And actually this is the second time Amy is pregnant, and that previous occasion actually meant something even though it actually happened in a dream world. This just seemed like an occasion for the world to revolve around Amy (at least during her announcement of it to the Doctor at the cliff-hanging moment) when she had to stop the Doctor from saving everyone else to tell him something that, in the end, wasn't. As you say, we suddenly have pregnancy as an issue when it wasn't before. It's almost as if Moff is not just saying how SPESHUL Amy is, but also clubbing us over the head with the fact that she's female.
I can't care about Amy either. I bitterly hate how it's become The Companion instead of Doctor Who. I never even bought that Donna was The Most Important, but at least she had a lot of moments of brilliance that showed how she earned that title. Amy is the biggest Deu ex Machina I've ever seen. She has to be brave and heroic, but she has to be captured and the centre of attention by the bad guy. She has to understand ramblings from Eleven that not even River can (and don't get me started on her!) but she has to be dumb when the necessary moment exists as well. She simply doesn't seem to have a character, and this is quite apart from the fact that she hasn't changed or grown in the slightest since we first saw her in Eleventh Hour. The lack of character development in this series has made me roll my eyes.
I'm afraid I don't think this version of the Doctor cares about mankind as much as about Amy. The rest of the Universe can go to hell as long as she's all right. If she's pregnant, it will give the Doctor lots of chances to be angry with everyone else if they threaten her. And if that's the storyline that Moff is pursuing, it just gives me even more reason to stop watching it until either she leaves or Eleven regenerates.
