::Maybe. I actually enjoyed his performances in Cold Blood and Pandorica Opens as far as I can remember though. I guess the reason I disliked it in the last episode was that he put himself and the others in extra danger for seemingly less than necessary reasons. OK, it wouldnt be the first time a companion did that, and I understand its a common plot device. Anyway I will shut up now as others obviously enjoyed his part. But remember Rory is a guy capable of *guarding the Pandorica single handed for two thousand years*. Does this seem like the same Rory we see on the screen ?

:::I suppose that's the big question: is it "less than necessary"? If you're thinking in terms of companions like the Brig, Romana, Fitz, or Jack, then Rory's being foolhardy for no reason, because there's more important stuff going on that has to be organized and solved. But if you're thinking in terms of Jamie, Martha, or Sam, Rory's absolutely essential, because someone has to humanize and the conflict and ground it in reality. I think that's why Ian, Steven, Zoe, Ace, Fitz, Jack, late Mickey, Donna, and Amy are more interesting with Barbara, Vicki, Jamie, Benny, Compassion, Rose, Rose, Martha, and Rory around. (Is it a coincidence that Jamie and Rory are the only males on the second list? I'll have to think about that...) --[[Special:Contributions/12.249.226.210|12.249.226.210]] 20:44, May 25, 2011 (UTC) | |||
