A very good point. The aunt, IMO, needs to be turned into child services.
The kid Amelia Pond would actually have been an OK compainons

A 7-year-old is not capable of making that kind of choice. That's why in real life, a man who talks a seven-year-old into leaving her family and getting in a car with him is still considered to have abducted her, even if the child agreed to it.

I'm going to just assume you're trying to play stupid for whatever asinine reason. Or do you really think that it's okay for a strange adult male to take a little 7-year-old girl and do whatever he wants with her, just because he's convinced her to come along? Because if you do, you're sick in the head.
wow

Exactly my sentiments when I read posts about how it should be okay! I mean, really. It's sick to support that kind of thing, even in fiction. But I guess, what, it's okay because he's a doctor in a a phone box, but if he's a creepy guy with a van it's suddenly criminal?

Well, this thread has been well-derailed...
I was more just commenting on how for about the first time in the history of SF, they had a child actor who I didn't want to disembowel with a can opener, and how there was kind of a Roberta Tovey vibe there which reminds me of the 60s Dalek movies...
Not the legality of having sexual tension between Doc and kid (cos, obviously, if they had the kid companion, to tie in to the kids' audience, they wouldn't put any sexual tension it - which makes the preceding page or so rather... an army of strawmen) - and anyway, I mentioned the weirdness of that in the "rate the episode" thread.

Well you got here with out me.
it's not that hard?
Spin.
The Doctor has so little in common with regular tiny little human beings, that he can't see much any difference between the Brigadier and Amelia Pond. Talking Monkeys. If he could take on Jo Grant as an assistant with the same zeal as his companionship with Liz Shaw mustered, then he really does see all of us, practically no matter what, even adolescence... hells he fell in love with little Rose when she was an inch past legal after turning his nose up at her mum who might have been twice Roses age but still a twentieth the age of the timelord...
have we compared amy to Rennet?
Snogged her he did, and she would have taken it further and harder if the Timelord hadn't bolloxed up the pckup giving her time to die of the syph.
This happens on the mentalist all the time.
Some figures simply don't know how creepy it is to play with other peoples children.

That does sum it up nicely. And I had no problem understanding her at all, and her accent was actually heavier than Karen's, which was barely discernable IMO; certainly not as obvious as Tennant's natural accent.
Thirded.
I liked her, a young actress that can actually, well, act.
I loved the little Amelia. And it looked as if Matt did aswel cos those two just clicked in those scenes together.
She wasnt so sweet that she was annoying, and she wasnt so annoying that she was sweet. She was just cool to watch.
Fourthed, as well as the highlighted bit.

Some time long after you're seven.
Seriously, a 7-year-old is typically too young to decide what to eat for breakfast or what shirt to wear. Half of them don't know how to tie their own shoes. The idea that they're capable of making the decision to leave their parents or guardians is just absurd -- and more than a little disturbing.
The parallels in this story set-up to Moffat's The Girl In The Fireplace are pretty obvious.
^ Yes, made me think of that. Also, when he told grown-up Amy not to look at Prisoner Zero, it reminded me of the Tenth Doctor saying 'Don't. Even. Blink!'
