Now obviously they've not left yet, and we still have one week of Amy+Rory, but it's been quite clear what this most recent episode has been doing, it's been setting us up for the events to soon take place in Manhatten. "The power of three..." And you'll forgive me if I go all weepy and Tennant-ish and, scream, scream at the top of my lungs, till my throat dissolves, I weep blood, and destroy the ears of bats, "I DONT WANT YOU TO GO!!!!!:(:(:eek::eek:
:
Now I've been on here long enough to not that not everyone are Amy/Rory fans. Some love Amy but hate Rory. Some are vice versa. Some hate both of them and cant wait till JLC comes along at Christmas. This is not a thread for you. Well, it is one for those who cant wait about JLC, I LOVED her in Asylum of the Daleks and I know, just like with new Doctors, that she'll be great. But I'm so sad to be seeing the end of Amy+Rory. Obviously I dont really know what JLC will be like, but so far, these 2, these TWO, their my favourite companions so far, thats in all the history of Who, classic and new (apart from, maybe, 1's first 4 companions, aand probably the Brigadier and the rest of U.N.I.T. who it was nice to get a little tribute to in the last episode, KATE STEWART!!!). Their just so great and, basically, this thread is an appreciation thread, for anyone who wants to to look back on their fave moments throughout the week until they leave. And sob. Shamelessly. Like a big girl.
I was always pretty meh about most other companions but Iust love these 2. They both so great together, as they are with 11 and River. I've already said in numerous threads before how 11/River/Amy/Rory are my dream team, love the episodes with all of them in, their the best. Their just both so different. Amy may have been quite similar to previous companions, and she is, but at the same time, she's funny, charming, scottish, HOT (And I mean really, sizzling), and she has such a beautiful history etc with all the girl who waited stuff. Timey wimey. And Rory, do I even need to justify why I love Rory. His down to earth-ness, his humour, his awkwardness, his slight rivalry-but-then-close friendship with the Doctor, the fact that, unlike other companions, he's not completely in awe at everything the Doctor does but, is actually, kind of an equal. Plus, his and Amy's love for each other etc which is just (also, I like how Amy didnt just fall in love with the Doc and abandon her boyfriend like Rose did, it was always quite clear she really loved Rory)....
But probably the main reason I love these 2 is cos I love 11, he's my favourite Doctor and while, by the same logic I might love JLC just as much beacuse, as I've said on the "defining companions" thread, they are the companions that have defined him, it's cos of them he's like he is, they were his first companions and, while I love change, I doubt he'll be the same without them

that broke my heart a little, I must day
I shall miss them a lot. Donna is probably my favourite post 2005 companion, but....these two have stuck around so long they almost feel like family in a way no other contemporary companions have.
Personally, I blame my dislike of Amy squarely at series five.
Her personality grated on me so much, I felt as if I wanted to chuck a brick at the TV screen whenever she was on.
It's a saving that Moffat etc has toned her down during series six and now seven as I don't think I would be watching Doctor Who now, if she was still the same as she was in series five.
There have been companions I have loved straight away, Rose being one of them. Yes, I know she gets a lot of stick with some posters here, but I liked her:D All down to personal taste.
That scene made me want to cry.
That's actually really quite interesting as series 5 was my favourite season! It had everything, a great Doctor, a great full-time companion, 2 great on-off companions, great stories, great effects, great music. I guess that series is what has actually made people love/hate 11 and/or Rory+Amy. Although that seems fairly obvious, if you love something in the 1st season it stands to reason you'll probably like it more later than if you hated it in the first season
It actually DID make me cry....:o
And it's scenes like that that continue to prove to me that Moffat's era of Who has plenty of emotional content and isn't as clinical/cold as some viewers seem to think it.
I love Amy and Rory to bits and The Power Of Three really highlighted that.
I feel that Moff, and specifically also Matt really reawakened the passion i have for the show and had rewatching some classics with my dad when i was little etc and i didnt feel it as much 2005 - 2009....but in 2010 WHAM!
So i have a strong feeling next week i will be in actual tears the very first time for a television show since Buffy The Vampire Slayers season 5 finale! (11 years ago crikey!) its just this connection of the past 3 years is about to be brought full circle and sent off in such a powerful final chapter...i truly cannot wait.
Moff brought Event TV back into the show in a big way i feel (not that RTD didnt of course but in a different level and style)
So yeah next week i will be in tears and not knowing whether to hide with the Angels everywhere or cry knowing Amy and Rory are going to leave permanently
Either way Bring it On!
Nobody has done it worse, except maybe Bonnie Langford
But she's great in the audios though:)
D.O.N.N.A
Donna!
Go Donna Go Donna!
But, credit to Amy and Rory. Next weeks episode will inevitably be emotional.

Probably not.
he he:D
Agreed i always loved DT and Rose and weeped when she left but.
Moffat ahs created a great team in the ponds someone who can be with him when he needs them and with them when they need him a proper family no unrequited love, love lost, or simply being mind swiped
I'll be sad to see them goes as the ponds have effectively spent their early adult lives with him and seemed as though he'd be with them until they grew old at Xmas past, restn and future so i'll be sad to see them leave as they have become more than companions but the glue that holds the fabric of 11 doc together.
Keeping with the same companions for 30+ episodes is just a bit too much, i really liked Amy in the beginning and Rory was great when he came along but I have always thought that once the River story had run it's course it was time for them all to go with River making cameo appearances for a while to come perhaps. The garden scene should have been their swan song with the surrounding story a bit more finalised and not so open.
Keeping them this long has made me bored of them, it's the same thing week-in week-out.
