a thought re. Amy in this week's episode

[such_heights]

So one thing I thought was interesting about Amy in tonight's episode was what her hallucinations suggested about her feelings re. Rory. Working on the assumption that House was able to pick up something of her psychology in order to create effective mindgames -- as suggested by fake!old!Rory referencing his time as a Centurion etc -- it says something that is really fitting and really sad.

For once, Amy isn't just afraid of being left, but of leaving someone else. She's afraid that Rory resents her after the superhuman thing he did for her, living through 2000 years to protect her. She's afraid that he could grow to hate her for putting him through that and for generally dragging him into this dangerous world, and she's afraid she's going to get him killed -- with good reason, considering the amount of deaths he's had already, heh.

OH, AMY. ALL OF THE HUGS FOR YOU. :(

I'm really hoping they deal with this--I think you're onto something and it's so sad but quite necessary for the characters.

This puts the 'everyone wants to be forgiven' moment into an interesting perspective.

And the way Amy agrees immediately, after the Doctor says that. Yes.
