I have this complex with the Ponds and their lives. As a viewer, we really only see them with The Doctor. But that isn’t them. Not really. That is an alternate them that we have accepted because it is the majority of what we know.
Amy and Rory Pond in reality are not adventure having superheroes.
She is a model. People take her photo and little girls come up to her in shops. And Rory is a nurse. He works in a hospital doing the best he can trying to heal others.
And they fight. They fight and grow distant and Amy has a copy of the same divorce papers that Rory has.
And then The Doctor swoops in and whisks them away and suddenly they are not those people. They are companions and on a space ship or chasing after their daughter when she runs away or they are any number of things throughout time.
But that isn’t them because when they gets home there are still the cameras and the patients and the possibility of divorce papers.
Even when they are sent back by the angel.
