Inkspot, welcome to the fandom! I'm excited that you've started watching!
Actually, I loved "The Power of Three". I knew you weren't going to like it, but I did. The plot was a bit too simplistic, I guess, but I still liked aspects of it, and the overall episode was just wonderful. ^_^ There were so many funny lines and cute scenes and hilarious and heart-rending moments. Also, I very much liked Kate. I thought that was a sweet tie-in to Classic Who.
Did anybody catch the wibbly wobbly timeline? It was in this episode that Rory lost his phone charger, but it was referenced in "a Town Called Mercy". Plus, I believe they were even wearing the same clothes while under the bed that they were dressed in during ATCM.
As to the Ponds continuing to travel with the Doctor, remember this: we have no idea how much time will have elapsed between "The Power of Three" and "The Angels Take Manhattan". So far, the episodes have had significant time gaps between them. In fact, it makes it easier to see the Ponds go, in my opinion. This is not another story of the Doctor picking up a companion, travelling with them for a bit, and then having them meet some sort of tragic end. It's been TEN YEARS since Amy first started travelling with the Doctor. She and Rory have been together for a long time, and they've had a life. They've not just been in the TARDIS the whole time.
I don't know how everyone feels but I didn't really like the latest episode. It was like, too rushed, and in the end I'm not sure what the exact reason was for trying to kill humans other than the dude not liking us!
And the Ponds are back traveling with the Doctor for no reason cause they'll be gone for good at the end of next episode, I think.
