He says it's like a door he can open, so he remembers his plastic existence only if he chooses to.Siskoidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08266365376486695812noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37940560.post-27580000857516247582014-04-14T10:36:21.401-03:002014-04-14T10:36:21.401-03:00When I saw Rory leading the way to empathize with ...When I saw Rory leading the way to empathize with the Gangers, I also really expected to see a callback to his memories as a plastic Auton (which we've seen has survived -- at least the centurion part*)<br /><br />*I often wondered if the body horror trauma of remembering that body which he may not have any longer had post-Big Bang was suppressed or just not talked about -- either way, the events here should have had some reference to them.Briannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37940560.post-12468882766222235912014-04-14T09:48:54.019-03:002014-04-14T09:48:54.019-03:00Great point!

But I feel there was a missed opportunity for Rory to say something along the lines of, "if I were, say, made out of plastic, would I be any less me?"
