I kind of hate to say this in a show with *so many* fantastic female characters, but Rory is just my very favorite companion. He has this moment in the Dream Lord episode when, after Eleven says about how you can trust nothing and need to examine everything, where he peers really closely at a random wrench he has in his hand, clearly trying to follow instructions, and from that moment on he was my forever fave.

Oh my god I know exactly what you mean though. Every moment in this series that's really burnt itself into my brain is about Rory: him getting erased from history (still crying), him coming back to life (still crying even more), him standing guard over Amy for two whole millennia (I may never be okay again). He's such a great character, the down-to-earth straight man in the Doctor's circus of crazy, and I love him fit to burst.

Honestly, it's getting harder every episode to say who my favourite character is. The whole cast is *so good*.
