Doctor Who Vid: When I Was A Boy [Amy, Amy/Rory]

[beccatoria]

I originally planned to post this today in order to get it out there ahead of the new series premiere, but it feels wrong and conspicuous to do so, now, without mentioning Elisabeth Sladen. This is not a vid about Sarah Jane, but it is a vid about a show that would have been much lesser without Elisabeth Sladen. The universe, both fictional and real, is a worse place without her in it.

\o/ Thank you! :D

And hooray for selling you on Amy and Rory. For what it's worth (and I think we may already have spoken about this), I definitely wasn't always on board with caring about him/them. Earlier on in the season, I didn't dislike Rory but I had some issues with the way he/his relationship with Amy was presented. That's something I actually try to address in the vid in terms of his earlier role as one of the people who expect Amy to conform, who want things from her. But, like the shift in the end of the song, the final episode really sold me on him/him changing too and the romance working between them on a much more equitable level. I'm really glad if I managed to convey any of that to you!

that's exactly what i got out of the vid! at first i felt my attitude toward rory confirmed--that he's one of the people who's holding amy back. but then there was this shift and i thought, huh, maybe he isn't. so, yeah, that totally worked for me!
