I've decided I need a Rory icon - pref in Roman get up.
Of the three male companions, Rory is by far the most well rounded, well developed and likeable character. Mickey is just flat out annoying and not even staying in an AR and becoming 'tuff' redeemed him. Jack just confuses me. Whereas Rory has realistic fears about his relationship with Amy and hers with the Doctor. He loves her whole heartedly but not to the subjurgation of his own personality, will and desires.
That scene in The Girl Who Waited at the end where he had to decide between old Amy and young Amy was just... so touching and well acted. But its the fact that he's a Nurse - the very deliberate jab at 'not' being a Doctor, but has demonstrated a far greater loyalty to Amy than the Doctor that wins me every time. Amy waited for the Doctor, but Rory waited 2000 years for Amy. Willingly. Lovingly. Gah... I'm smitten.
The Doctor is a hopeless romantic too, like in pushing Craig to admit his feelings in the Lodger, but he's not the ideal 'romantic' love. Too flighty, too damaged, too scarred. But Rory... oh hell, yes!
