Uh...I don't think the Doctor meant it literally. And I wasn't supporting it as like a genetic predisposition. I was defending it in a metaphorical sense.

HA HA HA HA LOL LET ME CONDESCEND TO YOU TOO

Would you like some tissues for your superiority jizz, my sweet?

Re: ayrt

Nah, that's my bad nonny, I didn't realize you thought it was metaphorical; if only! It seemed very much to me like they meant it literally.....probably as a backlash to all the fans who wanted a more "alien" Doctor back. Which explains the emo...but still doesn't justify it IMO.

I don't know, I don't think they ever would have used the word 'imprint' seriously, considered what a bad reputation it has in fiction.

Re: ayrt

[(Anonymous)]

Well, they didn't say it, but the whole "You were the first face this face ever saw" is pretty much the definition of imprinting, at least from a biological perspective...but I take it you've never had ducklings follow you around IRL, anon? Because that ups the level of hilarity of DW suggesting it, by several orders of magnitude, let me tell you. :-D

Oh, I know it is. I'm just saying there's no precedent, it was a throwaway line, and it seemed more in the mood of being charming and conveying that she was special to him. At the time he was alone and miserable, so meeting and helping Amy was very important to him. I think he was basically saying "You're unforgettable".

Re: ayrt

[(Anonymous)]

Which would be all well and good, except unfortunately, the character was anything but.

Amy might have been forgettable to us, but I can see why she'd be unforgettable to the Doctor. The Doctor is not the same as us. Do you think that because we hated Peri and Mel, the Doctor did? Do you think that because we didn't really love Susan, the Doctor didn't? So I don't see why that line doesn't make sense for him to say, even if we don't feel the same way towards Amy.

Besides, Amy's origin story and characterization WAS pretty memorable. She just didn't get any proper development.

...but I kind of liked Mel? (I know, I know.) I see your point, and it's not that the line doesn't make sense; it absolutely makes sense, within the context of the show.

It's just utterly ridiculous, and turns the show into little more than a cartoon, with some off-putting soap opera elements tacked onto it. ^shrug^ Just not my thing, sorry.

Re: ayrt

[(Anonymous)]

See, you keep stating that it makes the show a "soap opera" and "a cartoon", but...why? You don't give any reasons WHY. Can you give me a reason what's so soap opera-ish or cartoonish about the idea of a partially-formed personality that forms itself very fast being heavily shaped by its earliest new emotional connection? It seems more sci-fi-ish than anything to me.
