Doctor Who conjecture

"The Doctor's Wife" (Loved it! Loved her! "I stole you.") marked the third straight episode that Rory has said "I'm a nurse" in some context.

So is that reference a simple reminder to the audience? A setup for some future moment when that will be important? Or merely a contrast between "The Doctor" and "The Nurse?" (The Doctor being the person who comes in, announces things that make things happen, while the nurse is the comforter, the doer of day-to-day needs.)

And how wonderful to get reminders of Amy's feelings for Rory. Her image of delight (I think it was delight) being her wedding day and him.

Oh, and humans are "bigger on the inside." Brilliant.

Apparently I could go on and on about moments I loved.

I don't watch Doctor Who but I read that Neil Gaiman wrote that episode.

Humans being bigger on the inside had to be the best thing ever about this episode. I was also deeply moved by TARDIS/Idris in general. "Hello, Doctor!"
