I been watching Doctor Who since the era of Tom Baker. The Last Centurian myth, to me, is one of the most epic and iconic roles I have ever seen in the series. And it was beyond awesome.
Imagine him during the colonial imperial era, fighting off pirates trying to board the ship that has the box on it, pretty sure Black Beard would rethink what he doing then and there when a Gods damned Roman Legion Centurion is kicking your butt
@@alexandarvoncarsteinzarovi3723 it was pretty smart of him to go into the shadows, protecting the box without being seen, as time progressed into the modern Era, a Roman centurion would draw way too much attention to the box, but a regular night guard? Oh yeah that's just rory, he's been here since the box transferred from another storage place, easy peasy
When I first started watching the eleventh doctor I thought wow Amy really settled but as time went on it's clear that rory was too good for her I mean he defied death and waited 2000 years no sleep or rest while she makes googly eyes at the doctor and a duplicate of herself wow
@ob2kenobi388 she tried to divorce him because she could no longer give him the child he wanted to have, she loved him enough to let go, he loved her enough to hold on tighter and convinced her that she was more important than a baby.
@@tetragaming6332or instead of divorcing him, she could have told him she was unable to have children, and they could have worked on a solution together.
Rory is someone who you can count on for devotion, I kinda hate his guts from the start but he show me that even in the the craziest of time... He got balls of steels, and also the one time for 2000 year, literally. Amy is someone who let go if she can't provide, and Rory is someone who stayed when he is needed.
Well, yes but... Rory had a mission, a task he himself decided to fulfill. He knew the wait would be over one day. Amy just thought they left her there, and after being completely alone for over 30 years of waiting, I can't really blame her.
Rory is a Auton, he don't need to eat or drink, he don't get tired, he don't age, he has hope because he was promised that Amy will survive, and he had a purpose. Amy, on the other hand, is a human who had lost all hope, and without purpose other than just survive.
IIRC, the version seen in the show itself shows American B-17 bombers when it talks about the London Blitz. Probably just a simple error borne out of someone googling ‘wwii bombers’, but it’s interesting to consider wether or not it means, in-universe, that WWII was a lot different in that timeline.
"How long would you wait for the woman you love" I know the answer. Two hours. I waited two hours for her at the trainstation, to pick her up for our first date. Came a half hour too early and stayed an hour and a half past the time we were supposed to meet, before deciding to go to work that evening instead.
Imagine the lo~ong (alternate) historical stories Rory would've told to his and Amy's (adoptive grand)children after their last adventure with the doctor.
2 000 year is pretty old even for time lord, if I remember right, 12 was 2000 years old(without whole heaven sent circle). And that was living history! Full of experience and memories. There is that theory that Rory is Master (or different time lord) in human form. I personally don't think he was master, at most, it was one of possible directions that series could go, but writers(or who decide it) decided to abandon it. But with whole timeless child, River's existence starts to be plot hole, there is chance they will use parent is time lord excuse to fix it. If they do it, Rory is best candidate, because of his experience as 2000 years old last centurion. It could be potentially longer that lives of some timelords, so he shouldn't disappear as YANA in Master. Even if he regenerates and get new personality, he will still have memories and experience, that will affect him. + theory already exist, so just making it canon will not be difficult.
Not really if he’d been in human form not plastic robot his brain would have broken before he turned 200 time lords either evolved or genetically engineered themselves to be able to handle the massive amount of data seeing the time vortex on their homework gives them as well as allowing them to perceive shifts to the time line
@@seanbraley2772I remember (not exactly episode) where Rory talk with Doctor and tell him he remember and fact he was there, when Rome fallen or something like that. So yeah, Rory remember it, maybe not perfectly every second, but probably not worse that any other long living race. Humans brains in DW are capable doing incredible things, see future, make Doctor Jesus etc.
@@liborohanka5010 beacuse of his robot body hes no longer a robot he may recall big things like we do but he wont have a perfect memory any more it would be crippaling
I kind of wish they had done more with this idea than the one or two references in the later series. Rory could still have been Rory, of course, but imagine if he occasionally threw in historical trivia (like the Doctor does) because he literally had to live through the 2 thousand years. He clearly wasn't isolated throughout the entire time, so he must have some experiences with the world.
