Day of the Moon

 What? 

That pretty much covers it. I don't think I have enough coherent thoughts to make any more sense than that. 

Although that was most definitely not Cardiff! So beautiful and big. Love :)

Rory love. I do often want to hit Amy for not making sure he knows he's the one she wants. He's so sweet and caring and awwwww. And understanding. Even if I do wish he would stand up for himself a little bit.

Area 51 bit was pretty clever. Didn't see it coming until the very last second. Plus the Doctor has a beard.

Again River with the running against each other. What, he doesn't kiss her while he's crying that he's going to lose her? That plot hole annoys me because it makes River all about the Doctor. And she's not. She's independent and so doesn't follow him round like a little puppy dog living for the days he arrives. She just doesn't... Unless... she starts distancing herself? Because she knows what's coming? And the Doctor makes a quick jump back out of order to save her life? That could work...

 

Amy? Pregnant... not pregnant? The child? My head thought it must be Amy's child caused by TARDIS travel but who knows. Another part of my head thinks River, and the bit in between thinks both... then my head explodes... again.

 

I say again: WHAT?!

So confusing! It seems like we're gonna be confused an awful lot this season.

Rory love. I do often want to hit Amy for not making sure he knows he's the one she wants.
Agreed. I love Amy but really girl. You married a fantastic man. Let him know that once and a while.

What, he doesn't kiss her while he's crying that he's going to lose her?
Not sure what you're referring to. And I think River can still be strong and independent while fiercely loving the Doctor and looking forward to those times she sees him. Loving someone and letting them be a key part of your life doesn't have to be a weakness.

Still confused about the child thing. So many different places they could take this I don't even know where to start!

Not sure what you're referring to

Sorry, I mean in Silence in the Library when River is telling Ten about the last time she saw him he cried. (I think?)

I think it's something to do with the wording of 'living for the days' when she sees him. Like he is the only thing she lives for. That might just be me though!

Oh ok, I haven't watched that episode in a while. I think there's definitely a good chance he kissed her then. However, she hasn't gotten to that point in her timeline, and neither has he. So it may not be their real actual final kiss, but she knows that it's coming to an end since he's never kissed her before.

Yeah. I get where you're coming from there. To me, I think that she lives for seeing the Doctor and his adventures and being with him, etc. But I don't think that's the only thing she lives for. And frankly, I don't think that's much different than a lot of the companions. Look at Sarah Jane Smith in school reunion, talking about how she couldn't go back to a normal life after the Doctor. I think it's a similar thing. Yes, the Doctor is a huge part of River's life, but she's actually very independent in that relationship, and also often an instigator (sending him messages throughout time and space). If that makes any sense.

Exactly. Therefore they are not running opposite to each other and although that is the Doctors first kiss, it is not Rivers last, which she seems to think it is. However clearly I am wrapped up in this plot hole for some reason and will work on it not bothering me quite so much!

That's a very good point actually. I suppose it can be a thing to live for rather than the thing to live for.

Yeah. The way I think about it is when she says there's a last time for everything too, that's referring to a last time coming soon, not that one, even if she means that one. She doesn't know there will be another one.

Exactly. She may live for it, but that doesn't mean it completely defines her.

referring to a last time coming soon

Ah, OK, that would make sense I guess.

Why oh why does Moff take so much pleasure in confusion...

Keeps us watching though!

That it does!
