But then she was... broken. Yeah… broken Amy. Thing is, I guess I'm more into realistic-ish psychological continuity than symbolism, which makes me a bit bothered with the treatment of that… I'm all good with feeling-repression, but brokenness always shows… in different ways, all right. But with Amy, I just feel like it gets switched on and off. At some times she really moves me, but others… I just can't feel for her properly. I wish we'd seen more of Eleventh Hour!Amy, the like that just closed her eyes tight as the TARDIS disappeared again after Prisoner Zero, the kind that said little things like "people always say that" or "people never come back". Or Amy at the times when she lost Rory, because really, Rory was basically always the steadiest, most reliable part of her life… And since she seemed to take him a bit for granted most of the time, those parts were like being shoved back into reality in the harshest way possible, and that hurt. (Maybe this also has to do with me liking emotion best when it's raw—the kind that just comes from deep within your gut and burns everything on the way out. I'm an angst girl at heart.) So yeah—I do like Amy, but she's not going to be my favourite ;) She has moments though. (Like that icon's moment ;)) /Amy rant done, sorry
The fact that he didn't sit around wallowing in this, but immediately started to fix things is one of the things that endears me to him. <3 Eleven saves the day! ;)
