tencrushSHE'S HIS FUCKING WIFE!!
She's not Rose, she's not Jenny, she's not the Rani, she's not Romana. River Song is the Doctor's wife from the future. She's going to die in the next episode. He will spend all that time with her, doing all that funstuff in her diary, knowing precisely how and when she will inevitably die.
Paradoxes, inevitability, fate, curse of a Time Lord... Jesus Christ to hear fandom talking you'd think they'd never seen a Moffat episode before.
EDITED TO ADD SOMETHING I POSTED IN THE COMMENTS: I don't understand what everyone's so worked up about, she's not the next companion, she's his lover/wife from some point in the future. We'll more than likely never see her again. It's about time travel and the weirdness involved. It's about the Doctor losing the woman he loves, BEFORE HE LOVES HER. It's about her dying in the arms of a man WHO DOESN'T LOVE HER YET. It's a timey-wimey Moffat story, nothing more.
Moffat's apparent fascination with the mechanics of time travel make me tremendously excited about his tenure as boss. I think if Moffat does go for any sort of overriding story arc, it will be far more clever than Rusty's namechecking "Torchwood" every bloody episode, and will probably deal with the same themes he seems so fond of, fixed history, inevitability of events, consequences of past and future actions. I'm excited about Moffat, really I am.

Date: 2008-06-03 09:29 am (UTC)Seeing as Ten is such an emo ball of masochism, the fact that River Song is very likely to die during his first meeting with her, I think, makes it make more sense that he would get caught up in that relationship, whether or not he intends to do so. In a way, I suppose, it'd almost like he got all the hurt out right at the beginning--he's seen her die, so he knows that any more meetings will be all wibbly wobbly timey wimey and not end in her dying (well, probably. I'm sure he could always inadvertently create a horrible paradox if he was careless).
Anyway, I'm mostly wondering what "saved" means, and worrying about Donna. Not going to go around reading the speculations, though. I already regret reading the River Song spoilers and not getting to just find out when I saw it.
