That made me cry too. Loved it.
Question: Will hiding in a cavern with stockpiled chocolate goods be any part of this plan?

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.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
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.

call me jacki; zuisa is an internet nick from ancient times =)
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?

I might be a better person than Amy Pond, but I'm not better than Rory, because I'd surely have gone "Honey? 2000 years? IJS."

Heh. I probably would, too. He really is a good guy.
I was much more confused by the time stream business and especially Future!Amy remembering not getting help from her Fiture!Amy than I usually am by timey-wimey shenangigans.
