Doctor Who - Discussion Thread II

it could still be psychological, like "after whatever they did to me at demons run, I couldn't handle being pregnant again"

I love Karen and Arthur but I think...



The spoiler is just discussing how Rory and Amy might leave

I'm not sure - if Moffatt's comments mean what I think they mean, I'd rather she didn't come back.

I wouldn't say the happily ever after is used much in New Who when you look at the way the companions have gone so far.

I know what you mean. I will miss her though. Although the new one (who I thought would never be able to replace her) seems to have grown on me, and I've seen her in 1 episode and not as the companion! Big boots to fill though.

If it was psychological, do you not think she would go see a therapist or someone who could help her get through the problem rather than just give Rory up?
She seems to really love him, i'm sure they would have tried any way possible to overcome the psychological issue... if that makes sense

But then again, who's to say they didn't try all that. I think it was just all rushed and they left a lot of information out

Me too, especially Rory. I thought he was great! And very funny. But your right, Jenna did well in the first episode and I think she'll do well as a companion. You have all that to look forward too and Amy has stayed longer than any other companion (I think )

I dunno it being kidnapped for the duration of your pregnancy then having your baby taken from you and forced to kill your best friend is a pretty big thing to try and get over. especially since any therapist she talked to would probably just think she was crazy. but yeah they could of tried all that and it didn't work since they didn't really tell us anything it was blurted out in like 2 minutes.

I do agree that its more likely that its physical just throwing it out there that psychological is still a possibility.

Rory.
Jenna did very well.
:O Has she?! I will have to get the episodes on DVD, I will miss her and Rory too much!

Yes Doc, I was kidnapped to an alien spaceship by a creepy woman and a species of beings that are right here, right now but as soon as you look away from them, you forget them. Then in this grand battle with monsters and friends, it turned out after my husband had rescued my baby, it was actually like an earlier version of me....a flesh avatar, it burst into goo and then I never saw it again as a baby. It does turn out she in fact was my best friend Mels in school and grows up to be a woman named River Song who is going to marry the Doctor, a time-travelling alien.

Not too sure how a psychiatrist might react to that to be fair.

I think so Rose was in it for 2 series, Martha and Donna were only there for one, and Amy will have been in it for 2 and a half

Yeah, me too, but oh well. At least Matt's not leaving yet

How sad.
Although I suppose it will be unexpected and not like the usual 'and they all lived happily ever after'. I hope Karen does a special return at some point in the future though, I will miss her... and Arthur of course!

Karen has said



Nothing too spoilery, just a quote from Karen but I tagged it just in case.

Don't say YET. ):
I'll cry when he leaves.
I thought nobody could replace David Tennant, and to an extent, nobody can, but Matt has created a new Doctor who I love probably equally. It will be seriously difficult for anybody else to replace them both. Chris Eccleston wasn't my cup of tea. Maybe it was due to his short appearance as the Doctor.

I'd imagine the likes of Torchwood and UNIT would have a few psychiatrists knocking around though - they'd find that a bit less weird.

very true, have either of those things ever been mentioned in an episode with amy? does she know they exist to do looking for them?

although like I said I do agree with it being more likely to be physical just don't want to rush to completely rule things out! That being said I wouldn't be surprised if it was never even mentioned again since they only have 4 more episodes anyway.

Me too, especially Rory. I thought he was great! And very funny. But your right, Jenna did well in the first episode and I think she'll do well as a companion. You have all that to look forward too and Amy has stayed longer than any other companion (I think )

I think Sarah Jane was the Doctor's longest companion. RIP.
