Doctor Who
The Wedding of River Song- Season 6 Episode 13- by: Steven Moffat
Warning: huge spoiler!!!!
I absolutely love this episode! This episode is probably one of the most complex episodes of the new series of Doctor Who (so this episode is really hard to explain, so, sorry). I now I might upset some fans, but I love River Song, his companion.
The episode starts out with the Doctor heading to his death, and the one who kills him is, none other than, River Song! I know this sounds like River is evil, but trust me she is awesome. River is being manipulated by an organization called The Silence, who are determined to destroy the Doctor. River decides not to kill him,but in doing this she messes up time. This is where it gets weird, she rewritten permanent moment in time, she was meant to kill him. Time is now all jumble, for example Winston Churchill is the Holy Roman Emperor of a future Britian with the Doctor as his soothsayer. This, to me, did not seem so bad, I mean, the Doctor did not die and the new world they are in seems at peace. Then it is revealed that the world is slowly destroying itself, this is really bad not only because time is collapsing but the Doctor has a very limited time to find River, and try to make River kill him. River is in a pickle, for one, she loves the Doctor and does not want to be his murderer, but she also knows the world will be destroyed if the Doctor lives. The Doctor finds out a way to get her to kill him, they get married! *Squeal* This is the moment that those who like River died of love. The Doctor does this only partly to convince her, but really he does this because he also loves her and knows this might be the last time in a long time he will see River. In this moment she realizes that this is not the Doctor physical body, but that the real Doctor is in a robot body of himself. Confusing, I know, but it makes more sense when you wacth it. When he kisses the bride they all go back to the real world, and River knowing that she is not killing him, she kills the Doctor robot. Yay! The Doctor is alive!

So, now I want to address this hate River Song deal. Everyone has a right to their opinions, but those who hate River only seem to see one side. To understand this, you have to understand when the Doctor regenerates he has a completely different personality. To those who do not wacth this show and are reading this for fun, regeneration happens when the Doctor is dying, it is basically his genetic structure chancing which makes him almost like a new man. This goes back to Rose and the Tenth regeneration of the Doctor, those to were like soulmates. Suddenly the Doctor meets River, and they also seemed like soulmates. But with River the Doctor was in his Eleventh regeneration, so he was almost completely different from his Tenth regeneration. So, what I believe, and most who feel the way I do, River is not stealing the Doctor from Rose, but yet River is to Eleven as Rose is to Ten. But you are entitled to any option you wish.
