ROOOOOOOORY
Things I want in life:
- A Rory
- Another Rory
Also, Amy/Karen’s hair. Which let’s be honest… totally steals the scene.

9 times Amy Ponds hair is the main focus when it shouldn’t be
#I don’t know why everyone was blaming Moffat for the confusing plot #people were just too distracted by Amy’s hair to make sense of it

I am convinced that the robot just really wanted to touch her hair.

So what are you gonna do?
#can you imagine if an army stole season 5 amy’s baby? can you even imagine what THIS amy would have done to the doctor after blowing up a flesh version of her in front of rory with no explanation and leaving her to wake up giving birth in an alien jail chamber #where is the moody sassy back talking lock-picking amelia jessica pond of season five what have you done with her moffat #do you think that when women get married they become mother hens with no other interest except their husbands and their entire personalities recede into the background while river and the poncho boys get to have all the fun and explosions DO YOU #still bitter
Ugh the notes on this. I didn’t write those tags as a criticism of Amy Pond. This is a criticism of Steven Moffat’s writing in s6, in which he took a strong female character down the most icky, unimaginative, predictable road in a show that should be NONE OF THOSE THINGS. I don’t hate Amy Pond. I love her and I loved a lot of her actions in this season. I just feel like she was pushed into the background and reduced to her body in the most lame, overdone trope for women in sci-fi: body horror. For a writer that receives so much praise for being unpredictable, many of us expected better from Moffat. At the very least, she should have had her moment of rage against the Doctor. I hope it’s coming next season.
Also, Amy never “treated Rory like dirt.” Does the internet really needs another post debunking that?
#NO ONE IS SAYING THAT HAVING A HUSBAND OR A CHILD AUTOMATICALLY DEVALUES A CHARACTER AND MAKES THEM WEAKER OR THAT THERE IS SOMETHING WRONG WITH CHARACTERS WHO FOLLOW MORE ‘TRADITIONAL’ FEMALE NARRATIVES (OR EVEN TO CRITICIZE AMY’S DEVELOPMENT THIS YEAR MEANS THEY MUST HATE AMY) THE ISSUE (AT LEAST FOR ME) IS AMY’S LACK OF AGENCY - AS IN WE’RE GETTING A WHOLE LOT OF UPSETTING THINGS BEING DONE TO HER WITHOUT HER CONSENT OR ANY REAL CHANCE OF FIGHTING BACK AND IN THE MEANTIME WE’RE SEEING A MORE PASSIVE AND DOCILE AMY POND #THIS IS WHAT’S PROBLEMATIC #YOU CANNOT TELL ME THAT AMY’S CHARACTER HASN’T REGRESSED AND BEEN WATERED DOWN TO FIT A PARTICULAR NARRATIVE ARC THAT DOESN’T GEL WITH PREVIOUS DEVELOPMENT RESET OR NOT #THE AMOUNT OF PEOPLE WHO DISLIKED AMY LAST YEAR BUT SUDDENLY LOVE HER THIS YEAR IS VERY TELLING AND IT DOESN’T SURPRISE ME IN THE SLIGHTEST #WHAT ALSO BUGS ME ABOUT THE TAG BACKLASH IS THIS AIR OF ‘OH THOSE CRAZY FEMINISTS ARE AT IT AGAIN’ AS IF OUR OPINIONS ARE SOMEHOW CRAZIER OR INVALID #GOD FORBID ANYONE FINDS LEGITIMATE ISSUES WITH THE WAY A CHARACTER THEY LOVE IS BEING WRITTEN
