i love a duo that's just one brilliant, insane freak of a person and then just a guy who's having the worst time of his life.

Crazy btw how all of the eleventh doctors companions are people who are already dead to him. Amy and Rory have been dead for decades in New York by the time he ever meets them. Clara he watched die twice. Even River Song, not a companion but his own wife, he watched die before he ever knew her. Clara's right, they're all ghosts to him

The nurses having none of the Doctor's nonsense

Oh, is that who I am now? Well, it was never that far from the surface, mate.

The thing about Rory (besides being generally great) is, he’s a nurse. and literally the first scene we see of him he is having his — extremely real and serious and legitimate! — concerns brushed off by a doctor.

…so no wonder Rory is such a good counterbalance to Amy’s near-worship in his dynamic with the Doctor.

Not only is he inoculated by experience against any tendency to glorification, he’s also probably very used to calling doctors out and being disregarded… and still trying anyway, because integrity demands it, and staying around to do his part even when nobody will listen to him, and trying again next time.

He’s exceptionally qualified to be the companion who actually recognizes and honestly calls out the Doctor’s BS, and he does it, and have I mentioned that Rory is great?!?
