In "The Big Bang", near the end of the episode, when Amy brings the doctor back and Rory remarks "It's the Doctor ... how could we forget the Doctor?" Amy then walks up to the Tardis, and Rory turns round to a fellow guest and mutters something incoherently. I thought he said something about plastic, which makes me wonder ... if Rory and Amy forgot the Doctor, does that mean Rory is still an auton? And if he is still an auton duplicate, did he only just remember his non-humanity at the wedding when he remembered the Doctor? Or did the Doctor ceasing to exist mean that Rory had never died and was never replaced by the duplicate, thus the Rory in that scene is still human?

Whether he's human or plastic, I still don't know what he says to that guest in the wedding scene ... Futile Crush 15:29, July 11, 2010 (UTC)

  • He says "I was plastic. He was the stripper at my stag night." He is human, but has the memories of the Auton. The Thirteenth Doctor 15:52, July 11, 2010 (UTC)

The Doctor said Auton Rory was not just any Auton...Auton Rory was made from memory infected by the Crack in Amelia's room...if anything, then it's the Auton Rory that was Rory or has Rory's consciousness and not the other way around....and come on, did you really think Moffat would erase Auton Rory's memory/history after writing about the love that lasts over a thousand year...it would be quite pointless and horrible...




Rory: I will wait two thousand years for you Amy!


Doctor: Okay.


Rory waits for 2000 years and goes through A LOT OF extremely tragic stuff and ALMOST DIED. Doctor comes back 2000 years later.


Doctor: Oh, sorry Rory! Did I mention that the 2000 years of waiting is sort of meaningless once I have the timeline fixed...but don't worry, you'll forget about the waiting...I just pointlessly put you through 2000 years of suffering...



no wonder the Doctor said it will drive him insane...if that happened, Rory would probably be driven insane by the Doctor and killed him in the end...
