Damn it Rory, you just HAD to go look at that gravestone, didnt you?

[rtrscope]

Not only did the Weeping Angels take Manhattan that day, but they also took all my happiness and threw it away.

When Amy dies, the Doctor starts crying, meaning he looks away from the angel. This means that River kept her eyes on it. *Her mother just died but she held herself together for the Doctor, clearly knowing he was weaker in the feels department.*

Technically, while they both died, Amy and Rory ended up living together. This may be bad for the Doctor, but at least they finally had the chance they desired to live a normal life and grow old together.

Poor Matt even in the behind the scenes before filming this he broke down because he was saying goodbye to the actors for Amelia and Rory and it shows how much of a friendship even on set that they had

[lebbo]

"Come along, Pond, please" Always hurts when he says that. The last time he ever says it.

The five years Amy had to spend without him after his death...

[jaykdos]

"Amy you are creating fixed time. I WILL NEVER BE ABLE TO SEE YOU AGAIN!"
That line broke me

[oswin]

"It'll be fine. I know it will. I-I'll be with him."
I love that Amy chooses Rory so finally in this moment.

While it's sad, what I do like about Amy and Rory's departure is that they never had to experience or adjust to another incarnation of the Doctor. They spent years travelling with the fun, quirky, magical Eleventh Doctor, and he was a pivotal part of both their lives. The fact they never had to remember him otherwise gives me some comfort. They'll always remember him as their raggedy madman in a box.

You have to admire River's strength in this scene. She just witnessed her parents' demise and whilst the Doctor collapsed and broke down, she kept her composure and stayed strong for him, even though it must have been killing her inside.
River may have been feisty like her mother, but she definately inherited her father's compassion.

[WarGrowlmon]

"Everyone dies alone. But if you mean something to someone, if you helped someone, or loved someone, if even a single person remembers you, then maybe you never really die at all."

[pablotinocop]

Beautiful reminder that Amy decided to turn around and see the doctor one last time instead of just blinking 😢

[lswritings]

“Melody... You look after him. And - you be a good girl and you look after him.” She said that River kissed her hand. A final goodbye between mother and daughter. Dammit this show knows how to yank on the heartstrings!

10 years later and this scene is still soul crushing.

[Bajanprince]

I know the Doctor wanted to rip that angel apart, when it took Amy and Rory from him. Just look at how he's looking at it, at the end. He's crying, but you can just feel the anger.

[annabillie]

Matt Smith was so different in how he expressed his emotions. The others were always very passionate and determined, Smiths Doctor was always quirky and childish, so when he stood breaking down like this is was so powerful. Great actor! Why isn't he in more stuff?!

[TheReignOfZain]

I've always seen the 11th Doctor as the happiest and most enthusiastic of them
All. Watching this scene is really sad to see as he breaks down and cries

[soundgal_sine_qua_non]

River is the MVP of this whole scene. I already loved that she kept looking at the angel so her husband could mourn, but watching it this time around highlighted other moments. While the Doctor is trying to talk Amy out of going, River advocates for the one chance of her parents being together, even if it means losing her mom and dad within minutes of each other. And she does it with a smile (the romantic side of her peeking through). The way she gently holds and kisses her mom's hand is so beautiful. She's even sure to take care of the TARDIS after such a rough journey. She consistently shelves her own agenda to look after her family.

The Doctor: “She died of old age”

Toymaker: “WELL THAT’S ALRIGHT THEN!”
