Post by The True DoctorThis stupid imbecilic degeneracy was copied by the moron Steven Moffat
for the character of the 12th Doctor and that finally killed the series
off completely after Capaldi got Clara killed for nothing after making
both characters not get on with each other and then got Bill Potts
killed off for nothing as well, as well as Capaldi. Oh, and don't
forgery he effectively killed off Amy and Rory too.
I always felt that the rationale for the Doctor not being able to rescue
Amy and Rory because for some tenuous reason he couldn't visit NY at the
particular time they'd been sent to didn't really hold weather. He could
visit some earlier time or different place and arrange for a message to
be sent to them, telling them to take a train to, say, Chicago, where
he'd be able to pick them up.
Agreed, there had to be some workarounds. At least they could have brought
some up and explained why they wouldn’t work.
I thought it was that those time-shifted by the Angels could never time
travel afterwards.
No, they were just trapped in a zone that the doctor couldn’t go to.
Can someone remind/enlighten me on _why_ The Doctor couldn't go there?
This is from Wikipedia:
The Weeping Angel collector Grayle captures River and Rory. He locks Rory
in the cellar with several cherub Weeping Angels, while he has a Weeping
Angel grab River by the wrist while he interrogates her. River is able to
use her vortex manipulator to allow the TARDIS to arrive. Amy, knowing
River wrote the book to help them, uses it to look for Rory. River breaks
her wrist to free herself. Amy finds the cellar empty and the Doctor
locates Rory at an apartment building nearby.
Rory enters an apartment with an elderly version of himself in bed, who
dies without having seen Amy for many years. The Doctor deduces that the
Weeping Angels have been using the building as a battery farm, sending the
victims to their past while feeding off their time energy. Rory and Amy
refuse to accept their fate and flee to the roof. Amy and Rory jump off the
roof, creating a paradox that destroys the building and the Weeping Angels.
The Doctor, River, Amy and Rory find themselves near the TARDIS in a
graveyard in 2012. Rory catches sight of a gravestone with his name on it.
He is then sent into the past by a Weeping Angel who had survived the
paradox. The Doctor is unable to go back to get him, due to the paradox.
Despite the Doctor urging her not to do so, Amy allows herself to be
touched by the Weeping Angel in the hope of being with Rory. Her name then
appears along with Rory's on the gravestone.
