So, yeah, according to some people in fandom, this comm is a den of character and RTD bashing, and us mods all hate on River Song.

Go figure.

Anyway, HBIC is coming back, and we may finally get to find out who she really is in the Doctor's life. <3

I know there is lots of excitement for her return, from a lot of people, so get your River love on in ( Read more... )

I'm a bit new, so if there's been hatin', I ain't seen none. ;)

But whatevs, RIVER LOVE. Their last meeting was so uncertain; I'm looking forward to watching Eleven really fall for her. And vice versa.

Welcome, bb!

We love new people, always a pleasure! ♥

I'm beside myself now, I really need to know who she is to him, cos I'm sure Moff once said it was more complicated than being his wife/lover. :D

I'll be honest, I hated her when she first appeared. It's not because she was "getting in the way of my ship" because I don't even ship Ten/Rose, and it's not because she's a smart woman and I'm a dumb girl so I don't want the fictional competition for a fictional alien who is as handsome as David Tennant.
There was just something about her that I didn't like, and it was probably something irrational. It didn't help that a lot of fandom hates her and I probably latched onto that and developed even more hate for her than I already had.

Now, however, after all this speculation, I started coming around to the idea of her coming back. The first appearance was annoying because she just showed up out of nowhere and was like "o hai, i'm ur most special friend ever!" but if we actually get to see her story, I'm wondering if I actually might grow to love her. At the very least, I'm sure I'll like her ( ... )

I'm sort of the same, in that I didn't paticularly *care* she was hittin' on the Doctor ('cause frankly, I'd be *so much* worse) or "disrupting" the shipping (...and now we return you to normal broadcasting. Sorry.).

I just didn't like her *timing* (or role) in the story. I dunno. But I've since seen that I'm looking *forward* to her and ll! I think 10/River didn't mesh at all, whilst I feel 11 will be up for whatever River (or Amy, or Rory) throw at him!

*That ll was meant to be 11! They look the same in the comment mode, I'm sorry!!

I had to LOL so hard at the haters. They've been confusing this welcoming, accepting comm with some other hellish fandom place.

Like sharkshark said above me, my gut reaction to River Song was dislike. I was pissed that she was taking away screentime from the awesomeness of Donna. NOBODY PUTS DONNA IN A CORNER.

Plus, River was SO mysterious to us, it almost defied any understanding of her character. I'm really excited to see how Moff develops her going forward. I hope he has something really good up his sleeve.

IKR? XD

yeah, the Donna cornering was what pissed on my bonfire. But then Rusty pissed on Donna's bonfire forever, so i fell totally free to love on River now.

Oh the intrigue! I need answers now kthx.

I'm so stoked she's coming back, I really didn't want the two series 4 eps to be the only time we saw her.

I liked River a lot! Specially, I loved her dynamic with Ten(nant) and the hints we got of Doctors to come. There was so much unexplored, so much left unsaid, and such (tragic) elegance to their final meeting being also the first, that I fell in love with the idea of Doctor/River despite (or maybe because of?) seeing so little of them on screen.

Now, the question is whether she can have the same kind of chemistry with Eleven. I am not going to lie, I am terribly amused by the age gap between the actors, considering the Doctor is in fact a lot older! Let's hope they make it work - I thought Kingston and Tennant had good chemistry, I hope she can work just as well with Matt.
