Ooh! Other Dave and Anita survived!!! Great!
And Donna has found out that the Doctor is hiding something from her!

River died without telling the Doctor his name. So that means that 11 isn't going to marry her. Will it change the whole future for the Doctor? Because he knows now that he has to prevent future companions to "mate" (unless they use protection) on board the TARDIS.
Amy won't have a daughter that was conceived on the TARDIS, so no Silents are going after the Doctor. And that also means no Kovarian? No message on a Diamond Cliff on Planet One? No Big BangII? No exploding TARDIS? No cracks in the universe?
Assuming Trenzalore will still happen, how will the Doctor enter his giant TARDIS if River's grave isn't there with the secret entrance?
Will 12 have a completely different existence? Will he even be able to warn 10 against River? Will the cycle not start over again?

So many questions.... :D

River's time-line was a flipping mess. A lot of the problems were, I feel, caused by her actions to begin with. And without the Silents' rouge chapter going after the Doctor, it's possible that what caused Clara's sacrifice to be necessary isn't anymore. The universe and Time would compensate around a lot, and my beta and I didn't particularly care to get into greater depth about the time between Ten and Twelve here.

A paradox, yes, but a healing one. Loads of questions that wouldn't be necessary had a few continuity checks been done in canon. At least, that's my opinion. :)

I kept imagining them in an episode of Scooby Doo as Donna floated along.....
Anyway, Anita and Other Dave didn't deserve to die so it was good to see them survive after all.
Blimey, River really got her comeuppance, didn't she! Not that I'm heartbroken about it, but she served her purpose in a much better way and we wouldn't get all the stupidity that later happened in the Doctor's life.

*giggles* I bet the others would've thought of it had they known about Scooby Doo. :D

None of them did, but... it seemed I couldn't avoid a few deaths. To heighten the danger.

Well, given everything I've seen, she didn't do a lot to exactly earn redemption or compassion. And yes avoiding that stupidity will help tons.
