Some of it is in quote format and some of it is in text-post format. (It largely depended on what Tumblr felt like doing at the time.) This post may very well be updated with other episodes in the future…
“From your point of view. From mine, you’ll just turn to dust. Please don’t. Please don’t do that to me…Amy. My Amelia. The first face this face saw.”

“As Amy declared that the couple’s bond with each other would prevent the Angels taking Rory, the Doctor asked, ‘That’s all? True love- against the Angels?’ Amy looked at the Doctor, pityingly, and said, ‘You’re right, River. I shouldn’t have let him travel alone.’”

I’m still slightly puzzled about the ending of The Angels Take Manhattan…
How much did the Doctor tell Amelia? Did he tell her exactly how her story ended – “you’ll leave me to live with Rory in the past?” If so, was that why she was so sure the Weeping Angel would take her to the same place Rory was?
And if he really did tell her “you’ll fall in love with a man who’ll wait 2000 years for you”- did little Amelia think perhaps that that man was the Doctor? And that’s why she devoted herself so much to him, before discovering what Rory did for her? Is that the real reason for her whispered “Oh, Rory,” in the museum after seeing the Pandorica exhibit?
It’s confusing. How much did she know? And how does that change things throughout Series 5-7?
Even sent back to a time when life was harder, particularly for women, Amy Pond didn’t let it deter her. She continued to be a journalist- she wrote travel articles under the name Amelia Williams, not wanting to take her name away from her younger self. Then, as time went by, she began writing more hard-hitting stuff, standing up for causes she believed in and even at times risking her life (along with her husband) for the truth.
When she reached her eighties, Amy met a little girl visiting New York on a school trip. It was the girl’s first time abroad, so Amy befriended her and talked to her and gave her some journalism tips. Even as the years- many years- passed, Sarah Jane Smith never forgot her.
