Remember when Amy said that Melody Pond was the name of a super hero, while Melody Williams was the name of a geography teacher? I felt that it was referring back to that, that Amy isn't a super hero chasing danger around the stars anymore. Her own identity has changed by losing her faith in the Doctor. It is almost as if she has broken an addiction
I quite like that idea.

Actually, I don't recall "Mrs" being used at all in that scene, so the point isn't very relevant. I normally use Ms as a default (eg in job application letters) unless someone's expressed a preference, and I was under the impression that's the norm.

It is almost as if she has broken an addiction, and is going on to live a free life. {Not that I am saying that the Doctor is an addiction, although he could be } Mmmm, yeah, yum! Actually, I don't recall "Mrs" being used at all in that scene, so the point isn't very relevant. I normally use Ms as a default (eg in job application letters) unless someone's expressed a preference, and I was under the impression that's the norm. The title of "Mrs" comes along when a woman takes her husband's last name, doesn't it? Or so I always thought; I don't know what to think any more. LOL

LOL Probably in a strictly legal sense, but in practice a married woman will choose whether to use Mrs or Ms. What I was talking about was when someone I need to write to is given as , say "Jane Smith", in which case I'd address the letter "Dear Ms Smith". If she was given as "Mrs Jane Smith" or "Miss Jane Smith", I'd assume that was her preference and use that. Maybe it's the circles I move in, but I've always taken that as the norm.
