Doctor Who

How, HOW, did that go completely unguessed?

Also, people under the rain band, I'm sorry. I'm so sorry.

For someone with an English degree, I can be rubbish at spotting the obvious - I've said before that I failed to notice Jean Brodie was a fascist. But also I was lead astray by the fact that the teenyweeny people of LKH were the moral equivalent of mid-ranking Nazis.

Goodness knows about the Doctor and River. I think if I were her I'd be really, really angry about having to spend my life in prison for a murder I didn't commit. Why can't the Doctor fake her death and let her out?

I love the Silence in the library idea!

I suspect the Doctor of thinking that actually, the universe is a damn sight safer with River Song safely locked up; she has basically been trained from birth to be a psychopathic killer and I don't think her conversion to the Doctor's side has changed that (she was, after all, prepared to let everybody else in the universe die rather than live with the pain of knowing she'd killed the Doctor, which seems pretty psychopathic to me).

Of course, it may also be that she's safer in prison; the teenyweeny people may not be the only ones who think she deserves more than prison for killing the Doctor, after all.

The Doctor may well be right re. River Song being dangerous, but she's not alone - the Doctor was willing to change a fixed point in time so he didn't have to feel bad about the death of Adelaide Brook? That said, lots of [beings] would like to see the Doctor locked up!

I have decided to erase the RTD/Tennant specials from my personal canon, because the Doctor was so ridiculously OOC in them. Though of course the whole point of the last two seasons has been to show the Doctor that he's done too much of the big messianic stuff and needs to go back to pottering round the Universe solving much smaller problems.
