I also hated Amy's assessment of their relationship. Nothing Rory can ever do, or has done will ever measure up to... anything. It's all nothing, and only ever will be nothing to her. And that's very in character for her, which... probably is why I will never be on board that ship.
That whole scene really laid it out, didn't it? It was essentially: "Sure, you've repeatedly demonstrated your intense love for me, but I used my words to tell you I love you and HOW DARE YOU insinuate that my words and your deeds should not be measured equally?!" Especially when her behavior includes things like repeatedly disparaging Rory and trying to sleep with the Doctor on the eve of her wedding.
The thing that made me go 'wow' was that in her mind her words exceed everything he has done so far that in comparison his contribution is 'nothing.' Amy's "given him up" quite a few times now, quite easily. So... *sigh* I'm ready for her to go. Rory, on the other hand...
The Doctor is a classic meddler, and his MO is putting his nose in where it doesn't belong, so that didn't bother me so much. But you're right about the rest. Moffat does not have a good track record with any characterization, especially in the female department. It's the main reason I hesitate at the idea of a female Doctor, especially while he's in charge. :(
I re-watched 'Remembrance of the Daleks' last night, and bloody hell it is 1000X better than Asylum. But I do love McCoy an awful lot, so maybe I'm biased. XD
Dinosaurs are always cool!! Though all of the previews say that there are "too many characters with too little development" which is par for the course in Moffat times.
-I rather liked the whole Oswin twist, and I'm interested to see how she becomes a full-time companion. I liked less the whole 'it was a phase' joke :/
-I've become less invested in the Amy/Rory ship as the show goes on. It's a shame, because there were times that I really liked them, but devaluing Rory's love in order to set up hers is not cool. Ehhh, I'm still meh about that whole thing.
