Pretty much what Ten was doing post-WoM and pre EoT, right? Yup. I think I see a lot of the early season as still recovering from having been Ten.
Also, I realised recently that Leadworth in "Amy's Choice" is really the Doctor's nightmare more than Rory's dream. It's not just quiet and full of old people who can't die, it's where one of his companions dies and he can nothing to prevent or change than and the other one says "if you can't save people, what's the point of you?" I guess that makes the TARDIS Rory's nightmare. Very much agreed. Well, actually, I think I'm inclined to see them *both* as the Doctor's nightmare--a dead TARDIS sounds like the kind of thing that would haunt him too. Once we found out who the Dream Lord is, I started looking at almost all of that episode as a reflection of the Doctor.
