Doctor Who - A Good Man Goes to War

That was great fun, and was a suitably climactic mid-season finale to tide us over until the Doctor returns in the excellently titled Let's Kill Hitler!

I liked the steampunk lesbian duo (my Mum phoned at that point so I missed the bit about the Silurian having eaten Jack the Ripper, but thankfully picked up on it during Confidential) and I loved

Like various people on twitter, I want a spinoff series of the Siliurian lady and her maid. :D

My question is, how long has Moffat been planning this? River Song first appeared in that library episode with Tennant.

If I'm not mistaken, the girl in the spacesuit is Melody/River. She regenerates because she was conceived in the TARDIS. River as we know her is from the Doctor's future so probably at least one reincarnation away from the current baby. How she got into the spacesuit and why/how she shoots the (Ganger?) Doctor (and if it is her in the spacesuit that shoots the Dr) isn't quite clear yet.

Knowing Moffat, I expect he probably had some sort of ongoing story thread in mind for River right from day one.

I'm not sure if the girl in the suit is River. I think we're meant to assume it is, but that could be more misdirection. Only time will tell!
