I have now seen all the River Song episodes of Doctor Who, and OH, HELL, YES!!! Count me among those who have fallen head over heels for the mysterious Dr. Song

I suspect I may at some point go back and watch all the eps of season 5. But I'm not so sure I'll go back and watch the adventures of Nine and Ten. Maybe Nine, someday, if I feel like it. But David Tennant's crazy eyes sort of freak me out, to be honest.

However, if I only ever watch the Adventures of River Song, I suspect I'll have no real regrets!

Ooh, I quite like 'Girl in the Fireplace' too! And I was popping in to recommend 'Blink' as a good Ten-era episode that's almost Ten-free. (Plus the Weeping Angels make their first appearance!) Though it makes me wish that Sally Sparrow could go and have more awesome adventures--she's one of the most memorable one-epi characters.

(Ahahaha, this icon really fits pellucid's description of crazy eyes.)

The Weeping Angels are just SO MUCH SCARIER in "Blink".
THEY REALLY, REALLY ARE! GAH! It's one of my favorite episodes ever, but sheesh! Pillow-grabbing, spine-tingling fear! (Okay, it doesn't work quite as well now that I've watched it a few times, but still!)

You're absolutely right about Moffatt having a hand in many of the best RTD-era episodes.

Moffat did write The Empty Child - he wrote both episodes of that two-parter. So your record is unblemished! (And I agree, he did write all the best episodes of the RTD era!)

I have FOUR! I spent at least an hour icon-hunting last night!
