The Doctor/River Song Ship/Appreciation Thread (Spoilers for all aired episodes)

Dark Water

Spoiler:

Yeah, I was on tenterhooks too, I think I would have cried if Missy had turned out to be River. I have to keep reminding myself that SM loves River, that she is entirely his creation and that he would never harm her. It's like he's a jealous lover or something.

I am intrigued by these little references to River that keep her memory alive. "River Belle" in the newspaper in Deep Breath, the argument that led the Doctor going to live with otters from The Caretaker, and now this. No other companion is being referenced this way (that I've noticed anyway). There are no tantalising hints this series about Amy or Rory or Rose or Sarah Jane Smith. Just these tiny glimpses of River. It makes her special and I like that.

But she is special I read this tumblr post where they are discussing whether Danny will be saved or not since he's dead and trapped, and they made a parallell to how River is also dead and trapped:

River’s body was completely destroyed. She’s in a matrix of her own that is actually meant to simulate heaven, Danny’s isn’t. And we saw how impossible River is, she creates her own reality and goes out to have brunch with her friends. So she’s hardly trapped.

Well I was disappointed about the kiss.

But while looking through my screencaps I saw something that I didn't see on watching the episode.

The Doctor has special places where he keeps the TARDIS key. One of them was inside his copy of The Time Traveller's Wife.

In The Name of the Doctor

"I died saving him. In return, he saved me to a database in the biggest library in the universe. Left me like a book on a shelf."








Oh Doctor.

I DIDN'T NOTICE THAT!!!!!!!!!!

*runs around screaming*

Thanks, Blen!

One part humorous, one part tragically sad...

I love that thought!


Spoilers for Dark Water (just in case):

Spoiler:

I'm seeing a lot of Clara hate out there, but I don't feel that way about her. I hope that Danny can be saved and she can be with him again. I wonder if part of the continuing plot will involve extracting him from that Timelord orb-thing and downloading him into the Library???

The kiss was hilarious because we all know how horrified he is by touching/hugging, so...I'm surprised he didn't have an aneurysm on the spot. LOL

[Blencathra]

Thank you.

And yes, that would work,

Spoiler:

downloading Danny to the Library. Yes..... that would work very nicely.

Surely it can't be a coincidence that the Matrix and the Library are so similar? Hopefully they are so similar that if Danny can't be restored, he can go to the Library.

Especially the upcoming round when we're probably up against Catriona. The Outlander fans have really mobilized.

The stockings were hung on the TARDIS with care...





yep. that's at my house.

[Blencathra]

That's lovely!! I'm envious!

I have a TARDIS bauble on my tree. I'm after a red dalek bauble, but they seem to have sold out here in the UK.

[Blencathra]

Ohhh!! This is lovely!!

Ok, here I am working on on a fic- when I have time - and I can't find the short where they're caught in the the rain. Anyone have it handy handy?
