20 Worst Moments In Modern Doctor Who

The Doctor has had his fair share of kisses in the modern era but one of the most uncomfortable moments comes at the end of Flesh and Stone when Amy pounces on Eleven.

Firstly, Amy has just spent two episodes watching the Doctor and River flirting to high heaven and even deduced that River is his wife, so to then make a move on him seems like a major violation of the girl-code. And very messy when we realise River is her daughter!

But even more egregious is the fact that Amy is literally set to marry Rory in the morning. The entire basis of their relationship is that Rory always feels second best compared to the Doctor and yet Amy always chooses him, but this moment throws that entire notion out the window and suggests Rory has good reason to feel uncertain.

Obviously the writers needed a way to get Rory into the TARDIS team but this felt like the wrong choice for Amy’s character. Wouldn’t it have been more poignant for her to have opened up to her imaginary friend about her fears and he then offered a way to help alleviate those worries? This just made Amy seem shallow and careless.

And don’t even get me started on how chill Rory seems to be about the whole thing in the next episode. He doesn’t even ask her about it!
