The Doctor’s First Stars.

Here we have the brilliant Steven Moffat. Unpopular opinion or not, I love the way he thinks about revealing the answers, about making everything so complicated. Sure, he’s the ultimate troll, he plays with our minds, but isn’t this why we like him so much?

Taken from Doctor Who Confidential for “A Good Man Goes to War” {*}

So I was watching A Good Man Goes To War on BBC iPlayer the other day and from that episode as we know River is Amy & Rory’s daughter and she was taken away from them and was brought up in what is assumed to be the Gamma Forest which is why she is called River Song and not Melody Pond because there isn’t a word for Pond in their language ‘the only water in the Forest is the River’. If we put into consideration what that soldier said (her name escapes me) that in her language (the Gamma Forest), Doctor means Warrior. SO since that it means that River isn’t a proper “Doctor” but Warrior River Song. I’m sure I’m not the only one that clocked that, some nerdy fucks probably clocked it straight away but you know, I’m slow. 

That’s an interesting point.  It didn’t occur to me because I think of her as Professor River Song, Archaeologist… so “Dr. Song” didn’t even hit my radar since it translates in my head to meaning PhD…..   but maybe she was “Doctor River Song” long before she became “Dr. River Song”… from warrior to professor?  Certainly worth pondering!

Very interesting, this is of course assuming she got her title of “Doctor” from the Gamma Forests

#This scene tears me to shreds every time I see it. You know why? Because Amy Pond is all grown up. She has a child and a husband and other people in her life besides herself to think about. And while that would usually be a good thing it’s not for her because Amy Pond- whimsical, happy, Amy Pond- can’t trust her imaginary friend because the people in her life have been endangered because of him. And she just can’t. For that moment, her instincts overrun how much she cares about the Doctor and all she can do is cling on to Rory- real, wonderful Rory- and sob. What kind of horrible, inhuman creatures would do this to a new mother? She was just had her CHILD ripped from her arms. Twice. And somewhere, in her heart of hearts, she knows that this is the Doctor’s world colliding with her own. And grown-up Amy Pond loves Rory and Melody too much to be ok with that. And it kills both of them.

that tag so true.
