Yeah! I was wondering, too... Of course, it's all turned out to be much more ingenious than that Dare I say it... The actual events were BETTER than the ones I predicted. Maybe a little bit.

Yeah! What does she mean, they're all fairytales? I MUST KNOW Almost MORE intriguingly, I've seen other people talking about the fact that when the Doctor comes back to talk to Amy after walking away, he's wearing a jacket - meaning it's probably a Doctor from the future! Blimey

If it helps, I don't think this trend is as bad as it may seem on first sight. He solved the first big problem - he worked out that Amy was remembering, not just dreaming, all Amy did get a few people out of a building and then remember what he told her to (and if she hadn't been there/existed/whatever then I don't think that particular problem would've happened in the first place) and then I'm pretty sure it was the Doctor who scared the Atraxi into the distance.

In the Beast Below she blatantly saved the day but hey - once is okay by me, and it was way better than the useless, screaming bondage toys that most of the older Who female companions tended to end up as. In Victory of the Daleks, again, she played a part but she didn't do anything I've never seen a companion do before. Paisley boy did all the actual work, and it was the Doctor who set the last plan in motion to stop something a'spolding - Amy only came up with the idea of 'use love' because he had the idea of using 'pain' and it failed. And... well nothing's been saved yet in the most recent two parter, so I can't judge on that.

We still have seven or eight episodes to go and frankly, I'd rather Amy spent those episodes being useful than standing around needing to be rescued. So long as she doesn't go saving the day too often because as you say, the hero of the story is meant to be the Doctor...

Oh, um... sorry I actually only came in here to say yeah, this comic, it is funny as heck and I heart you

Oh no, I completely agree! Joking about ol' Laser-eyes aside ( )I actually hadn't noticed the "Amy saves the day" trend until other people pointed it out to me, and I'm not especially fussed by it I don't think it's that much of an issue either, myself. The Doctor has always relied on his companions to at least HELP in saving the day, if not save it completely (Ace blows stuff up with amazing frequency, and Donna and Martha have clearly been the key heroines in their respective series finales ).

Definitely, Amy on her own would not have solved anything ^__^ And it's always good to see a companion awesome-ing herself up right from the beginning! (The later-series' Sarah-Jane is springing to mind as the opposite I loved the DEATHLY GENTLE SLOPE she fell down in 'The Five Doctors').

Hahaha, don't worry about it, it's huge fun to have Doctor Who discussions! And thanks very much

THE GENTLE SLOPE OF DOOOOM

All I'm saying is, we need another companion who blows a lot of stuff up... Or Ace again, either way :3

The episode I've just seen helped with the "Doctor actually being the hero" I think - she didn't save the day, and I was a bit worried about her going Canon Sueish.... which clearly isn't going to happen now (some people seem to think the last scene and her intent in the last scene has ruined her character but... I don't get that. An interest in one night stands hasn't ruined Jack after all.)

I'm really not used to big fandoms, to be hoenst. I'm the type who usually gets into small town shows that last, like... one season and which eveyrone bar three people forget about within a year, so when I started really investing in Whodom it... kind of blew me away a bit

Yesss! Well, in her defence, it WAS at almost a 45-degree angle. Anyone would struggle with a hill like that, even experienced climbers, I'm sure

Yeah, Ace blowing stuff up was awesome! Though if Amy tried, she might lose some eyebrows...

I wasn't too worried about her becoming a Mary-Sue - when hanging out with the Doctor, everyone's bound to end up in a situation where they're left basically useless at some stage... Considering all the nastiness she was going through, she handled it pretty well... Poor Amy.

Hahaha I have mixed feelings about the last scene! I don't think it's ruined her character because that's what her character always was (I mean, in the first episode she's dressed in her kissogram uniform and watches the Doctor get changed), but I am hesitant about Doctor Who romance... Rose x Doctor and Martha x Doctor both ended up being a bit too clingy and such for me As long as both Amy and the Doctor stay confident and capable of independence, though, it might be all right

Haha Yeah, Doctor Who was the first fandom I got properly involved in, finding Internet fan groups and the like And I've only recently got into the 35+ years of Whodom there was before 2005 - there's a lot of it! But I think the complexity definitely makes it better, there's a lot of history and depth to the characters and everything

Oh, yeah, I've taken on those steep babies, nearly did my ankle in one time, you know

I think most people lost eyebrows whenever Ace was around. She was awesome.

