Clara's adorable :3 Very Mary Sue, haha. And yeah, I would have wanted more references to Rose overall ;; I never quite understood where on the Doctor's timeline Ten came from in the 50th. He said he was 903 so after Rose, probably also after Martha since he didn't realize why Elisabeth I would be mad at him in the Martha episodes xD Which obviously was because he left her after marrying her in the 50th harhar.
Amy was definitely needy. She needed Rory to always be there as a sappy husband, but she also needed the Doctor to provide her with adventure and thrill. Super needy. I just really like their story together with him meeting her young and never quite letting go of that view of her :3 Much to her chagrin.
