(I really liked how cool she was about meeting the Doctor smack out of nowhere. Since I doubt she's going to make it out of the two-parter alive, I really want to see a fic where she and the Doctor keep running into each other as she's investigating history and he's saving the future. It would be fun!)
They were pimping River Song awfully hard throughout this, which makes me wonder, like everyone else, how good her chances are for getting out of next ep alive.
Especially since the Ood said "Every song must end." Urk.
Btw, have you ever read "The Time Traveler's Wife"? A lot of people were pointing out similarities to it. Some people didn't like the book and hated it, some people liked the book and therefore hated the episode, and some people loved the book and therefore loved the episode, heh. (I'm in the last group.)
I've had TTTW recced to me a few times, but no, I've never read it. But I really like the idea of them meeting each other randomly and repeatedly throughout the courses of their lives, that's pretty damn cool. And I hope River's death, if it does happen, doesn't unravel their timeline or anything.
I know! I don't want their timeline to be unraveled either, apart from it meaning it would save the Doctor from the angst of knowing from the very start of the relationship that she's doomed. Though I'm rewatching it just now, actually, and you know how she looks in his eyes and says he's younger than he's ever looked? I had the thought that remembering her death every time he looks at her (in his future) would certainly make him look old. --;
On a lighter note, I saw a comment wishing that TTTW similarities extended to the main character running through the library naked. Heh.

I'm sorry, what were you saying?
(But seriously, I liked the ep, and am betting on River Song being ether the next companion or some long-lost relation the Doctor doesn't have yet.)
