Description
Curse you Steven Moffat for making me love that awkward stork-man against my will. I feel violated. But in a good way.

I actually liked Rory at the very beginning, but I was afraid that he would be a "tin dog".Β Β

Rory has died a total of 10 times so far in dw.
It's just kinda old now.

Preach. By the end of last season I stopped caring. Am I going to Hell?
I hope you are as excited about the new companion as I am.

Meh wish I could choose the companions though. Doctor seems to have a thing for redheads.
Things I wish I could do but probably never will;
1)be the doctor in DW
2)design a model for WH 40k
3)write a play
4)get a shark submarine
5)get beamed up by Scotty
6)fus to dah someone successfully
7)defy laws of physics
8)drive a forklift
9) make a 11th doctor/spider teddy
10)use all the functions on a Swiss Army knife
11)simply walk into mordor
12)paint red dwarf green (smeg!)
13)get a pet emu
14) get the doctors big scarf(cause I like scarves. )
15)get Ramirez to do nothing.
17) make the number sixteen turn into 17
17)sing to the ood.
18)make a dw poem.

I never really grew attached to these companions. Don't get me wrong, they were great! I even have the scene where Rory intimidated the cybermen play on loop as my screensaver. But.... I just couldn't grow attached to them. They had great sub plots, amazing characterizations, and were funny even. But Rory died every time. Every time I started to really like him he DIED. And Amy.... I don't know why I don't like her. Everything tells me I should like her. I guess it's just that she was too good of a character, if that's possible.
But, now for the reason I'm really posting here. We've come to the end of the cycle. Never again will we see Rory die, or Amy grieve, or the Doctor have that sort of mixed feelings face. So hats off to a great performance from our favorite Ponds.
May they move on to do great things.

Actually, I totally agree with everything you say. This newest rendition of the Doctor Who show is fun but doesn't engage me like before. They say you will always love your first Doctor and for me that was 9 and 10. And I loved all of their companions because they were wonderfully flawed and fun. Like you, I never grew attached to the Ponds. At least not *as* attached. Amy is smart, pretty, and sassy. Logically I should like her but because she spends so much time on the Doctor's pedestal I guess it put me off. And sometimes they both (Rory and Amy) have such a blasΓ© attitude about the wonderful/horrible situations that it kills the mood for me.
Until you mentioned it I never noticed how often Rory gets shafted just as I'm really starting to like him. Poor guy.
We're about to watch the last 2 episodes tonight and I can't wait to see how it ends. They aren't my favorite companions but it was still a fun ride. I too wish them all the best.
I wonder who/what the next companion(s) will be like. As with Rose, Jackie, Micky/Ricky, Martha, Donna, Wilfred and Rory we will probably be hesitant to like them at first, watch them get traumatized, and end up loving them as well.
Haha, who am I kidding? Old man Wilfred was lovable from the start! And then there was Captain Jack...
On an unrelated note: What's up with the lighting on the show? Seriously, it distracted me like crazy for a whole season.

They're trying to be really cinematic this season, and it's affecting their production. Something about each episode being its own blockbuster. Plus, two episodes were shot almost entirely inside tunnels/spacecrafts. The lighting on this last two is really good.

I suppose I can see that. It's just that the over abuse of the cool/warm claustrophobic lighting and camera shots took some getting used to. Either I've adapted or they eased up because I hardly noticed it this season. More than anything it was just me being grumpy and nit-picking.

In the beginning I thought Rory could do better than Amy. xD
its different now, of course.

Best male traveling companion since Harry Sullivan, possibly even since Jamie McCrimmon.

I can see this happening but I totally love dorky men.

Truth.
(Actually I got to like him by the time he fought a sword-wielding space vampire fish armed with a broom, but close enough.)

You're welcome! And I didn't know what Pinterest was either for a while... after so many of my friends signed up, I figured I'd try it out. It's pretty neat!

Oh, not about me ^^
Loved him from the beginning ^^

Yeah, I went throught that cycle too
He was so weird in the first episode...but I really took a liking to him and I think he's my favourite from S5 and 6 (well, along with the Doctor, I guess, maybe I like Rory sliiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiightly more

Lol! Poor Rory doesn't seem to get much love until the last episodes of each season it seems.

felling violated in a good way is good..especially where Rory Williams is concerned

He was Actually the 1st character i care about in season 5. i still like him more than amy![link]
π: 0 β©: 1
Agreed. Although with this season (6) I'm starting to lose enthusiasm for the show. 2000 years of free time and he didn't pick up *any* new skills? Really?
π: 0 β©: 0
This is exactly what I did! Now he's one of the reasons I keep watching....go Rory! One of my favourite companions now

Haha! I loved him from the beginning, but this is the perfect representation of what happened to most of my friends. Love it!

i loved him from the first time i saw him on screen. and then...he got epic. and i fell in uberlove. <333 honestly, i'm on a DW kick right now so I can't say for sure that this is objective. but. I think he might be my fave TV character of all time, Rory. :3 This comic is totally true though, my roommates are the poeple in your picture. hahaha

We're 2 episodes into season two and he's still adorable. I'm jealous that you were able to see his charm right away while I had to grow into it. He's such a stupid-face.

I think we all went through that cycle, and Moffat's been planning that from the start XDD

That's exactly how it went down. I'm pretty sure my friend and I had these EXACT conversations.
π: 0 β©: 0
Basically, this was EXACTLY MY REACTION to the entire series... I wanted him out of the way so Amy and the Doctor could get together. This is basically spot-on.

Heh, thanks. I was rooting for some Tardis romance too. But after living the Rory cycle I can't be happier about their dynamic. And now I can't wait to see him again. Xmas can't come fast enough!
