Ponds and Parting

Talk of the Pond’s potential almost-divorce in the first episode of Series Seven has come up again. So I thought…while I obviously don’t like said spoiler, it is plausible, and here’s why…

Everything that can shake even the strongest of marriages…has happened to them. They lost a baby, under terrible circumstances. Amy is still (I assume) dealing with at least a little guilt over killing a woman in cold blood, and possibly feeling angry that the Doctor doesn’t drop by much/lied to her about his death. (Can I just drop to my knees and plead that this actually be addressed, next series?) Plus both have careers now- Amy is a model and Rory is a nurse- which probably means they don’t even see as much of each other as before.

Add all that together and it’s a recipe for disaster. But…some people really aren’t meant to be apart, no matter how bad and complicated things get, and I think the Ponds are some of those people. Unless of course it’s a dream, a vision, Dalek manipulation, a plot to foil something or other, GANGERS, TESSALECTAS…well, you know, considering the track record so far.

Also, there’ll be a fanfic about this later.
