It's Moff day!
SO GOOD. I love Alex Kingston to bits, so I was always going to like this episode, but it was really properly good. It had some timey wimey messed up time line stuff that I always think is great.
There was old school stuff ALL OVER THE PLACE. River having a sonic was clearly a reference to Doctor/Romana. The Doctor never lands on a Sunday because they're boring. You know who yelled at him for taking her to Perivale on a Sunday because they're extra boring? MOTHERFUCKING ACE, that's who. You will not convince me that wasn't a call back.
Donna was fantastic, as usual. Kicking in the door, being awesome with the dead girl (Catherine Tate was wonderful in that scene), yelling about the sonic screwdriver not working on wood. She's so obviously doomed though. And River Song knows what horrible horrible thing is going to happen to her. PS: The Doctor stroking Donna's face was one of the best things ever. I ship them so hard it hurts.
Hey, did everyone notice in the creepy little girl's house there was a picture of a blonde woman above a picture of a wolf? Rose ref or coincidence, you decide.
So, I've come up with a few crack theories on who River Song is. Who wants to read them?
1. Before Jack becomes The Face of Boe he turns into a woman. Now hear me out. I know it doesn't match the whole, "you're younger than I've ever seen you" bit, but it's my crack theory and I'll ignore that if I want. She's got a squarey gun like Jack had, she's from the 51st century, she loves the Doctor, AND she called the Doctor to her using the psychic paper, just like the Face of Boe in New Earth. What more proof do you need? That theory makes at least as much sense as River Song being a regeneration of Rose.
2. She's a desendent of Donna. She's ginger, is awesome, and is involved with the Doctor. I HAVE GENETICS ON MY SIDE! You can't argue with science! Who else has ginger hair, besides Donna and Turlough? NO ONE. Ever. And she's obviously not related to Turlough in anyway, because then my crack theory wouldn't be true. THAT IS SOUND LOGICS. After HORRIBLE DOOMISH things that don't involve death happen to Donna, the Doctor becomes totally sketch and starts stalking all of Donna's desendants and eventually he meets River Song. He falls in love with her because she reminds him of Donna. Probably because she likes to slap him around. THIS IS IN NO WAY CREEPY.
3. The Doctor finds out he's not the last of the Time Lords. Again. This time he finds Romana, but the Time War drove her seriously crazy. So he fob watched her. He had the TARDIS give her his favorite aspects of all the companions he's wanted to shag. She's an archaeologist like Benny. We've already discussed the hair situation. And the 51st century Jackness. And um... She calls him sweetie and pretty boy, both nicknames like Ace calling him Professor. It makes PERFECT SENSE. And again, IS IN NO WAY CREEPY.
And now that I've gotten completely sidetracked from my comments on the episode, I'm just going to say it was AWESOME and I wish it was next Saturday now.

#2 - Who's to say she's not a descendant of Donna and Turlough, eh? Double the gingerness!
*checks watch* Darn it! Still not next week yet.

You have really good eyes O_O
Jack would be an awesome woman...

I guess. It was just sort of sitting there in the background and I noticed it.

someone on my flist pointed that out but i don't think that's Rose. The girl in the pic looked like she was wearing glasses. I can't tell if the drawing on the bottom is a wolf or a dog.

My theory was that that is Jack during the two years he's lost maybe? Or he briefly was a woman which is why he mentioned he was pregnant in the pilot of TW? Which of course would make the whole mpreg thing null and void, but I could live with that if ALEX KINGSTON IS THE FEMALE JACK HARKNESS.
And and, I've never seen the old Who eps, but she could be a Time Lord and like that hand that picks up the Master's ring at the end of the S3 finale?
Uhm. Can you tell I'm excited?

My personal favorite theories (that are slightly less cracky) are that she's the villain of the week (and just making everything up about their future), or that some timey-wimey stuff happens and they end up not meeting in the future.
Poor Donna. As much as I love her, and want her babies, I almost felt like she wasn't given enough to do in this episode. It started out all Doctor/Donna bonding, and than River showed up and took over. *pets Donna* She better turn out alright Doctor, or you're going to have to answer to some people!
The only real disappointment for me in the episode was that I wasn't as scared as I wanted to be. Dr. Moon has me REALLY intrigued, and ahhhh. I think the second part is going to be WAY scarier! YAY!

I read someone's theory that River is the villain of the week and that the diary that she has is really the Doctor's biography from the library and she's using that to tell him things about the future. I thought that was interesting.

GACK. I really like that theory. It would be SO Whovian to pull that stupid random bit about landing in biographies and make it all important. Not to mention it would tie to that god theme they're pushing this year *eye roll*
