    So the Doctor gives River the screwdriver... which he does because he remembers saving her by getting her saved data to the computer, an idea he got by seeing the screwdriver, given to her by him, which had already saved her data because he remembered that order to save her, he needs to save her data, so that he can save her one day by using her saved data, which he already did, because he realized he was clever, in saving her.

    1:34 - What I love about this moment is that the production team have clearly put effort into this prop. It would have been so quick and easy to just nab the original Future Sonic prop they used in the Library story and stick it in a box. But no, they either created a new one or cleaned up the original prop so it looks brand new. Not only is it nice that they bothered to do so, it hints that River has more adventures ahead for the sonic to get all battered up as we see it later. Brilliant!

    I love how people thought that there was a plot hole in season 4 when River met David Tennant. There was no plot hole. Moffat knew that he needed to introduce her first, but because both lives are back to front she had to die in that episode. Her timeline is just completed in this episode. I think he knew from the start where he wanted this to go. It couldn't be Matt Smith who did this because that's the first doctor she met. It had to be the next one. Sometimes Moffat can be a genius.

      That's not why River doesn't have her body. Her body died. They didn't just say "oh, you don't need that meat anymore so we'll just rip you out of it". And it's not really her mind. It's a copy of her mind. And you DO need a body. If ANYTHING happens to that planet, River's trapped there. If something messes with the computer code, she could be corrupted beyond repair. It's a lot easier to mess up software than it is to mess up a brain.

    The thing that I love about River and The Doctor is just how much they get each other, especially River. I like the way the show it here with 12 and her, and her comment of “doctor you have no idea if I look amazing or not.... well, thanks for trying.” It’s simple and sweet and in no way mocking, she just knows that to The Doctor, looks are not what he sees. I always remember him and Clara and him not noticing her dressed up or wearing make up and while it proved funny, it showed that Clara didn’t know him on the same level that River does. She loves him regardless if anything, even him noticing her, which is brilliantly composed in the previous scenes before the crash. But he also loves her, in his own way maybe, but he does as shown by him trying to say that she looks amazing even if he doesn’t really know, or more importantly I think, doesn’t see any difference in her from when she’s dressed in pants and a jacket to a dress because to him she is always amazing. I just really love these two and will forever ship River and 12!

    If you pay attention, everytime they refer to a previous event, they often relly it with the same theme song, here for example, when the doctor scans river to adjust the screw driver ( and the survival chipset inside ) to her they use the " biggest library "'s theme song. I will always love that show for that kind of details

    I can't imagine what it must've been like for the Doctor all those years. Knowing the one person he had given his heart to in millennia was destined to die and he could not interfere with what was a fixed point in time. But it wasn't just because of the rules, but because she asked him not to before she sacrificed herself in the library. To honor his wife's final wish, he had to endure that knowledge during their entire courtship. It's the equivalent of a spouse or family member given a terminal diagnosis and the clock is always running against you. Not fair at all. Peter does a fantastic job and his emotional range in this scene. The whimsy and jovial nature gives way to sadness and regret when river is not looking.

    I love how neatly this tied up her timeline. You can even see that her new screwdriver is made from the remains of the 10th Doctor's screwdriver, meaning that, yes, in the Library she does have the same screwdriver as the 10th Doctor. Literally the same screwdriver. I assume the Doctor kept the remains after it broke in "The Eleventh Hour" and modified it later for River.

The Doctor and his wife. The end of the story.

    This is a reminder of love being for the sake of love. Clara revered the doctor and was somewhat infatuated with 11, but upon his change she saw what the doctor really was, not bound by her laws. River upon every arrival never batted an eye at the doctors incarnation. She treated him with an initial indifference, poking him to reveal his exciting and sometimes mischievous nature, almost getting past each face and cutting past the ego he could upkeep with companions, and saw that through each change. Amy would have struggled with twelve, maybe ten, maybe nine, rose would have struggled with eleven and definitely 12. River didn’t care, she saw it was the same man. Those are the kind of people you want in your life. Change or a motivation, people who want to be there, with you.

    Notice the first thing he does is scan River before putting the sonic back in the box. That is the scan for the library...
