Find out what happened to Rory's dad on Doctor Who! [video]
*Possible spoilers if you have not seen Doctor Who Season 7 Episode 5 - The Angels Take Manhattan
Doctor Who fans eagerly tuned in to watch the season 7 mid-season finale which was known to be the departure episode for current companions Amy Pond and Rory Williams. Though there were mixed reactions to how Amy and Rory's departure from the show was handled, there was one thing that most fans agreed about. "What ever happened to Rory's dad, Brian Williams?" For some reason the show left this question unanswered and we never see if Brian ever finds out about what happened to his son. I personally found this to be a huge oversight by the show. They took several episodes to establish and develop the character of Brian Williams and then left him as the biggest plot hole of the season. To prove that the character was special and important the Doctor even invited him to travel with him in the TARDIS alongside his son and daughter-in-law.
All this left fans searching for some form of closure with the character and now they can have it. There was a scene written by Chris Chinball that was never shot that explains what happened to Brian Williams and tells you a little more about what happened to the Ponds as well. Personally, I also feel this scene makes the Ponds' departure from the show a little more meaningful and easy to accept. This scene may be a little reminiscent from a past scene but then given the situation it is the right way to go about it. (Watch to see what I mean.) Make sure to have a box of tissues ready, you may get a little emotional. It is truly a shame that this scene was never shot. But you can now watch the scene with some nice illustrations and a voice-over by Arthur Darvill (Rory). I felt a lot better about the episode, Brian Williams, and the Ponds after watching this scene.
Enjoy.
