Inside Television with Alan Sepinwall

Does Amy Pond love the Doctor more, or her husband Rory?

Tomorrow night at 9, BBC America premieres the new season of "Doctor Who," and today I have the last of my three video interviews with the show's stars. You can find my Matt Smith interview here and here, and my chat with Alex Kingston here and here. Now it's time for Karen Gillan, who plays the Doctor's fiery companion Amy Pond.

I spoke with Gillan in BBC America's New York offices about Amy's feelings for both the Doctor and her husband Rory, growing up as part of the UK's lost generation that didn't know "Doctor Who," her Scottish accent, and more.

I love how her energy translates over to Amy and/or vice veresa.

Even though she is a big star now in the uk, it's nice to see that she appears to also still be a normal 21 year old girl.

How is Fienberg not watching DW purely just for Karen Gillan? She's so cute with such an adorable accent.

- sepinwall Believe me, we have had this argument pretty much daily for the last several weeks, and Dan has yet to give me a reasonable explanation.

She comes off real and so positive and a bit quirky.

I felt bad for her when Alan pressed her on what she sees in Rory, as I'm not sure the show has given her a full answer either (other than he's very devoted to her.) Especially when the Doctor is very much the man of her dreams.
