      That's actually one of the things I've always loved about Moffat's writing. He was never afraid to play around with time travel paradoxes and the like. Other writers always ignored that sort of thing, treating time travel as though it has no more quirks or consequences than driving across town does.

    I think that this a very defining scene for the tenth doctor. Not in that its the beginning of the river song story line, but I think that its a good representation of where he's going.
    The tentg doctor is, i think, extremely prideful. His reasoning in the beginning of the video is that "I'm so clever i must of figured out a way to save her". Of course he's right, he's the doctor, and he is every bit as clever and amazing as he thinks he is, but its the ego that is the tenths downfall. He continues along this path of egotistical thinking, and then when he has no Donna, no rose, no Martha to help balance him out, the ego takes over, the timelord victorious.
    Which I always found a very compelling concept, especially in the way that Tennant played it, the timelord victorious was not happy, but cold and brutal. A life he had just resigned himself too, no longer the doctor but the ruler.

      Of course he's right, he's the doctor, and he is
      every bit as clever and amazing as he thinks he is,

      continues along this path of egotistical thinking,
      and then when he has no Donna, no rose, no
      Martha to help balance him out, the ego takes
      over, the timelord victorious.

      especially in the way that Tenant played it, the

      longer the doctor but the ruler.

      I think that this a very defining scene for the tenth
      doctor. Not in that its the beginning of the river
      song story line, but I think that its a good
      representation of where he's going.
      The tent doctor is, i think, extremely prideful. His
      reasoning in the beginning of the video is that "I'm
      so clever i must of figured out a way to save her",
      Of course he's right, he's the doctor, and he is
      every bit as clever and amazing as he thinks he is,

I felt the history in her before it ever got laid out, and I felt her love, frustration, and awe towards The Doctor shining through the whole thing.

I always admired Moffat’s writing when playing with time travel: the Eleventh Hour, the set up of the Tardis exploding, the Pandorica season ending, Clara’s ubiquitous appearances in episodes prior to her becoming 11’s actual companion, but this takes the cake. The culmination of all Moffat’s talents: introducing a character and killing her off at the same time while setting up her entire story arc that would go on to span the next two doctors. And he got all the emotions right, years before viewers could possibly understand the significance and sadness of this moment. Absolute genius

      *scoffs* You know,to me,I Always believed it is better to save lives than to let them die..also,Why @ 2:15 did River acted so pissed? Her Life was saved,she`s in Veritable Heaven,She`s SAFE,With Friends,Why is She complaining? But to touch on her acting like it`s wrong to do your damnedest to save Lives: WHY? Why is it so terrible?

    It's Ironic that this is the firat time The Doctor meets River, but the last time she'll seem him. "How long is a night on Duriliam?" "24 years"
    (I don't know how to spell Duriliam)

  • @Juliet-Belcouleur

    When River Song is narrating, it is making me realize how much the reality of travelling in time is cruel.
    The Doctor can give us time and space, a thing that blows our mind, we are wondered and astonished by travelling with him.
    Yet, someday, we don't know when, we'll have to parted somewhere else, far from him, because he asked, because he decided, because he had no other choices, because we won't be able to follow him anymore.
    Many reasons for one result we still don't like.
    I just wished i could travel with him forever or no meeting him at all. Because i'm too afraid of seperating from him, the man who brings storm and yet needs to got is hard-shell broken for is own good.

    I know we're gonna see River again! Because there are a few things left unexplained and unseen -- How did River hear about Donna Noble, Picnic at Asguard, Singing Towers and of course we're awaiting to see the scene where the Doctor gives her his sonic screwdriver... That sonic looked nothing like Matts so it could be Capaldi's! Or the Thirteenth Doctors cos we saw Capaldi use Matts screwdriver on the filming of series 8!

    • @DodgerWho
      @DodgerWho 10 років тому +4

      The Singing Towers when she got the screwdriver was in a minisode which was quite disappointing

      SPOILERS! Well later in the series Donna saves the entire universe. All of the worlds know about what she did. So it makes sense that River knows of Donna Noble's name...

    Its the way it all fits together that makes it so epic. The river song timeline, the face of boe reveal, stuff like that. It takes years for us as the audience to put the pieces together but when we do its flawless and emotional. When doctor who is at its best like this there is nothing better on television.

    That moment of pure, elated, heart-soaring ecstasy when Murray Gold's score hits its crescendo, the Doctor 'saving' River just in time, smiling back at CAL.

    'No sir... all thirteen!' for next Thursday would be awesome!
