Sorry if ive caused any confusion, Im a newbie with an inferior phone that limits what I can see. Im on a slightly better phone presently, also was having a dense moment because of course there is already a Who thread, I should have thought of that.
Edit: Mr Carnelian, feel free to post a reply any time it doesnt have to be precisely the same reply you were going to send

No worries, mate. That's what us mods are here for!
Awww
Well River was infinitely less smug in this one which made a nice change.
"Excuse me Miss, do you like pineapple?"
I haven't watched Doctor Who for a couple of seasons, so I wasn't paying a ton of attention to most of it. Also, I was really unhappy they brought River back AGAIN. But I like that this is definitively her last episode. There is no where else for River to go. The end made me a bit weepy.

I'm the guy who needs a flowchart (I like how they lampshaded that) with River Song episodes so I'm always filled with trepidation when she appears, as I fear I'll get confused.
But anyway, I really enjoyed that. Light-hearted, but with an increasing emotional edge as it draws towards the last third. The limited space diary was really sad, but it did get a happy, if bittersweet, ending, with the 24 years spent together.
Yeah, I like that they got to experience time together as a proper married couple, as well as River was able to be with a (physical) Doctor who was more her age.
Looking back, River has a right to be pissed at the Doctor. They never actually got to spend any more than a day (a day fraught often with danger) with the Doctor, and so it was great that they were able to actual time together, that wasn't spent saving the world or righting wrongs. It makes sense that she felt the Doctor didn't love her. Where was he?
The Doctor having his 'bigger on the outside' moment was pretty fun, as well.
Firstly, he's the Doctor. Every day of his is fraught with danger. Every day of River's is fraught with danger. They both enjoy it. Also if you remember he asked her to travel with him and she specifically told him no, her place is in prison.
By the seven hells, how many times do I have to explain it to you before you get it! It's really not that complicated, you know. Grumble.
River Song is getting her own spin off, only it's not going to be on TV. It's an audio one by Big Finish. Though there's also a DW spin off that's going to be on BBC this year titled 'Class'.
Awww but you kinda wanna see the stunning beauty that is Alex Kingston :-(
So, just a Christmas special this year, then Moffat's last series in 2017, then new showrunner Chris Chibnall in 2018:

We're finally getting a new showrunner? About bloody time. I know people who wished Moffat had bowed out years ago.
