Doctor Who was DELIGHTFUL.

My thoughts go as follows: River. River River River River River River River River River River River River River River River River River River River River River River River River River River River River River River River River River River River River River River River River River River River River River River River River River River River River River River River River River River River River River River River River River River River River River River River River River River River River River River River River River River River River River River River River River River River River River River River River River River River River River River River River River River River River...

Yeah. That. :)

(Having a lovely Christmas, will try to write a proper entry at some point.)

Alex Kingston stole the show and Capaldi was amazing! The way he looks at her after she realizes that he's him. FEELS!

i actually think of all the versions of the Doctor she's known, this was the best chemistry.

i kind of lost at at "hello, sweetie." *whimpers*

I loved it. I loved it. I loved 12 and River, they had an incredible dynamic that was everything I wanted it to be.

And even though its pretty much the opposite of the point of the episode, it just left me even more convinced that TWELVE NEEDS TO GET OFF HIS ASS AND RESCUE HER FROM THAT STUPID LIBRARY COMPUTER. RIVER!

*flails, runs around in circles, falls over*

Just too many feelings.

I miss 11. It's weird to see her without him.

12 is great. But 11 will always be my favorite.

I feel like I'm on an every-other doctor trend. Loved 9, was meh with 10, LOVED 11 and am happy enough with 12. I feel like 12 is more...monotone. He doesn't have the ups and downs of joy and sorrow that made 11 so compelling.

And I have a million River icons.

Yes, definitely the rewatches.

Well, on library river, I think it's fixed up until she's been in the computer for a while, but there's no reason she can't escape. (I've changed my mind, the Doctor shouldn't rescue her, I just want her breaking out to the consternation of the universe which was just starting to let its guard back down.) I don't expect this to actually ever happen, but that's my headcanon and I'm sticking to it.

ETA: I'm clinging to it like a teddy bear, I'm not actually that fierce on it, but otherwise I'd just be staring at the blank TV for the rest of the evening!

YOUR REACTION IS MY REACTION.

It was like Moffat said to himself, 'well if we can't give them the River spin-off series, I'll just write the episode with a Doctor guest appearance.'

It was awesome.
