      Does anybody else remember Idris(the Soul of the TARDIS) whispering to Rory:
      "The only Water in the Forest is the River", & w/ Her dying breath(as Idris) at that.... 🤭
      This was lingering in the background for quite a bit before the knowledge & meaning of it arrived in this moment.... 🥹💗
      Uhhhg.....
      .... SO MUCH LOVE....🤗

    rewatching River episodes is really rewarding after this point, cause you notice how "unusually" sweet River is with Amy in the Angels episode, and how she doesnt introduce herself to Amy at the Pandorica (although it predates the Angels episode in her timeline)

    • @JeshuaSquirrel

      Alex was the only person other than Steven who knew who River was. Steven made sure she knew so she could properly play the character at the appropriate moments in River's life. Watching River's scenes in her chronological order make total sense, a testament to Alex Kingston's acting ability.

    What really blew my mind is if you look back at previous episodes with River after watching this episode, you realize she knew Amy and Rory were her parents the entire time, yet she never once gave any indication/special attention to them/nor reacted to them even in the first time she ever met them. It impressed me how well she was able to keep that a secret the whole time, and kind of tragic that she couldn't "enjoy" their relationship in that way explicitly or it would totally disrupt the timeline.

    River’s scene with Rory is so much better the second time you watch her come home from celebrating HER BIRTHDAY.
    This is a great time to go back and revisit silence in the library - where the Doctor meets River the day she dies wearing Tenent’s face and traveling with Donna.

    Alex Kingston ( River) on her very first episode with David Tennant (which was written by Steven Moffat) was given her journal which is in fact filled with all the details of River's life that Steven planned from the very very beginning. Steven made a point that he was going to be the only one to write episodes with River in it. Alex knew everything from the beginning (I believe she even knew she was Amy's daughter from the beginning) and all of the episodes that are still to come with River are written in the journal as well so really Steven is the best screen writer there ever was and it's so precious to know that Alex got to see it all play out exactly like she read in the journal

    I just realized a small but fun detail. In the Silence in the Library episodes, Tenant’s Doctor says “…I point and laugh at archaeologists.”
    In this episode when he meets “Melody” as a baby, he points down at her and laughs…although it’s a happy laugh for it being a new baby of a friend.

      @monkeyzorr3090 I found Discovery mostly unwatchable (although possibly not for the same reasons as many others). Strange New Worlds isn’t perfect, but it does some good stuff. As a for-instance, episode 1x06 is actually based on an old Roddenberry script (he may actually have a writing credit on it?), and IMO it definitely shows. I echo @RedCaio; I think it’s worth checking out. Note that it’s /helpful/ if you’ve seen Discovery season 2 (and 2x12 in particular) but not required.

    Quick question.
    What is the name of the song in your intro, and what was the song in your old intro?

      Song now: Time of Dying by Three Days Grace
      Old one: I’ve had a bunch but the one before this one was I Don’t Care by Apocalyptica 😄

    Stuff like this is why Steven Moffat is generally considered an evil genius. I remember just before this aired some people guessed that River might be Amy and Rory's daughter and I thought that was too crazy even for him. Obviously not. 🤣

    I watched you jump back when River said that the only water in the forest is the river did you remember that the Tardis told Rory that, right before she died?