This is true, Amy did the best she could and I don't think they compromised on her too much.

Yeah I have mixed feelings too but really, I've always personally placed more value on platonic love than strictly physical, so I was never too crazy about Doctor-Companion ships because I didn't find them necessary. To see what is clearly a close friendship between them being complicated by this isn't my favourite thing in the world, but I'm not outraged or anything. And you're right - Amy DID always have that streak to herself, and I think maybe a lot of us forgot about that while she was being all sweet and forehead-rubbable I think Amy has MORE depth now, not less.

I think the Doctor had a bit of an 'oh my god, Amelia, definitely NOT the seven year old I met twelve years ago then'. I don't think he'd realized until that point how much she'd grown up (but he sees then how much further she still has to go).

It does It also makes things... complicated, I'm not used to fandoms where people have totally different opinions about exactly the same things (out of curiosity, you a british fan, or American or...?)

Whoa. That's hardcore, man.

Ah, Ace. I miss you and your Nitro-9. I wish I'd been alive when you were a companion Sophie Aldred did go on to be a kid's TV presenter who shaped my childhood, though!

Yeah, I definitely prefer emotional relatonships, and especially platonic ones... Donna and the Doctor has to be my favourite companion/Doctor duo of 10's era I'm hoping Amy's panicking about the wedding and is flinging herself at the nearest bystander, and will sort herself out in the next episode Otherwise, perfectly innocent and friendly hugs and forehead-rubbability will be no more If they want to fall in love, I'd like at least like it to slow down by a few seasons, please, Mr Moffat!

Hahaha, yesss He was totally unprepared for all of that, and didn't know what to do with himself... Rumour has it that Jack will be joining Amy and 11 next season as a full-time companion (rumour only, though...), so it could get much worse for him!

Yeah, I've heard people say the Doctor Who fandom is one of the most critical and argumentative ones out there! There are also loads of pairings. Loads and loads. Loaaads. Most of which I disagree with, but that's just me I think 7 x Ace is the one that unsettles me the most That's just not right.

I'm British, yup! Since you've seen the episode already, I assume you are too...? Having just checked your DA profile, I see that you are Huzzah for that, wot!

I know. The guy who went with me still has nightmares about it

I hear that Jo (ooh forgot her surname, but she was quite early, like Three's Companion) is supposed to be appearing on the Sarahg Jane Adventures eventually... So why can't we have Ace, then?

Doctor and Donna are my favorite as well (though Martha and the Doctor make me sad because there was a lot of potential in that one which mostly got wasted on pining and being generally moody.) I'm absolutely sure that this is what's happening to Amy - she's scared stiff of getting married (many people are) because marriage = growing up and taking responsibility, and then the Doctor shows up, this strong connection to her childhood, and she knows she can interact with him as an adult now, but is still, innately, an immature girl who WANTS that childhood connection. It's just that she now sees him for a slightly more adult perspective.

And yes, Moff please slow down, even Rose took a good twp\seasons to kick in

The debate is part of the fun, though I don't thinkt'd be the same if we didn't argue, and we're also lucky to have a show that is just so opopular that we get to keep it even when it screws up

Jo... Grant? Or is that someone from Eastenders? Haha But I think, if the Doctor Who comics are treated as canon, then Ace is actually dead She blew herself up, in fact as an act of self-sacrifice.

Yes, the pining spoiled a perfectly good friendship, I thought Also, good Amy-theory! I agree I mean, she hasn't shown deep romantic feelings for the Doctor before. I thought even the hug at the end of 'The Beast Below' was just cute and friendly Perhaps this is just a BIT of romance and it'll fade back out again in coming episodes...? Though it's not the worst kind of love there could've been. She's totally unashamed and not shy at all

Totally If everyone agreed, it'd all be less fun, I reckon. And yes, agreed again

I think that's the one :LXD: Well her name is Jo either way. She's one of the rather early companions, I believe... And I'm not convicned the comics are canon... or maybe they're considered canon until the show disproves them... or something.

