How long did amy pond wait for the doctor

Amy became a skilled fighter and a toughened survivor with experience avoiding and battling the Handbots , using weapons scavenged from the facility to fight them off. She could capably overpower platoons of them with little trouble 36 years into her imprisonment. Amy was smart enough to reprogram the Interface to help her and create a sonic probe , an act that surprised and impressed the Doctor. She displayed a detailed knowledge of the facility's areas and had the Handbots schedule memorised so that she would know when it was safe to visit the entertainment areas.

Amy went so far as to reprogram a Handbot she named Rory which she saw as a pet and appeared to have taught it a few human behaviours. While originally starting out the same as the original Amy Pond , this version of Amy changed greatly over her thirty-six years trapped in the Two Streams Facility on Apalapucia.

Amy's experiences turned her bitter, particularly as the Eleventh Doctor and Rory had never rescued her. At one point, Amy stated that while she initially thought good of the Doctor, her long incarceration caused her to hate him. Amy saw her time trapped in Two Streams as equivalent to death, stating that while most people entered Two Streams to live, she entered it to die and called her life "hell. Because of her bleak outlook on life, she called her sonic device a " sonic probe " rather than a screwdriver because she "wasn't on a romp" like the Doctor and simply called the device what it was.

Despite initial resistance, this Amy's love for her husband Rory remained strong. Even after thirty-six years, Amy still deeply loved Rory and while initially cold to him Rory's near-deadly experience with a Handbot caused Amy to shed some tears, though she hid it quickly. Rory being with her caused Amy to laugh for the first time in thirty-six years and she reminisced with her younger self over memories Amy held fond even after thirty-six years away from Rory.

As such, when Amy agreed to help save her younger self, she did it for Rory's sake when pushed by the younger Amy to do so. In her final conversation with Rory and even her final moments, it was clear that to Amy, Rory remained the most important thing in her life. Amy told Rory that she was "giving her days" to Rory and her younger self so that Rory and the younger Amy could grow old together as she and Rory never could.

While Amy was at first cold and distant, her old personality began to emerge more and more as she spent time with Rory. Amy's sense of humour returned as did her adventurous spirit, with Amy telling her past self and Rory that she intended to resume travelling, albeit on her own, once she escaped.

At the end of her life, Amy told Rory that seeing Rory and her younger self together reminded her just how much she had loved travelling with him and the Doctor in the TARDIS , seeing the universe. While Amy originally insisted that her sonic device was a sonic probe due to her new personality, when her old personality started coming back she admitted that "its a screwdriver," having previously called it a probe to differentiate her device from the Doctor and his way of doing things. Amy possessed a heightened degree of self-preservation due to her decades-long struggle to survive in Two Streams.

When the Doctor and Rory enlisted Amy's help to rescue herself, she refused as it meant that she herself would be erased from existence, something she saw as death. Though it meant that she would never have spent thirty-six years in what she felt was Hell, Amy wasn't willing to "die" and be replaced by another Amy who had never went through what she had.

Even when she was convinced to help, Amy only did so on the condition that she come with the Doctor, Rory and her younger self. Despite this, Amy urged Rory to keep her locked out so that she couldn't do so and when faced with five Handbots, effectively surrendered rather than fighting in her last moments.

When the Doctor and Rory came to find her, she had vanished, leaving a device that was supposed to be permanently bonded to her on the floor. When Amy regained consciousness, she was strapped to a table.

The Silents told her she would "bring the silence". After she was rescued by Rory, the Doctor, and River, Amy informed the Doctor that she was not pregnant after all, and explained that she spoke to him first because she was worried that all of her travels would cause her baby to be born with a "time head" or other mutation, a concern the Doctor dismissed.

In the end, she would be essentially both, albeit under a modified name. Amy told her baby that she would never be alone; Melody's father was coming for them, he would never let them down, he looked young but had lived for hundreds of years, he had a name, but the people of Earth knew him better as "the Last Centurion".

