There comes a time when a story reaches its conclusion and the essence of the show is that it constantly reinvents itself. I’ll miss Karen because she’s my best mate. She’s mad as a box of cats but she’s a firecracker!

most people think river and the doctor’s timeline is a strict progression of backwards to forwards, but actually, from a non-linear, non-subjective viewpoint - it’s more like a big ball of wibbly-wobbly, timey-wimey…feelings.
this is how i view(ed) river and the doctor’s timeline - as a giant circle! meeting at the top, having adventures, meeting at the bottom. of course, that’s not how it turned out because of reasons. actually, it really didn’t turn out that way because the first time river met the doctor was when she was a baby but was in the middle of their story, and then she met him again as a psychopath, but again with the timey-wimey.
here’s how it works: the doctor’s arrow is his time spent with river. so, the bottom would be the last time the doctor sees river. river’s arrow, however, is her entire life, since she’s known the doctor since the day she was born (well, maybe not the day, but the month at least). words. now, assuming that river was 9 or 10 (and not 30) as a child in the impossible astronaut/day of the moon, then chronologically growing up with amy and rory would have put her at 51 in 2011. the math from there is easy! 51 + 4 years of undergrad work + 4 years graduate work + 3 years phd work (all assuming school on the moon is like school on earth) = 11 years = river being 62 when she kills the doctor. damn, lady, work it.
if i messed up something, then uh well time travel is hard. but hey, i tried.

Terrifying Fact Number Two, is that I’ve just watched Matt Smith carrying a flaming torch on screen. Oh, it’s for such a thrilling scene in Episode 12. Really and truly, magnificent and epic. A proper movie moment. But never mind that, it’s Matt carrying a FLAMING TORCH. Look, Matt’s lovely, he’s a magnificent, brand new, hilarious, heartbreaking, heroic Doctor — but the fact is, if that man walks into a room with a coffee then it’s only so long before you’re wearing it. No, really, clumsiest man on earth. He walks like he’s in a constant state of surprise at his own limbs. I remember when he turned up at a Worldwide meeting really early on, and the first thing he did was spill a cup of coffee over a rather lovely woman. Naturally she giggled, flushed and introduced her mother. (Ahh, life when you’re Matt&! I accidentally made eye contact with the same woman — she phoned the police and shot me in the face.) On the way out he apologised to a completely different woman for the coffee incident. “That was the wrong woman,” I said, as he went out the doors. “Nope,” he replied, “That was the second cup.”
Oh, and there was the top secret, very special, extra readthrough for Episode 10 (I’m talking that up, but what the hell) and Matt came striding in with a GUITAR ON HIS BACK. I have honestly never seen a whole roomful of people flatten themselves against a wall with such a high-pitched squeal of terror. Except Karen, of course, who trotted along behind him without a care in the world. Oh, the horror as the Doctor spun and chatted and coffeed a series of delighted women. How that guitar arced and scythed! Swish! Get down, Karen! Swish! Karen, save yourself! Swish! Not her face, Matt, NOT HER FACE!! Ah, the memories. You know, to this day I’m not sure if Matt knew he had a guitar on his back — he might just have collided with a musician.
