10 Times War Broke Out Within The Doctor Who Fandom

7. The Overbearing Mother

This list has already brought Clara Oswald up on her tendency to steal the spotlight from the show's leading man but some would say that she's nothing compared to the persistence of her predecessor. As the girl who waited, Amy Pond was left to twiddle her thumbs for over a decade until the Doctor eventually returned to pick her up so when she finally stepped about the TARDIS for the adventures she'd been dreaming of, she wasn't going to go about it lightheartedly. In fact, never one to do things by halves, Amy went on to leave such a predominant mark on the Doctor Who mythology that she's now technically the Doctor's mother in law after giving birth to River Song who grew up to kill and marry the titular Time Lord (though not necessarily in that order) in a unique example of keeping it in the family. Not many companions can claim to have conceived their child on board the TARDIS and in retrospect maybe Amy and Rory should've just kept it in their pants because the ensuing timey-wimey drama proved to be too much for some fans to handle. Yes, it was their wedding night... but still. As such, it's an ongoing debate within the Doctor Who fandom that Amy Pond turned out to be too much of a good thing. There's always the conflicting arguments, of course, from her legion of fans - or 'Amy's Admirers', as they're known - who just can't get enough but for everyone else her presence was far too dominating for her own good. You've heard of overbearing mothers but did Amy take it to the extreme? It doesn't help that the narrative circumstances surrounding her eventual exit don't actually make any sense but she's gone now so maybe everyone should just stop talking about her anyway? Like that's ever gonna happen.
