When Amelia Pond met the Doctor, she was just a little girl. He told her to pack a bag and they'd go on an adventure. He left and she waited. When he came back, she was no longer a little girl, but she got her adventure. She fell in love with a man who became more important than the doctor of her childhood. And when it came time to choose between a life with one or the other, she chose Rory. That's the story I want to remember. That's what I want to take from the episode. Amelia Pond and Rory Williams. A man who would wait two thousand years on the slower path to make sure she was safe. A woman who would risk a blink in the darkness if it meant a chance of reunion.
So much of Doctor Who is goodbye, and though I wasn't Amy Pond's biggest fan at the outset, I'll definitely miss them both.
