The Daily Beast: How would you stack up Amy Pond against her most recent predecessors, i.e., Rose Tyler, Martha Jones, and Donna Noble? Did you set out to make her a reaction to any of the Doctor’s most recent companions?
Steven Moffat: I don’t think you can, because she’s a completely different person. With the Doctor, you might have a certain amount of that, but Amy Pond has never even met those other girls, so why would she be a response to them?…There are always going to be certain commonalities to the people who choose to go through the blue doors, but I think Amy is…in certain respects, one of the trickier ones. Because of her very odd introduction to the Doctor, it took her a long time to trust him. She likes a good time…I keep saying, “bad girl in the TARDIS.” And now, you know who her daughter is and they’re both just bad girls.She’s not a bad girl in the TARDIS, she’s an undeveloped character who miraculously saves the day with very little effort every episode. Jesus, Moffat. Calm yourself.
I’m only reblogging this to say that commonalities is one of my least favourite words.

Thank you, Rosianna. Here is another reason to explain why I absolutely do not like Amy Pond.
Bad girl when The Doctor says it = endearing, bad girl when Moffat repeatedly says it as though it actually means...
She does have a lot of potential to be an interesting character, but after the first episodes he just stopped writing...
