This stupid imbecilic degeneracy was copied by the moron Steven Moffat
for the character of the 12th Doctor and that finally killed the series
off completely after Capaldi got Clara killed for nothing after making
both characters not get on with each other and then got Bill Potts
killed off for nothing as well, as well as Capaldi. Oh, and don't
forgery he effectively killed off Amy and Rory too.

I always felt that the rationale for the Doctor not being able to rescue
Amy and Rory because for some tenuous reason he couldn't visit NY at the
particular time they'd been sent to didn't really hold weather. He could
visit some earlier time or different place and arrange for a message to
be sent to them, telling them to take a train to, say, Chicago, where
he'd be able to pick them up.

Agreed, there had to be some workarounds. At least they could have brought
some up and explained why they wouldn’t work.

I thought it was that those time-shifted by the Angels could never time

 No, they were just trapped in a zone that the doctor couldn’t go to.
