Oh god thank you. Yet again I was out of step with most of Who fandom I see on LJ, because they all adore Rory, but I think he's just... awful.
And I *hate* the Rory/Amy relationship with a passion. We've been sold it as this big OTP burning love forever and ever thing, and they have just... zero chemistry together. In fact Amy looked like she was about to gnaw off her own arm every time Rory mentioned that they were engaged.
And I hate how she's settled for this guy who is 'good-enough', who wants her to change.
I just... I do not understand why he is so popular. He's everyman, he's the guy you settle for when you don't think you'll get anybody else. And it really worries me that Amy might wind up with him as some sort of indicator that hey look, every woman really just wants to settle down and have babies.
