lol I know, right? I knew there was a reason I kept this icon around.
I just still don't think that Rory would have let Amy go without an explanation -- and even if they were fighting about a lot of things that could be used as plausible excuses, I think he would have hung on until he found The Real Problem. I just don't see him going and getting divorce papers drawn up without being convinced that it's absolutely not going to work. I definitely see Amy being heartbroken and furious that she can't get pregnant again, and not wanting to tell Rory about it, and that all boiling up until she can't stand to be with him because she feels she's disappointing him for reasons she hasn't even explained to him. But like you said, in proper-writer-world that situation ends in a huge character-building fight where All Is Revealed, and then maybe they divorce. Moffat decided he had to do it backwards for ~~drama~~, which is just stupid.
Hm, Wikipedia is telling me Chibnall wrote 42 and The Hungry Earth/Cold Blood? I didn't love those episodes, but I didn't really hate them either. They were just sort of... there. Mostly for next episode I'm hoping they can work in someone saying "I have had it with these motherfucking dinosaurs on this motherfucking spaceship!" (or the family-friendly equivalent), because that is the kind of silly reference I adore.
