TOP CHARACTERS OF 2011: River Song, Doctor Who
I have loved River Song from the moment she appeared on my screen. Always have, always will. Her interactions with Eleven, Rory and Amy this year just cemented her as not only one of my top characters of 2011 but one of my top characters of all time.
TOP CHARACTERS OF 2011: Rory Williams, Doctor Who
There’s a lot about Rory that can be reduced to just ‘the love interest’ yet Arthur Darvill’s portrayal really raised the character above that. Loving Amy is just so ingrained in who he is. Because of that there were certain moments that just stood out to me. In particular when the Doctor tells Rory to step away from Amy because he’s about to un-Flesh her. Rory says no and steps closer but when he sees the Doctor is serious he does as he’s told. I found that quite a profound moment because as much as he likes the Doctor Rory’s always been rather hesitant to embrace him like the other companions do, yet right there he trusts the Doctor implicitly, enough to step away from Amy even though it’s against his nature to do so. He waited 2000 years just to protect Amy so to back away from her in that moment said so much to me.
I just love that there is so much kindness in Rory and it’s easy to mistake that kindness for weakness, but when pushed you find that his softness just masks steel. He’s a soldier that demands to know where his wife is while an armada blows up behind him then cries when he meets his baby for the first time. Basically Rory is a beautiful BAMF.
TOP CHARACTERS OF 2011: Eleven, Doctor Who
By far Matt Smith’s face is the most ridiculous thing I have ever been attracted to. I just love his every expression and the manic glee he gives the Doctor’s excitement. I connect to this version of the Doctor more than any other, I think.
TOP CHARACTERS OF 2011: Amy Pond, Doctor Who
I thought Amy’s entire storyline in S6 of Doctor Who was terrible; weak and pretty sexist, reducing her agency in every way possible. Yet my love for her only grew. This Amy was even more feisty, despite the heartache that was heaped upon her, despite her pain at losing her daughter. She leaped to Rory’s defense with a sword, she was a commander in the military in the alternate timeline, she took it upon herself to enact vengeance on Madame Kovarian on behalf of the child she didn’t get to raise and herself even though she felt guilty about it later. Basically Amy managed to be even more of a BAMF and I am not ready to let her go.

The universe is big. It’s vast and complicated and ridiculous and sometimes, very rarely, impossible things just happen and we call them miracles.

You’ve touched so many lives, saved so many people. Did you think when you’re time came you’d really have to do more than just ask? You’ve decided that the universe is better of without you. But the universe doesn’t agree.
