So, this excellent, flaily, feelings-laden post really helped clarify some things about Amy Pond and recent developments in Doctor Who for me. Which basically boil down to I have no idea who Amy Pond is. I feel that backstory (at least for me; at least for the stories that I connect to the most) is hugely informative to the characters. And at this point, I honestly don't know Amy's backstory. I don't know what she remembers of her own history. Each time we get a flashback, I feel like I'm being told a new, contradictory backstory that doesnt fit at all with what's gone before.
