Re: Storylines that have always bugged you

River being Amy and Rory’s daughter. I thought that whole storyline was really traumatizing for everybody involved and just didn’t like it. The “See, you got to raise me after all” line that River says to Amy when she regenerates just made it worse because watching out for your best friend isn’t the same thing as raising your baby.

Yeah, the emotional side of things in that plot line felt skipped over or just ignored.

Although it has so many other problems, I thought that Once Upon a Time dealt with a similar issue in a much better way. Realizing that you've actually already become friends with your now-adult daughter doesn't remove the need to grieve for missing out on her childhood. And in OUaT, the reveal definitely has an impact on their current relationship, whereas I felt like the dynamics in Doctor Who just went back to normal.

I've never seen Once Upon a Time, but it does sound like they did better than Doctor Who.

I think the storyline in Doctor Who could've worked if they'd given it the emotional weight that it needed (especially after we found out that the reason Amy and Rory separated was because the people who'd kidnapped their daughter had also sterilized Amy), but they just didn't and it left an awful taste in my mouth.
