On introduction; she knows all about the doctor, knows how to use a sonic screwdriver and fly a TARDIS better than him with no explanation. And is incredibly arrogant and smug about the whole thing and is just generally unpleasant to watch.
Later it turns out she soo special and awesome, she's the doctor's wife! And the kid of his companions! And a time lady for some stupid reason!
If this was a fanfiction would righty be derided as a mary sue character, with ridiculous amounts of skills and accomplishments and basically that the episode shoves down you throat and said 'oh yes. You find this women cool and awesome! Without ever establishing her credentials, without ever making me actually care for her at all.
But since she was written by the showrunner suddenly its all alright.
eta: It's like take Rory. At first he's a bit of a dweeb but a generally good person. At the end of his first series. He's the frikken awesome last centurion.( Making everyone else's boyfriends look bad)
Now imagine if we'd just jumped into the last centurion with no real intro, never having seen him before. It would be silly and you wouldn't know why you were supposed to care about him or find him awesome at all.sigpic

Urgh. My internet crashed and lost the detailed reply I'd written. Suffice to say:
1) That being 'the point' doesn't make River likable or watchable.
2) What 'depth' does River have again?
3) I can tell, in fact I am telling you right now. I cried at neither of those scenes. They tried but not matter how much Murray gold they blare at me, it just ain't happening.sigpic

Originally posted by skydawn View PostI'm not going to lie, this season has definitely been a favorite for me, so much River!! But this episode capped it off. I'm a little bit late; I just now finished "The Wedding of River Song". It was amazing, and helped me understand so much. I love the almost "star-crossed" love between River and the Doctor, and seeing it come to this AMAZING climax made me smile. I am definitely a fan of River and the Doctor as a couple, and hope *fingers crossed* that we will see even more of it in the upcoming season.
PS - If there already has been more in the new season, please, no "SPOILERS"!!!Check me out at http://www.fanfiction.net/u/1223365/Aerilon452sigpic

Originally posted by skydawn View PostAgreed!Though I wouldn't refer to them as an actual "married" couple, but definitely a couple. Madame Kovarian, "Do I have to watch all the flirting?!" And Amy did say that River was the only person he ever allowed to talk to him like that, in one of the Angels episodes. They do have great chemistry.Check me out at http://www.fanfiction.net/u/1223365/Aerilon452sigpic

I'm still not sure what I think about River. I like her, yes. I enjoy watching the episodes she's in. Her speeches, her flirting with the doctor... all quite abusing, sometimes even touching and their first/last kiss, might be one of the best kissingscense I'v ever seen. Still though.... I' don't know... There is something, that's not realy convincing. I just can't tell, what it is.Nobody asked me, if I wanted to live. So don't anyone tell me how I shoul lead my life.

River Song and the Angels are what got me interrested into Doctor Who in the first place. I have to say that Rivers Character does have some Depth to her Character. Though I have to admit that I am going through this Series "River Song Style". So I witnessed most events in her order and not the Doctors. I have to say that every Actor did a great Job in portraying that Journey. When I arrived at the Library I felt really sorry for River since I knew the Day had come where her Dear Doctor wont recognize her.
What I am trying to get at is that her Depth is not what we have seen but the infinity of possibility ahead.