On Brian's urging, the Doctor took his in-laws back as full-time companions, as travelling with him was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. While the Doctor read to her from the pulp paperback he had discovered in his coat pocket, Melody Malone: Private Detective in Old New York Town , they realised that it was about River and Rory on the night of 3 April and the narrator was in fact River.

Amy read in the novel that River and Rory were taken to the home of Julius Grayle a mobster and collector of early Qin Dynasty artefacts. Accordingly, she and the Doctor flew to China in BC, the first year of the dynasty, where they commissioned a vase to read "Yowza" in clerical script, to signal River to activate her vortex manipulator as "landing lights" to guide the TARDIS.

The Doctor realised that the Angels took over Manhattan and transported people into the past, trapping them in the Quay to feed off of their time energy.

She turned her back to the Angel and said good-bye as the Angel sent her away. River later sent a manuscript to Amy to publish. With the Doctor unable to approach New York at the risk of an even more catastrophic paradox, River asked Amy to write an afterword for the novel, as an open letter to the Doctor.

In it, she told him that she and Rory both loved him and asked him not to travel alone. She explained that she and Rory were happy and lived in relative comfort. At the end of the afterword, Amy made two final requests of the Doctor. The first was that he go back to the morning when he never came back for her, explain to her seven-year-old self that she would have to be patient and that it would be worth the wait. She asked him to tell her of the adventures they would share and that she would fall in love with a man who would wait two thousand years to keep her safe.

The second was that he should find a new companion because he should never be alone. Under her married name, Amelia Williams, Amy eventually wrote a multi-chapter children's book, Summer Falls. In , she and Rory adopted a son, Anthony. By this time she had written at least one other book in the Melody Malone series. WC : Rory's Story. She lived on the third floor of a building in the Upper West Side at the time she was interviewed by Chrissie Allen in , for the Brooklyn Fayre.

Amy revealed that she and Rory had just returned from a vacation to Florida and Washington , where they "watched" friends and family that were "having a rough time. But yes, I do go looking for her.

While facing the Weeping Angels alongside the Tenth Doctor in London in , an enraged Thirteenth Doctor told them that they had no idea just how much they had taken away from her, much to the confusion of her younger self.

A joke book that the Thirteenth Doctor and Yasmin Khan were trapped in contained jokes featuring constructs of both Amy and Rory. If there was one aspect of Rory's journey that got annoying, it was the writers' constant need to kill him off. Did you know that Rory died at least 10 times on the show? He was erased from existence and killed in a dream. He also drowned after being knocked overboard on a pirate ship, and was even forced to kill himself twice.

Fans didn't mind Rory's first death since it was crucial to the plot, but they got annoyed with the others since they weren't necessary. It just felt like the writers were running out of ideas for him.

Continuing with the lack of personal development, did anyone else notice that Amy Pond had so many different jobs? When fans first met her, she was a kissogram.

By season 6, she was a famous model and by season 7, she was a travel writer. All three careers were randomly wedged into the show. This leads to the next point: Where did Amy's family disappear to? The whole arc of season 5 saw them erased from Amy's memory, make an appearance at her wedding, and then disappear again.

It frustrated fans that they never learned anything else about her childhood. Another aspect of Rory's personality that frustrated fans was the lack of regard he had for his own life. Since he had gotten used to dying and then coming back to life, he started to believe that he was invincible.

As a result, he put a burden on the Doctor and Amy's shoulders to keep him alive. He also came up with a crazy idea to jump off the Winter Quay because he believed it was the only way he would survive.

It worked but he didn't know that it would for sure, which is why it was reckless of him to put that strain on his friends. One other way Amy's character got worse over time was that she was reduced to a typical damsel in distress. This was fine in the first few episodes since she was trying to find her footing. However, two years later, she was still helpless, getting kidnapped every episode and relying on her boys to come and get her.

It just made her look like a one-dimensional character.
