conceptually the introduction of river song as a character fucking slaps and i’m never gonna get over it. like. imagine you meet someone for the first time, except she knows everything about you, even the things you’ve never told anyone before. she touches your face and looks at you like you hung the stars themselves. and then she sacrifices herself so you can live — “time can be rewritten,” you tell her, and she says, “not those times. not one line. don’t you dare.” you watch her die and it hurts in the strangest way, because you didn’t know her, not really. but you will, someday. all you can do is wait until your paths cross again.

Eleventh Doctor/River dynamic is so funny to me because it’s like. This milf he barely knows rolls up and starts calling him “darling” and “my love” and his response is to immediately turn his twink charm up as high as it will go

Doctor: Did you have to stab him?
River: You weren't there. You didn't hear what he said to me.
Doctor: What did he say?
River: "Bet you can't stab me"
Master: To be fair, I would have stabbed me too.
