The Women of Doctor Who Page #6

friend all her life

who then comes to life,

essentially.

That's the magic

of that show.

Amy's one of those great,

great characters

whereby she doesn't need

to be rescued

by the Doctor

all the time.

Amy Pond is nothing,

if not strong-willed

and willing to make

her own choices,

regardless of

what anyone else says.

She just states what

she wants and goes for it.

So when she wants to be

with the Doctor,

she hits on him.

She tries to get

the Doctor.

And not even in, like,

an "I love you, Doctor,

let's get married,"

just in a "come on,

I got one night left,

let's do it."

About who...

I want.

Oh, right, yeah.

No, still

not getting it.

Doctor, in a word,

in one, very simple word

even you

can understand --

No!

You're getting married

in the morning!

Well, the morning's

a long time away.

What are we going to

do about that?

Amy, listen to me --

i am 907 years old.

Do you understand

what that means?

It's been a while?

Yeah. No, no, no!

I'm 907, and look at me!

I don't get older,

I just change.

You get older,

I don't,

and this

can't ever work.

Oh! Aw, you are

sweet, Doctor,

but I really wasn't

suggesting anything

quite so...

long-term.

But you're human!

You're Amy!

You're getting married

in the morning!

In the morning.

Doctor?

She is getting married to one

of the sweetest, nicest guys

in the world the next day and

she's coming on to an alien.

That's not cool.

That's not cool at all.

I was very excited

about that scene,

just because why not

get a jump on the Doctor,

see what that's like,

before you get married?

Although the Doctor is

always very sexy,

you kind of never really

think of him that way,

so when Amy actually

jumped him,

I was like "this is

inappropriate, Amy.

"What are you doing?

It's the Doctor,"

you know?

Of course, the other half

of my brain was

extremely jealous.

In the modern era,

"Doctor Who" has been

an interesting show

for female characters.

I'm your daughter.

These people end up

solving things

and outsmarting

the Doctor

and helping the Doctor.

But I always took you

where you needed to go.

They have their

vulnerabilities.

I love you.

And, perhaps, it's because

of those vulnerabilities

that Doctor Who

can experience

human emotions

a bit more.

Oh, Donna Noble,

I am so sorry.

I think it's

a really good thing

this show has done

throughout time,

for female characters

on TV.
