[TV] Doctor Who - Page 13

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.

And once more, I'm completely stumped by the roflstomped cybermen in the beginning of the episode. It doesn't make sense whatsoever.

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.

We already know the fact she killed the greatest man in the world, but still I'm not that convinced that she killed the Doctor, or at least why she's in jail. 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.

Also, Rory has been upping up his game for quite some time now, and it seems likely that he will carry on kicking ass.

Both humans and time lords are known for acting illogical when hurt.

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

When they're investigating the child in 1969 River doesn't seem to know anything about it even though it's supposed to be her own past and given the traumatic nature of the events I don't think she would have just forgotten. The Silence was involved though, so who knows.

Exactly, which is why it's all...very very weird. Can't wait till September to see how Moffat is gonna tie everything together :>

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'

But River wasn't shooting right away. 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.

And killing herself wouldn't cause a paradox? The only sensible explanation is that she trusted the Doctor.
