What is with the nicknames of his current Companions? The Girl Who Waited, The Centaurion, The Twice Dead Girl. I really hope this isn't an on-going thing. It's fine, just it wears out quick.

Good idea with the reviews AkibaSilver, keeps this thread going. It would be interesting to see your points of view.

I don't have much to say about Rose as an episode, but it was a decent beginning, I guess. I didn't warm up to Rose as a companion until many episodes later.

It's a Moffat thing, and since he's been doing it since 2010, it basically already qualifies as an ongoing thing. I like it, though, I think it highlights the most memorable aspects of the various characters.

Much like that stupid VO opening, the nicknames can end now.

VO opening? What does VO stand for?

By the way, which era of Doctor Who did you like, Sentai?

Voice Over. I hated when Amy narrated the opening for a season, then I hate Amy Pond and her Whiney Boyfriend.

Tom Baker, My first Doctor.

I guess people have reasons to dislike Amy, but don't you dare diss on Rory! He's one of the best companions ever!

How does he whine? He's the strongest willed character on the show.

He couldn't have been more pussy-whipped if he was a cat being flogged.

You still failed to give examples. You're a better man than that, Sentai.

Come on, justify your accusation against Rory or stop talking nonsense. Others would use ruder language than I.

He's stated more than once he was afraid of Amelia. He was constantly fodder for villians, notably House. Beyond that there's the bachlor party. What better proof do you need than that whole episode. "I thought he was your brother." My examples are every episode they were in together.

He wasn't afraid of Amy. He has always stood his ground in their relationship, and this became much more apparent towards the end of Series 5 and throughout Series 6 and 7. Rather than afraid, Rory was jealous of Amy and the Doctor's relationship. Jealousy and fear aren't the same thing. And seriously, who wouldn't be suspicious if your fiancee ran off the night before your wedding with a strange man she admitted to kissing? Rory's self-restraint in the face of Amy's outrageous behavior is to be commended.

Also, how does being constant "fodder for villains" make him whiny? It has nothing to do with whininess.

Every single one of Rory's protests in the entire series was a legitimate protest, and he doesn't even protest that much. He has constantly shown that he was willing to give the benefit of the doubt to Amy and to his friends in general.
