Doctor Who: 10 Worst Things Amy Pond Has Ever Done

The sixth series of New Who begins with the Impossible Astronaut, which kicks off the timey-wimey story arc of the events which take place at Lake Silencio. In these opening moments, Amy amongst others, witnesses an astronaut step out of the lake and seemingly kill the Eleventh Doctor.

Jump forward in time to the closing moments of the story, where the TARDIS team go back in time to the year of the moon, Amy and a younger Eleventh Doctor are met by the same Astronaut. In a heated cliffhanger, the Astronaut approaches, and Amy picks up a gun. Whilst busy picking up the gun, the Astronaut lifts its mask, revealing a little girl, but Amy instantly fires the gun, before even realising this, trying to eliminate the potential threat to her friend without second thought. Obviously guns are not something the Doctor approves of, and so when asked what she is doing, Amy simply responds "saving your life".

Later in the series, the audience learns that the person inside the suit is actually Amy and Rory's daughter, who grew up without her parents, so that's some potential trauma for your first meeting with your mum being her taking a headshot at you. Thankfully, Amy is an appalling shot and misses the little girl, and simply damages the suit.

We know Amy takes this drastic action to save her friend, but it is another example where she seems to act before any thought. But again, luckily this does not come with any horrific ramifications.
