Like you said, she wasn't his to change. Which is why the Ponds' relationship should have been explored! Even if fans are analysing every tiny family moment and claiming 'Of course Amy and Rory love their daughter' it is not that evident. Trouble is Moffat laid the foundations for some pretty difficult and complex interactions between the Ponds. And there wasn't time to explore it... Thank Heaven for fic writers! And I want someone to hug River now.
that's so cruel and so utterly right. Sometimes I feel I should walk around with a sign on my forehead reading 'Beware of the cynic. The probability for me to say something upsetting is 0.9' As much as the Doctor wants to be a good man and to bring out the best in those he meets, he is a hazard; because he attracts people with such force and forgets that, when they enter his atmosphere, they ignite and eventualy crash. Fortunately, he realises it before they do and changes his orbit -sorry for the pseudo-scientific comparison. That is what the God Complex is about. In a way he thinks he deserves this much love and devotion, akin to that accorded to a God. Except he is not and Moffat has been trying hard for the past seasons to unstich the Lonely God trope.
Do you mind if I add you to my friends? I would really like to follow your writings and you seem to think a lot about meta, which is always exciting.
