Pfft…Ian and Barbara might as well have been married…

(Should we nit pick the use of the word “never” here, when they weren’t married for roughly half the time they’ve travelled with him? Or are these two separate statements? They’ve never liked Amy and Rory, and they’re not going to give any reasons for that, but, also, it doesn’t seem like Doctor Who with a married couple in the TARDIS? Is that the meaning here?)

(Also, see The 45 Deaths of Doctor Who, which might be an appropriate response to ALL of these secrets).

Oh, let’s see…she’s was an orphan, originally from Scotland but raised in England by her aunt.

But, you know, tell me something about Donna, or Rose or Martha that doesn’t include the Doctor, their job or the person they’re in a close, personal relationship with.

It’s kinda’ tough, isn’t it?

Now, tell me something about just about any of his other companions that doesn’t involve The Doctor, their job or the person they’re in a close, personal relationship with?

Why single out Amy?

They’re the same man. The same man with eleven different faces.

If you don’t find Eleven interesting then you don’t find The Doctor interesting.

You do know it’s okay to love previous Doctors, right? I mean, nobody’s ever said that because there’s a new one you have to forget about everything that came before. In fact, exactly the opposite…

I still love Five, and Six, and Seven, and Eight…

And even though I didn’t get to see much of Nine’s series when it was broadcast, I’ve grown to love him too.

And while they were exploring the galaxy before I was born, I’ve come to love One, Two, Three and Four as well.

And, yes, I still love Ten too.

But, what you do have to understand, is that the BBC are concerned with promoting the show now…as it is now…the Eleventh Doctor and his companions. Because, you know, it would make absolutely no sense for them to promote the show as it was… “Hey, everyone, come and watch the Tenth Doctor and Martha…although…they’re not on any more…so you’d have to go back in time to watch them…and you don’t have a TARDIS…so that isn’t going to work…”

So, yes, I guess what I’m saying is that those aren’t “homages”…they’re adverts…promos…

So, uh, yeah, really, the above post makes so sense to me, but perhaps…

Ian Chesterton, Steven Taylor, Ben Jackson, Jamie McCrimmon, Brigadier Lethbridge-Stewart, Harry Sullivan, Adric, Vislor Turlough, Jack Harkness, Mickey Smith, Wilfred Mott, Rory William, Craig Owens…

…but, yes, more male companions would be good!

(I miss my gif folder…)

Oh, please, the show that at one point had a talking robot dog with a tartan collar as a companion has only just jumped the shark now?

And, heck, if we’re only talking about New Who then it jumped the shark with Doctor Two.

In fact, the Doctor jumps the shark seven times before breakfast, but…

Did we all miss the part where Melody grew up with both Amy and Rory as their best friend and was partly responsible for getting them together in the first place?

I have no doubt that both Amy and Rory wish that they could have raised Melody as a baby in a completely normal way…but, that didn’t happen…and now they know that not only did they get to spend many, many years with her as she was growing up (and looked after her and did a lot to try and keep her out of trouble)…but they also know that their daughter ultimately grows up to be the quite fabulous and wonderful River Song. And, you know what, as someone who is actually missing out on a hell of a lot of my children’s growing up, if I knew for a fact that they would both grow up to be people as awesome as River Song, I’d feel a whole lot better about the whole thing.

Melody Pond was named after Melody Pond, and even if you didn’t like Mels, that shows what an important part of Amy and Rory’s life she was.

I…wait…

…you…

…are you watching the show?

Really…is it that hard to understand what happened there?

Seriously…

Your inability to understand what is only a slightly complex time travel plot astounds me, but then…
