Reaction to The Wedding of River Song (DW 6.13)

[unfeathered]

Wait, what? Amy at the end is mourning the Doctor's death. So when is she from? If she's from right after the Doctor's death, then what happened to the rest of S6??? If she's from after The God Complex, then the Doctor's death was a long time ago for her so why is she mourning it now? Don't get it. :-(

All in all, the episode was wacky and fun but I've had enough of AUs and wondering which one's real and when we are in each individual's timeline etc. etc. etc. Plus was the Doctor in the Tesselecta all the way through the time-stuck universe? Doesn't make sense.

Amy remembers the time-stuck universe (when most people presumably don't), so for *that* her, his death just happened, and the attempt to stop it failed. (And she killed someone in cold blood.)

And the Doctor was in the robot ever since he met that guy in the bar--after all, he'd had no intention of dying by the lake the first time. If River had known then, the whole timestuck universe would never have happened. (But it was awesome, so I'm glad it did. *g*)

...Okay, that sort of makes sense. I think. I couldn't work out when that Amy was *from*, though. I don't have enough brain for Moffatt storylines. :-(

But if the Doctor was actually the robot all the way through, then you run into problems like why did the eyepatch work on it and why did the robot touching River work to restart time when it wasn't actually the Doctor touching her?

In the regular timeline, that Amy was from after the Doctor dropped her and Rory off at the new house he bought them.

The people in the robot have some weird sort of symbiotic relationship with it. It's never been fully explained, but look at how fine the motor control is; also, the robot was copied from the Doctor, of course, and had been in that shape for a while, so there was probably some wibbly-wobbly transference going on there... ;) . And the eyepatch probably interfaced with the robot brain? Tech in the Who!verse generally works the way the writers want it to. *g*

I watched it, I paid attention to it - and I am confused. Too much timey-wimey contradictions for this viewer.

I miss Nine.

[unfeathered]

Yeah, definitely. I miss him too. I love Eleven and his gang, but I wish the stories weren't so damn confusing. I just want to be able to work out a timeline in my head, damn it!

[vae]

Yep. Occasionally as reminding us that the Doctor's a time traveller? Excellent. Constantly to the level of timeline cat's cradles? I'm done.

MY BRAIN HURTS! Although to be honest, that's been the case since Melody regenerated into River, if not before.
