+ Show Spoiler + I was surprised they were so fine with killing Dorium Maldovar (blueberry man). His role as a neutral character was good to connect a lot of the separate factions/arcs. He's also been protrayed as a cunning, intelligent character and well his death was less than that. | ||

Great job with the guess the producer did some private viewings for fans some weeks in advanced and some kid leaked the plot all over the internet, so i'm a little dubious that he was so accurate, but at the same time i sorta guessed that River was Amy's daughter quite a while ago too so note sure. | ||

+ Show Spoiler + Cybermen? More like cybernoobs! The doctor calls in like 4 favors and all of a sudden he roflstomps all over them? They're not even in charge? They just seem to be randomly involved and most of them die just to show the doctor "means business" about getting amy back? Did the writer expect us to forget every storyline that involved the cybermen ever? What's up with those favors he asked anyways? I was hoping for some kick-ass guest star action by people from previous seasons. I'm sure the doctor can call in more favors than I have fingers on my right hand, however counting his allies on the scene I guess I'm wrong. Also, even though I liked the nurse sautaron (Spelling?) all the other characters that came to help were not really mention worthy in my eyes. I think it was supposed to be a recognize-fest, however I caught myself going "who were those characters again?" most of the time. I was expecting a ton more from this episode, I figured Song wasn't Amy's daughter because that'd be too obvious, so the ending was a bit of an anti-climax. Not to mention the cybermen were just a small part of the plan, when I expected them to be behind the whole operation. And the disappointing amount of people showing up after calling in the favors it just feels like the story doesn't make a lot of sense. I even watched the confidential episode to see if I perhaps missed something, or to see if they might explain a bit futher on the paths taken, but no luck. | ||

Also, IIRC in the discussion leading up to River's death it was stated that not even the Dr could regenerate if he plugged himself in to the core, so River knocked him out and sacrificed herself. So no plot hole there. Edit: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Forest_of_the_Dead That is the 2nd part of that story, which I think is the 1st River appeared in. | ||

Something like this yeah. It should be a nice challenge to review all the episodes with River Song from end to begin just to have the same view as her ah hah. | ||

Coolest thing though is how Steven Moffat has been planning this out for so long and it just came to fruition. The guy is gonna win some awards for this I am sure. | ||

 Oh well this thread will be revived in september if it dies out rest assured  As a side note: Any classic series or story arcs I should go back and watch? I did see some of the episodes with the first doctor and enjoyed them to a certain extent though Susan made me stop watching the 1962 episodes and I saw only the episodes from 1961 and the first story from when the video had been lost. | ||

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. | ||

Was a bit disappointed they gave it away so easily and so early by showing the baby's name, which wouldn't have been so obvious if it hadn't been such a strong possibility at that point. Still think it was awesome, just not at all surprising and kinda made it drag on a bit in the end. So excited for the fall season now. | ||
