+ Show Spoiler + Interesting that people are saying River is in jail for killing the Doctor and equating that to the spaceman shooting him. Her killing the greatest man who ever lived, it's hard to see that as anyone but the Doctor. But I still think that happens when she is older. By all accounts the spacesuit contained a child, which seemed to have escaped and regenerated soon afterwards in New York. If the child was the one to kill the Doctor, would it be right to sentence the child to life imprisonment? The future has no concept of an age of majority? I'm not sure if River is the one in the spacesuit when it killed the Doctor. Dunno, I think there's more to this to come. Also, at the guy who didn't like the favours the Doctor called in - seriously? I want to see a whole series on the steampunk adventures of the lizard lady and her maid. They were awesome! Really hoping to see them more often. | ||

Really hoping to see them more often. They barely stood out to me, I thought the nurse sautaron was way more awesome. Characters like the lizard lady and her maid appear in every other episode. Which is exactly why I barely remembered who she is. When the doctor calls in favors I expect something like what the doctor's enemies did last season's final episode. + Show Spoiler + And once more, I'm completely stumped by the roflstomped cybermen in the beginning of the episode. It doesn't make sense whatsoever. | ||

Way I see it River is born, raised as a weapon, kills the old doctor at a young age, then meets a slightly younger doctor who seduces her and takes her on a journey through time and space, she learns who she is and who she killed, more journeying while the doctor gets younger until the doctor finally meets her in the forest of the dead and she dies. + Show Spoiler + I initially thought this but then surely the River that is present with Rory/Amy would remember this. Instead she seemed pretty convincingly distraught and was even shooting the Astronaut. | ||

She seems to go in/out of her cell when she wants, I believe she's in it because she wants to be in it, to be forgiven maybe ? I think of Rory because "the greatest man in the world" exactly is something a girl could call her father. | ||

But yeah, she seemed to be fairly relaxed the hours before it happened. | ||

The Silence was involved though, so who knows. | ||

This show is titled "Doctor Who" and for a good reason. "Doctor" is his name in the series. It is what he is called....not his title. Much like having a normal name like Jane or George. So what im saying is you spelled his name and the title of the show wrong. Not a big deal of course but for some reason it really jumped out at me xD | ||

+ Show Spoiler + nazgul monks, crossspecies lesbians (not that I'm complaining ^^), the double flesh trap, the gay anglican marines (also rather classy, but still more farce than wit), rounded off with a double helping of the 'brave death scene' and all that set off by the end announcement of "doctor who returns next season in 'let's kill hitler' " I guess it was supposed to be all momentous and epic and emotional, but when that popped up I just burst out laughing and couldn't stop for about five minutes. I love doctor who for the british sassy, absurdist humor and the episode delivered more so than usual (the sontaran nurse was incredible) but everything about this season has been psychological and freaky, from the silence to the asteroid to the flesh. Throwing in a classic Dr who romp at the end seemed a little... off. | ||

She held Amy back after the Doctor was shot the first time, and only fired herself once the astronaut was leaving. She would be distraught if she knew and was only barred from action by the paradox it would cause. On June 08 2011 09:41 kzerg04 wrote: This show is titled "Doctor Who" and for a good reason.

The only sensible explanation is that she trusted the Doctor.
