In Amy and Clara’s first trips with the Doctor in ‘The Beast Below’ and ‘The Rings of Akhaten’ they both encounter a young child in distress. Amy’s reaction is “So?” as if a child crying alone is the norm for her and therefore not a big deal, while Clara’s first instinct is to ask if the child if she is okay and then go out of her way to make sure she’s safe.
So please, tell me again how interchangeable these two characters are
I know this isn’t the point of the post, but it’s so sad to think that for Amy, a little girl crying alone is the norm. :(
