I really, really loved that episode. Made me cry. But Doctor Who tends to do that.
Overwhelming? How much more than whelming would that be exactly?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
I need to see it again--there's bits of dialog here and there that I missed.
Did the episode end with Amy saying, "Where is she?"?

Art Crawl!!!

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love
Yeah, I really liked that one.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
It was a really well done episode. But I think when your boyfriend is The Centurion Who Waited, you let 36 years slide.

Well, rationally, sure, but after a while being rational about it probably gets hard.

He waited a REALLY long time. Like, I'd let him be late for everything for the rest of eternity, even considering time machine shenanigans. It's a lifetime+ pass.

Yeah, but it's easier to wait when you're plastic and immortal?

She wasn't mad at Rory. Some of her being mad at the Doctor sloshed onto him.
Maybe you are just a better person than Amy Pond.

And Rory did completely 100% volunteer to wait for her. Amy definitely didn't sign up for 36 years of abandonment and running for her life from robots killing her with kindness.
Tommyrot, that's where it ended for me as well, and it seemed so abrupt I wondered if BBC America cut it off early?
