random Amy Pond/newskool thought.
I'm not even sure how to articulate it, but there're probably spoilers through the end of s5, here.
It's incredibly annoying to know the... feel of what I want to write, but not have the words.
One of the things I see people talk about is Amy, and how the episode Amy's Choice is all about Amy choosing between two men, but I-- I never got that. It felt more like Amy needing to discover that she didn't have to choose at all, that either and everything were possible.
Of course, the episode also passed along the "Amy will die without Rory" bit, whether that's from co-dependence, love, or something else doesn't matter, in the end. It's there. And it was Amy's way of destroying one fairy tale world.
The other thing (I said I was feeling inarticulate), is that... I feel like the whole season was a fairy tale designed to show that you can have your adventures and your knight, and then... you can keep going on and having adventures. That limiting yourself to countryside and children is, well, not what you have to do (I'm not trying to say countryside and children are wrong choices are bad, but they're not for everyone).
That life itself is a choice, and if you choose one way or the other, it's up to you to make the adventure.
Which is why Rory had to get an adventuring spirit, so that he could move on with Amyand be Hex to her Ace, and learn to love adventure, too.
*reads back over* bah. This is why I don't meta when my brain isn't working.

I don't know whether you said what you meant to, but you said something that needs saying.

...yeah, suddenly showing up at Rory's bachelor party to confess that Amy kissed him seems perfectly in character, omg.
*koffs*
I need an Amy Pond icon.
Because the whole point, to me, was that Amy didn't want to choose, wouldn't choose, and that life without Rory and life without adventuring with the Doctor were both intolerable. So when she had a choice, she chose both. And if she couldn't have everything, then she'd have nothing, and that was just fine by her, because a life without Rory would only have been half-lived, even if she'd had the Doctor and the T.A.R.D.I.S. and adventuring. A life half-lived wasn't an option.
And then, later, at the end of the season, she had another choice: To remember the Doctor and go off with him again or to stay at home with Rory and her family. And she chose to remember the Doctor and go off with him, and Rory came too. So she could have it all. And now she has a whole lifetime of memories with her parents to add to that too.
I think the whole point of Amy's choices throughout the entire season was that she wanted it all. And what's so wrong with that? I just think it's awesome that she got it all.
(I'm not trying to say countryside and children are wrong choices are bad, but they're not for everyone).
It's hard to have adventures with kids, especially if you're lugging them around inside your body while running for your life. Far better to have them born already so you can pass them off between adults while running for your life. Just saying.
ETA: I really thought Amy's hair in Amy's Choice was adorable too. I just felt that bore noting as well.

THIS, all of it.

HAH. And not to cross-fandom it, but that's why I never had a problem with wacky Peacekeeper Baby Biology. =D
