Comments on: Amy a “completely different person” in Series 6

Amy WAS wooden through most of S5: a pre-packed ready-to-go companion-in-a-box with little character development (though Amy’s Choice and Vincent were exceptions). No question in my mind that’s WHY she’s getting a makeover in S6.

But Rose was ten times the companion, and that won’t be improved on very much. Every Nu-Who companion has just been emulating Rose one way or another. If they develop Amy it will only be to make her less of the selfish cow that she’s been and more like the self-sacrificing world-saving heroine that Rose was, whose devotion to the Doctor wasn’t her weakness but her strength. Why do showrunners weary us with this endlessly predictable gone-tomorrow companion replacement lark? They already had the best and let her slip away. Twice!

As for Amy being River Song… River is a past love known to the Tenth and one other Doctor. So say Moffat and Murray Gold. I wonder who that could be…? It certainly rules Amy right out of the running.

I like River Song myself, but alas…I only believe her to be River Song and not a future EVERYBODY else.

How come we never did this for Star Trek?

Wesley is really Commander Riker and Geordi is really Tuvok from the future…..Etc. Etc. Etc.

Or, off course, Amy is just another companion in another long line of companions. What is this crazy obsession with River Song?

Yeah, Amy is River Song and my big toe the the Cyber King.
She can’t be River Song as Amy and River Song have touched each other (Not in that way…) and you can’t touch future/past selves. Amy did during the big bang, but the world was ending anyway so little paradoxes wouldn’t matter.

@Darren Adams
No no no. River Song is the Rani. Or Romana. I mean Tom Baker and Lalla Ward were married. Therefore the Doctor and River are a couple… right?

heheh

Wait, I thought Rose was River Song! And Donna was the Rani, and Jack was Martha, and The Face of Boe was…….

Or, just hear me out, maye Amy is…….AMY! And River Song is…….River Song!

Seriously, why do so many people INSIST on these multi-personna ideas?

Amy Pond is River Song? Yeah, yeah. Did I mention Harriet Jones is the Supreme Dalek?
