"1. It struck me today, that who River is, is more important than who she is in relation to the Doctor." Yeah, that first occurred to me when I was filling out Meweit's questionnaire about why I love River Song. There are two questions people ask about River Song and it goes in this order: 1.) Who is River Song? 2.) Who is she to the Doctor? I love that WHO she is has become more important than who she is to him. It puts her above what one would expect from a female character who was brought in just as a romantic interest. Even in interviews, people aren't asking, "Are we going to find out if River Song is the Doctor's wife?" People are asking, "Are we going to find out who River Song is?" That's just brilliant!

And thank you very much for the vid link!
