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
it may be true, you may be white, and for 2000 years you have respawned, and grandpa, son, grandpa, son, grandpa, daughter, son, daughter, son for 2000 years. You would never know with the memory of retarded rory.
@@matthewparker5277 still a great idea as well to keep his armor and come up with a kind of legendary status for himself too. ties more mystery into the pandorica and ensures itll never be forgotten.
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.
The Blitzkrieg wasn’t a single bombing, it was a sustained campaign over eight months. Before the warehouse was destroyed, I doubt he’d have ever really left it. Meanwhile, the events of The Empty Child arc only take place across a day or two, and the doctor would be too focused on the whole plot thing to go looking into unrelated warehouses. The only way they really have the chance to run into each other would be if the doctor was there on the night of the warehouses destruction. But London is massive, the chances of them running into each other are next to none. Plus, according to other comments, it wasn’t even in the same timeline. So yeah, definitely not.
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.
The brilliance of this scene cannot be understated! In their last conversation the Doctor told Rory that he is basically immortal, but still made out of plastic so he should stay away from fire. So they show us this burning museum, telling us that he probably melted away while pulling the Pandorica only to later reveal he just switched jobs. The relief of his hand folding open to shoot the Darlek was sooo good
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.
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.
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.
"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.
@@Chaguarr the heart works in mysterious ways, i hate that social media has made people think you need a certain amount of time before you can love someone
Very few knows what it is like to be the Doctor. Living for thousands of years, always alone, carrying out a duty, even more so that the doctor as no companions. But Rory knows. He has experiences few others will ever have. And in the end, he and Amy lived out their final days in Love in old NY (the Big Bang 2 having rest him back to human).

I've only been watching since Eccleston... I'm glad to know that this is as iconic in Dr. Who as I thought it was 😊

"I have a message from the Doctor, and a question from me..."
*"...Where is my wife?"*
This was the episode that forced any man who was dating a Whovian to step-up their game! 🤣🤣🤣🤣
To answer the question: As long as it takes.
If he was in London during the Blitz, shouldn't he had run into Doctor and Jack Harkness with that whole 'Are You My Mummy' bit?
London is a big place
don't think he would have, this was in a different version of earth where there where no stars
No, why would he?
wrong version of universe.

Rory willing to protect his wife for over 2000 years, meanwhile amy cant even wait 36 years, ok she had to hide from the handbots but still...

Also Amy was aging and had to die.... Rory had a mission as they mention, it's completely different.
When Rory was touched by the weeping angel Amy decided to go with him
Rory's loyalty is outstanding and impressive
Truly a real man
I wonder if he ever became a Knight of the Round Table, a Paladin of Charlemagne, met Jeanna d'Arc,
Spin-off Series !
Book or Radio Play !
Big Finish is doing a box on EXACTLY that
I kind of thing he wouldn’t. I think he could have, but the thing is, he’d need to leave the box for that and I don’t think he would.
@@TheXMan He could have buried it someplace safe and later retrieved it, I mean it's not like he was sitting idle,
@@alexandarvoncarsteinzarovi3723 that’s a fair point, he could have.
"how long would you wait for the one you love"
end of the universe. start of the next. as long as it takes. will never forget.

I mean, the line still works, even if it's from Harry Potter.
I will keep my promise to her as long as it take. She asked me to live a good life for both of us. Not a day goes by I don't miss her.
How long? How about until all the suns die and the universe collapses back in on itself.
Yes, but will you still wait after the new universe forms?
I assume your answer is yes.

A long time, if I had to, and if I had a loooooong lifespan

That was an Excellent Storyline! It still brings tears to my eyes.....

Feels like a dark souls npc
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.
He waited 2000 years!?!? And yet Amy has the fucking Audacity to call herself “the girl who waited” after… 12!
She was calling herself that before this
The Doctor's the one who called her that, to be fair
She also divorced him.
I will forever love Rory more than Amy
How long would you wait for the one you love? Quick! Call a jewelry company!
I think you've just created THE Valentines phrase of 2024
It still makes me cry.
