Funny, that leap of logic gets quite over-looked in fandom while people can't seem to let go of the Amy-making-a-Star-Whale-and-Time-Lord-comparison. Both are equally problematic in ways, but then I think more people are out there looking for issues with Amy than they are with Rory.
I think the Amy one was more obvious in that it's a plot-resolution and not just one line? What Rory says is just about passable if it's based on what he personally feels about the Doctor (wanting to impress him), whereas hers is a bit "Wait, hasn't she only known him about five minutes?" If anything I think what gets passed on too easily is Rose and Donna knowing stuff about the Doctor within about two seconds. And there's that constant thing back to the olden days where villains get overly scared of some guy dressed as a charity shop who only just showed up and become obssessed with capturing and/or killing him.
I get that he's a bit upset with her over the kiss (which, considering, feels weird coming from a guy who just had a stripper at his stag-night)
It seemed odd to me when the obvious explanation is that she's a kissagram and the Doctor was one of her customers, but that doesn't occur to Rory at all. He does get over it, though, so that's something. He doesn't annoy me as such I just keep forgetting that he exists. I may have, erm, skipped most of his bits in The Pandorica Opens.
Speaking of, how do they know where the Pandorica is just from a painting of Ur TARDIS Asplode? I never caught that for some reason.
