A season in the Doctor Who universe is a long time, though

HAHAHA. Sorry, I had to laugh at that. It's just coz over here our seasons are like 20 episodes at the least. Doctor Who has about...13? Unless you mean how they were spaced out this year because, yeah, that did feel like a long time.

Well the little girls already have four badass female companions to aspire to (yes, they are all badass IMO). For guys it is just the Doctor and occasionally an underwritten male side character. What's wrong with just having one badass male companion who simply wants to travel with the Doctor and not just be there for the sake of his girlfriend? Also, c'mon, while Moffat is still around it means we'll always have River Song popping up in every other episode. So there'll hardly be no female characters left when she's become so important to the canon at this point.

LOL I mean within the context of the show/for the show. Seasons are short but spread far apart

Why can't there be a badass guy who is not a boyfriend and a badass woman with x/y/z plot? I have nothing against that. Jack was like that (except that he never had a full season). That's all I'm saying. Make a great male companion! But he doesn't need to be the only one.

River Song is... not really going to cut it for me in terms of good female representation, unfortunately.

THIS.

And though I sincerely wish it otherwise... also this.

TBH I was hoping s6 would be like that and Rory would get his own arc outside of Amy and Amy would develop more and everything would be beautiful and nothing would hurt!

Alas.

I agree.

I love Rory and I LOVE Rory's fierce love and devotion to his wife, but I was hoping for even just a teensy little arc for him. And a great arc for Amy.

But, as you said... Alas.

lol there's a macro on Tumblr somewhere that has all the companions and their titles like "DEFENDER OF THE EARTH" and "DEFENDER OF THE MULTIVERSE" or something and then poor Rory is "DEFENDER OF AMY POND".

I like Rory a lot but it would've been nice to give him an arc outside of Amy, just as it would be nice if Amy had an arc outside... being an incubator.

LOL OH RORY I LOVE YOU

Before S6 I loved the idea of a future for Amy and Rory after traveling with the Doctor where they had a couple of awesome little Pond-Babies.

Now?

Like becoming obsessed with the Doctor in her first episode to losing her absolute faith in him in "The God Complex" and living her own life, with a bit of saving the entire universe in the middle?

Oh no wait Moffat is very very bad therefore all of Amy's (and River's of course) achievements must be set at naught in the name of... strong female characters, apparently.

Amy's exit in God Complex would've been more powerful to me if it had been her choice, not the Doctor's -- and also if it had stuck, which it won't, because she's coming back in s7 to travel again and ultimately leave... again. You also get Karen Gillan saying that the Doctor leaving them restores Amy's faith in him, which I try to ignore because I think it defeats the whole point of the episode and I did find Amy's absolute blind and unfounded faith disturbing. Beyond that, they missed major opportunities to develop her emotionally by skimming over basically any and all responses to losing her baby.

I was exaggerating slightly, but overall no, I don't think s6 did nearly as much with Amy's character as it could've.
