Marriage....?! *Spoilers!*

[Gallifrey Girl]

Did anyone else find it highly irksome that River Song marries the Doctor?  In my opinion, it was, in a way, selfish of her to sacrifice the universe and time to be with him, even if it was out of love and to show him how appreciative everyone was of him.  

 

Not to mention, it wasn't evident that the feelings were mutual... The Doctor only seemed to marry her to save the universe from dying.

 

Plus, the Doctor isn't supposed to marry! He's supposed to be the character that can never be entirely committed to anyone because of his constant traveling.  And that's why he can never have a companion(s) with him for too long.  

 

But that's just what I think.  I'm curious what everyone else's opinions are. 

[Gallifrey Girl]

But why would you take something so meaningful and monumental in a person's life and base it off supposition? It seems a bit too... contrived...

 

By the way, love your picture! 

[Julia Bromine]

Yeah, I was annoyed when they got married. It was obvious that the Doctor didn't love River like she loved him, he was only complying out of desperation to save time. Yes, the Doctor is fond of River, but he didn't want to marry her. That was unnecessary.

 

The season finale didn't hold up to my expectations. I mean, I guessed (correctly) what the question was weeks ago, so that was a bit disappointing.

 

But I wonder how future seasons are going to be carried out if the whole universe thinks the Doctor's dead. I suppose he'd have to pretend to be a younger version of himself. And he'll have some new companions in season 7.

[Gallifrey Girl]

I agree.  I suppose I'm just used to the finales with innumerable twists and turns that you'd never expect and take two shows to explain.... Haha...

 

As for season 7, it'll be VERY interesting how they write themselves out of this one. XD

No, see, what I think is that he's never told her his real name, but rather all those times when she's been whispering into his ear she was just saying something else, like look into my eye as a clue for him in the future maybe....

I WANT TO BELIEVE THAT HE HASN'T TOLD HER HIS NAME OK?!

And yeah, the kisses they've shared just sucked, the first one was her jumping on him all RAEP, the second one was her smashing lips with him so that she could POISON AND KILL HIM. So really, i don't get any love love vibes from them at all. The Doctor blatently doesn't love River like she loves him, and actually that makes me really sad. I feel really sorry for her... We haven't seen the Doctor try and deal with the sadness of losing her slowly each time he see's her yet, but It will be awful when we do. Frankly, I like River, She's always been a badass, bamfalicious awesome character, I don't get all the haterade against her!

[Gallifrey Girl]

I don't understand why people dislike her as a character.  She's almost (and I say this loosely) like Jack Harkness, but female.  However, her personality just doesn't seem to compliment the Doctor's in a romantic light.

[Eniola]

Almost, i agree! I LOVE CAPTAIN JACK THOUGH!!!!!! I want him to come back.. :') Loved him SO MUCH! :D  Honestly, even though I really like her, I DO NOT fancy them as a couple. Nah-uh, nada nooo...

[Gallifrey Girl]

I assume your a Torchwood fan, then xD

[Stephanie Cervantez]

No I feel the exact same way... Marrying was a bit much don't you think? Usually I really love River but around this time I felt she was being a bit selfish like, "The universe must explode because I will suffer more than all of the universe if I have to kill you!!!" Really? Suffer more than all of the races and civilizations that you're killing? Then again, she's not perfect and she never claimed to be. Still, the marriage was just... weird. Felt really off. The Doctor doesn't marry... he just doesn't!

 

And yeah I know this is totally off topic but we still don't know why the TARDIS exploded!!!!!!!!

 

MOFFAT!!!!!!!!!!!

[Gallifrey Girl]

That scene, I felt, was a bit overacted... or something.  It was kind of cheesy...

 

Irksome, is it not? I was waiting the entire episode for an explanation of that to be weaved in, but it never came.  I was thoroughly disappointed.

 

[Chen]

When did the TARDIS explode? I'm confused. Ahh! So many details I keep forgetting!

Season 5 finale

[Rachel Kadushin]

If it makes you feel any better  - he didn't tell her his name. He didn't actually marry her in reality just sentimentally for her benefit... because she "married" normal sized time-travelling robot proxy... and yes he didn't seem to marry her for love, despite the fact that he has seemed to enjoy some of his adventures and smoochies with her in the past/future. It means more to River personally and more to the Doctor on a cosmic scale.
