The Impossible Astronaut confused me so so much. I mean, what? I think that's what most of fandom are thinking actually. But maybe in capslock - WHAT? Italicalized capslock even. I'm loving it though, I'm loving that DW is making me go 'what?' in italicalized capslock *laughs*
God, River just gets better and better each time, doesn't she? I mean, since s5 and her return I've adored and loved her, but as of s6 I think I'm kind of in love with her and all 'MARRY ME RIVER' because, well. :D
I'm hoping there's a loophole aswell. Trying to think of one though is breaking my brain again, and it's broken enough as it is, so I'm trying not do dwell a lot on the Doctor's death. Or supposed death. Hopefully not real. >.< Or, it can be real, as long as it can be fixed. *flails*
And so you're not annoyed with River still being, well, River and that we don't really know who she is? That's kind of nice to hear, that I'm not the only one. I want to know who she is, of course, but I don't mind if we have to wait a bit longer. I'd rather have it be done brilliantly and take longer, than it being done with fast and it being awful and disappointing. :)
Oh, did you know that the guy playing old!Canton is Mark Sheppards dad? I thought that was kind of neat ^^
I absolutely LOVE the River/Doctor banter, I could watch a whole episode with just the two of them on some adventure, bantering away, flirting and saving the day. :D
Oh god yeah, SITL/FOTD is going to break my heart more than ever when I watch it again. It's just so sad, River and the Doctor's relationship, how it works. I wonder if the Doctor will be equally heartbroken when he one day meet River and she doesn't know him at all? *sniff*
So many questions now. Later this week, when I can think properly again, I'm gonna go through my notes again and write down every single question, new and old, relevant or not. I have a feeling it's going to be quite a lot. XD
I gotta say, as much as I love Moffat's work, both on DW and his other shows, I will actually be rather angry if he messes up River in any way. Whether it's by doing any of the things you listed, or something else. He's written her so wonderfully, that I doubt he'll mess her up, he seems to be too careful with her for that, but still. One never knows.
And I promise I won't spoil anything for you in any comment, now or in the future ^^ I hope the tags for my entries on my journal aren't spoiling things for you? I try to be very careful when I write them, and be as vague as I possibly can if I have to. I think you're the only one on my flist who's so far behind, but I'm not sure, so I figure it's better to be safe than sorry XD
I hope you'll enjoy Day of the Moon when you get to see it! :D
Haha that was exactly my entire family's reaction. WHAT?! And then we all looked at each other helplessly and promptly re-watched the ep the next day on iview :P
I've loved River since series four, mainly because I never much cared for Donna (sacrilege I know)and she was a break from Donna and also she had some great lines. But from the second she appeared in series five with killer heels and a black dress I was like OMFG I LOVE THIS CHARACTER OMFG MARRY ME? The obsession gets worse with each reappearance.
Time can be rewritten re the Doctor's death? That's what I'm clinging to... that and Moff's penchant for "someday's are special, someday's are so so blessed, somedays nobody dies at all."
Totally agree re River. I like River the cipher for the time being... mainly because it makes her more compelling for me... I mean answers are good eventually, but why rush the story ya know?
No I didn't. Cool- thanks for that!
Yeah. After my rewatch I was like Heck there's alot of loose ends here...

Your tags aren't spoilery at all :)
