Doctor Who -Talk Up! (General Discussion)

[B Samurai]

So what is everyone's opinion on Rory?

I'm not really a fan of him, but I do think he's perfect for Amy.

 

[scikaiju]

I like Rory myself, he's pretty down to Earth, and has enough of a backbone, well now any way, to make sure Amy doesn't get too lost in the adventure. Granted it's an uphill battle, let's face it it's Amy lol

 

[Tom Constantine]

He's a better male assistant than we've had for quite a long while and better than one of the females.

More specifically

Series 6 part 1

7 episodes starting from Easter. Presumably Amy and Rory's arc


Series 6 part 2

6 episode in Autumn. River song's arc.

No, he said SPECIFICLY they were series 6 and 7, look up the interview where he confirm this.

Series 6 part 1

7 episodes for the first half starting in Easter culminating in a climatic game changer for Amy and Rory.

Mid season finale

Series 6 part 2

Recuperated from the summer finale, time to see the conclusion!

So the new rotation is

Repeat.


Everyone satisfied? Hooray no more 9 month waits.