Yeah, I mean, for all we know this is still just her cold feet and a hero-worship-crush talking. She's already aware that she doesn't want anything "long term" out of this, I hoenstly think she's still just very., very freaked out by everything, and is dealing with it via a method she can understand. I really think she's just not thinking things through right now (and aftert the day she's had who can blame her for being a bit on the jumpy side?)

Oh, yeah, I forgot about Shakespeare! And I think we also created Lucky Charms... Though we don't have those anymore

Yeah, I wasn't sure that they are... Either way, an Ace cameo would be excellent at some point She's probably a very respectable woman by now, and would love to hang out with the Doctor and explode things again for a little while

I re-watched it and I agree - she's not taking anything too seriously, and you're right, she said she wasn't looking for anything "long-term" As far as I can tell, things don't look awkward next episode, which is definitely good

Did we?! I assumed those were always American!

ScarabDynasty1 In reply to Choopy-choo [2010-05-04 20:09:55 +0000 UTC]

It is my personal belief that she had a sort-of not really cameo in the first ever new series episode - remember the explosive the Doctor used to stop the Autons? All I could think was "Damn, Ace SO left that in the TARDIS...)

Yeah, I reckon she's got a weird bit of logic going on here: she's terrified of marriage because marriage = commitment and responsibility, and deep down, she probably still wants to be that little girl with dreams of traveling with her raggedy doctor. So she's thinking "sleep with your childhood idol, and you can officially stop BEING a child and grow up." ...Or something XD

Oho, true that! I know, if she is canonically dead, she'd want her memory to be honoured with huge explosions and property damage. In fact, it's probably the way she wanted to go, too Unfortunately I only got into Classic Who in December, so I didn't know about Ace in 2005 D:

Yeah, true... She's not ready for marriage, and as you basically said, this thing with the Doctor is her effort at a last escape She should probably call it off It's not fair on Rory, and she won't be too happy... Apparently Mr Moffat wanted to explicitly kill any chances of actual romance with Amy and 11, and this scene was his way of doing so - neither is taking the other romantically seriously

Great Scott! Well, that's rather a grand relief... Certainly, I shall fetch the scones!

ScarabDynasty1 In reply to Choopy-choo [2010-05-04 22:41:27 +0000 UTC]

I still don't want her to be dead... but if it means property damage then sure, anything to keep her spirit happy

No, I don't think it's a last attempt at an ESCAPE, so much as a last desperate attempt at getting rid of whatever baggage is holding her back. I reckon that she thinks that by having sex with the Doctor she can absolve herself of her childhood connection to him, (like she says, she's not thinking of anything "long term", and when the marriage is mentioned, she says "tomorrow is a long time away", not that it's never going to HAPPEN). She's probably thinking that'll leave her free and less afraid of marrying. It's not going to work, I don't think, but that could still be her logic...

Do not forget the jam!

Choopy-choo In reply to ScarabDynasty1 [2010-05-05 11:35:47 +0000 UTC]

Haha Me neither - seems weird for a character as lively as Ace to be potentially dead... Although, considering how many companions there have been, and how much danger they're always in, a surprisingly low number of them have ever actually been killed (Cap'n Jack might sort out the average a bit, but I don't know if that counts )

Ah right! Hmm. She probably is just trying to be rid of baggage and the like, but even though she wasn't planning a long-term romantic relationship with the Doctor, I'm not sure she's ready for a wedding either... Though I don't really know to be honest She's finally hanging out with her now not-so-raggedy Doctor, but if she marries Rory, she'd probably be expected to come back to Earth and leave her adventuring behind. In that sense, Iunno if she's ready to get married yet, or at all "Amy's Choice" might enlighten us a bit more, based on what I've heard about it
