First off, I have to admit that I'm not a fan of Amy - but that apart, I agree with practically everything else you've said!
I don't care that she wears short skirts, or that she's a kissogram - or perhaps I should say rather that I don't see those as important issues. KG has great legs, and any young woman is entitled to show off her assets. (Although I think her manner of dress is a bit impractical what with all the running and clambering over stuff that's involved!) Being a kissogram? What's surprised me is how many people have equated that with being a stripper, when it's nothing of the sort.
My problems with the character are do do with the fact that - IMO - she's whiny and needs to get over herself, and that I don't think she's been particularly well written or acted. And as far as S5 overall goes - again personally - the story arc is intriguing, but I'm missing the depth of characterisation that RTD was good at giving us.
At the end of the day a writer is a human being. Should that writer try to avoid "isms" in their work? Yes, absoutely, of course. Is that writer a robot? No - or at least I hope not.
(Oh, I wandered over from lj user="who_daily"> btw!)
