@ Wamrue while I agree with you that Rory seems to be a rehash of Mickey and that he has the same relationship with the Doctor as Mickey did...but I disagree that he's not grown since we first met him. I thought this episode and "Vampires of Venice" were great Rory growth episodes. He's not afraid to stand up to the Doctor or voice his concerns about his relationship with Amy. Mickey kind of moaned and groaned but never called the Doctor out or confronted him. He sort of just took it and understood that Rose and him had started to drift apart. Rory KNOWS that Amy is in love with him and that the Doctor is kind of an un-full filled fantasy for her..."Amy's Choice" was basically all about this.
