I was rooting for Rory from the very start, but I really do like your analysis here and agree with it completely. Very well done! And also, yes ... Roman armor = unf. :) I can't quite pin what they changed about his hair here either (my sister and I refer to his hair in TPO/TBB as his 'hedgehog hair', it's just lovely!) but it's really rather nice in these episodes.
My hope for Series 6 is that the writers don't completely forget what Rory did, and that he still has these memories of being a soldier and plastic and those 2,000 years, and work it into the series a little. I'm not asking for a suddenly badass Rory, but perhaps more confidence, a bit more agency, and perhaps every once in awhile a little reference to those years. Like maybe he can still read/speak a bit of Latin, can handle a sword, or points out a historical anachronism somewhere and says "I know that's not right, because I was there!"
Something like that. :) tl;dr I love Rory to bits and am excited to see where Moff takes him next series.
I agree, rory really is an interesting character and itd be great to see more of him. In the xmas special he was in the background being adorable as usual, but then again it was really the doctors storyline. I'm corssing my fingers for him anyway, if only to see more of his epic hand gun lol
