Lol, me too! Curse our lifetimes of sensible use of the volume dial!
Sci-fi should at least TRY to be reality-based!
At this point, I don't even care about reality, I just want it to be ACT-based, not "think happy thoughts and wait for things to get better!"-based. That's a sick thing to tell little kids, even in comparison to all the other sick things DW tells little kids.
I heard she got married to someone, and they're traveling with the Doctor together
Yeah, but... Mickey'd. He gets ignored/belittled a lot by both Amy and the Doctor, and he's obviously inferior in every way. Amy's always back and forth amongst "oh yay I love you let's get married like we planned!" and "ummm you're nice but we could always get married laaaaaaterrrrr...." and "wait, fiance? What fiance?" LITERALLY. SHE LITERALLY FORGETS HE EXISTS FOR A FEW EPISODES. HE LITERALLY DOES NOT EXIST FOR A FEW EPISODES. And then she un-erases his existence by... tinkerbell-Jesusing him? After which he "proves his love" by hanging around for TWO MILLENNIA guarding her not-quite-dead body (after which he emerges exactly the same, completely unaffected by, uh, two thousand years of life), and then they get married, but Amy FLIPS OUT during the wedding and stops the proceedings in their tracks because omg, she has to tinkerbell-Jesus the Doctor. And then she blatantly hits on the Doctor. During her rehearsal dinner. In front of her fiance. Who just stands there and goes, "well, yeah."
which gave me high hopes that maybe this companion would not fall in love with/be mistaken for the girlfriend of the Doctor.
Amy is traumatically fixated upon, but not in love with, the Doctor, and somehow that led her to try to have sex with him the night before her wedding. She is constantly mistaken for his girlfriend, while her actual fiance is mistaken for her brother, or her servant.
ARG. It kills me because Amy is so awesome in so very many ways, but her degrading treatment of Rory makes it really difficult for me to like her and to want her to not get eaten by monsters.
Star Trek movie (where they PARACHUTED FROM SPACE)
Bwahah!
how bad was it?
The science was so bad as to be unintelligible, not to mention all the "uhhhh we can fix this plot hole by...wishing!" travesties. I'd call it an 11, because at least in the Star Trek movie they made a vague gesture at science. This was just made-up words and leprechauns.
