Who episodes since 2005 (because I do awesome, special things in my spare time) and I saw some patterns. I'm not claiming that any of this is new or revolutionary, but I found it interesting to think about...

You kind of have a point on Rory/Amy. It's not so much that we don't see Amy and Rory's family; they've chosen each other and the family you choose does tend to become more important in some ways than the family you're born with. But because they've chosen each other; and they're -both- on the TARDIS; it has a danger of become 'domestic'. As of the God Complex though; it appears they're no longer travelling with him; but that has problems of it's own. It makes them feel like special guest stars on a show they're supposedly co-stars of.

Whilst I'm not a fan of Doctor/companion romances (and this, for me, includes the Doctor/River); what I wish is we could have combination of what we had with Rose and what we've got with Amy. Yes; Amy can choose Rory, but that shouldn't have to mean Rory needs to travel with her. Especially not with the way he can perform 'jiggery-pokery' on her phone. Heck; if I were the Doctor after what happened with Melody/River I would never let a married couple on the TARDIS again! Or if I did I'd make sure they had rooms at opposite ends of the TARDIS.
