Also, I really love that a running theme seems to be that adventure is good, adventure is fun, but having a reason to stay is *also* good. And though it could feel like 'well you just need to settle down'...it doesn't to me. Because adventure isn't ruled out when this couple gets together, or when Amy chose Rory (*SNIFFLE*). But there is the acknowledgment that having a home is a good thing to want, to build, to go back to. And while for me that doesn't include a long term relationship, for a lot (majority, maybe?) of people it really does, so I find I'm cool with that as shorthand...even though if you'd told me I would be a few months ago I'd have probably laughed at you. If anyone starts going all soulmate on me, I'm still gonna hurl though. (unless it's Amy/Rory...*FACEPALM*)
And if you really are one of those people who is never comfortable settling in anywhere, and never will be...well, meet the Doctor and bond. :D :D :D
