Goodbye Amelia Pond and Rory Williams (Top Moments of the Doctor Part 15)

71. "I love you more" from Asylum of the Daleks




This is a very emotional scene towards the end of Asylum of the Daleks where Amy and Rory fight over who loves the other more. It is actually a pretty sad scene as they had broken up between Series 6 and 7. Rory believes that since he did not want the relationship over that he has always loved Amy more but as these scenes show, they have both loved each other a lot. I am very sorry for the backing track taking away from the emotion but it was the best I could find that had the scene (well the only one I could find). It turned out that Amy only broke up with Rory as she could no longer have children after what Kovarian did to her at Demon's Run.

72. "Run, you clever boy!" from Asylum of the Daleks




This is the first episode where Whovians got a taste of what the new companion was going to be like. Of course, at this point she was still a mystery as in here she is a Dalek. Throughout the whole episode, she has helped the Doctor, Amy and Rory survive the Dalek Asylum and escape unscathed. This emotional scene is Oswin discovering that she is a Dalek but with a strong human mind that did not want to let go. It was a great show of how strong a character she is to be able to fight against her Dalek instincts so that the Doctor could survive. It is only at the end of Season 7 that we learn the significance of "Run, you clever boy. And remember..."

73. The Doctor is Bored in The Power of Three




This is a funny part of the episode where we see a Doctor staying in a place for an extended period of time when he rarely stayed in a place like that without doing something. It is funny when he is bored. Rory's line at the start of this scene should also not be forgotten.

74. "Together or Not At All" from The Angels Take Manhattan




Amy and Rory's final episode did not disappoint. This scene was such an emotional one where Amy and Rory are trying to escape from the Weeping Angels together. In the end, Rory wants to kill the angels by creating a paradox. By killing himself he is preventing himself from ever growing old in that building and creating a paradox which could kill the angels. It is very emotional to see just how much Amy loves Rory in that she would rather jump off and kill herself with him than have to go through seeing him die. Amy and Rory really are the best for each other. It is also sad to see the Doctor see the person whom he imprinted on from being the first face that regeneration ever saw. It would also be horrible for River, their daughter, to have to live through it and watch her parents be taken from her again.

75. Goodbye Amelia Pond and Rory Williams in The Angels Take Manhattan




Can we just pause a minute and reflect on how great this fan-made tribute video is? It is so spot on and emotional. A lot have some really bad music but this is just great (the music is from the Series 2 Soundtrack Doomsday [name of song not soundtrack]). Just when Amy and Rory think they are safe, Rory is taken by a Weeping Angel and sent back in time. Meanwhile, Amy had to watch it happen and then decides she is going to go with him and intentionally touches the Angel's hand to be sent back in time. The full scene is very emotional but I could not find it on YouTube by itself.

76. Afterword by Amelia Williams from The Angels Take Manhattan




This is the sad scene from the end of The Angels Take Manhattan straight after Amy and Rory are taken by the Weeping Angel back in time. River who writes the book that leads the Doctor to finding her has Amy write an afterword to the Doctor for him to read. The Doctor then runs back to Central Park where he had ripped out the last page of the book as he did not like endings. It is Amy's final farewell to the Doctor and it is pretty emotional. There was also a Rory version that was never shot that was sent to Rory's father. I will embed the video below but here is the link to that one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XWU6XL9xI4k. It is official as it was on the BBC website so it is not made up. I am giving the link as sometimes videos posted by the BBC are not able to be watched on other sites other than YouTube or what the BBC allows.

EXTRA: Rory's un-shot Goodbye Scene to his Father




This was an un-shot scene (after the part at the start from Dinosaurs on a Spaceship) in which Rory sends his father a letter from the past where Rory finally gets to say goodbye to his father. It is also revealed that Amy and Rory adopted a son; Anthony Brian Williams who delivers the letter to Rory's father (Brian). It is very emotional even though it is not actual scenes; just drawings from the story-board with the accompanying words and motions.

Goodbye Amelia Pond and Rory Williams. See you tomorrow.
