Bye bye Ponds – Tonight, it is the end of an era.
And so the moment has arrived. Tonight it’s time to get your tissues at the ready, as we bid farewell to the Doctor’s best friends. Are you ready to say goodbye?
Amy and Rory’s exit was announced last December and as always, time has flown meaning we are now just a few mere hours away from their final moments. As The Angels Take Manhattan, the Ponds’ find themselves in a desperate race against time through the streets of New York City, and an old friend returns when statues come to life all around them.
There’s naturally been a TARDIS load of speculation surrounding the Ponds’ exit story, and soon we’ll be given the answers, and we’re sure there will be plenty of shocks and surprises too! Tune in for the momentous occasion on BBC One at 7:20pm, and we’ll be discussing all the heartbreak from 8:05pm – something tells us there will be lots to say!

It’s strange. Almost six hours to go and although I’m looking forward to the episode and hope it’ll be good, I still don’t really feel anything about Amy and Rory leaving.
I don’t think I feel the same way as I did with Rose, Martha or Donna and perhaps that has to do with what I’ve said before about things Amy did that offended me, perhaps that they’re the 11th Doctor’s Companions and I still haven’t fully connected with him, and/or the fact that Rose, Martha and Donna all left at the end of the Series, which was always a big story.
This episode will probably be big too, especially if the Statue of Liberty is somehow involved, but I still know that it’s only the end of half a series.
I guess tonight, when everyone says how upset they were at Rory and Amy leaving, I may be the only one that wasn’t. Away from that though, I’m looking forward to the episode itself and the Weeping Angels returning to their core nature, no more neck snapping.
I guess I can only wait and see.
I’m scared and excited. Amy is not favourite companion, but I will still be really sad if she and/or Rory dies, because they mean so much to the Doctor. At least more sad than when Rose left, because I never liked her much, to be perfectly honest.
What I’m most excited about is seeing the Weeping Angels again and I hope Moffat has managed to bring them back to the Blink level of scariness. It certainly seems like it from the teaser trailers, and that makes me happy.
I am so sadden by this. Last night it just hit me that tonight would be the last episode to feature Amelia and Rory as regular companions. At least they are going out with the weeping Angels and River will be there. I just wanted to say thanks to Doctor Who for giving us another great companion Amelia Jessica Pond and for inspiring me with such a beautiful name for my daughter!
I agree with JC in that I dont feel particularly sad or excited about tonight’s episode. I feel like their time has come, the show regularly needs fresh blood so it’ll be lovely to see Jenna step in as I loved her Oswin in AotD. I am looking forward to seeing the return of The Weeping Angels and see them turn back to the frightening monsters they were in Blink and not the neck braking aliens in series five. As for Rory and Amy, I’d like to say I’m going to miss them but I dont feel anything either way! Hopefully next time Moffat will create a loveable character in Oswin/Clara and I will be feeling extremely sad when Jenna decides to move on!
I’m on tenterhooks. And I know that at some point this evening I’ll probably be crying. I have loved the current incarnation of Team Tardis and I shall seriously miss the Ponds. But I can’t think of a better finale for them than with River Song and the Weeping Angels. I just hope that their finale is a really cracker and they both get the happy ending they deserve.
Wow
A lot better than last week and a great story to leave the ponds on.
I wished they showed more of the christmas story
I cried.. Alot. Farewell Ponds. :)
I cried as well! It was amazing! They will be greatly missed here!
