The same rules as the last poll apply. This has nothing to do with sexual intimacy or no. of romantic scenes. Which couples worked best together and had a natural understanding of one another.
Oscar Wilde, once said, “I never travel without my diary. One should always have something sensational to read in the train.”
River Song, later tells the Doctor, “Oh, it’s my diary. One should always have something sensational to read on a spaceship.”
The Doctor and River Song + Being A Besotted Old Married Couple
I’m all yours, Sweetie. Only River Song gets to call me that.
Bonus:
river's plot in "day of the moon" hurts like hell too. re-visiting her old orphanage, the site of so many of her earliest traumas. investigating the space suit that she spent large swaths of time in—perhaps even realizing some things about herself for the first time given how the Silence thoroughly messed with her memory.
in a way, she's making an archaeological dig out of herself.
The older river notes that it contains a life support system—its wearer doesn't even need to eat while they're in it—and the audience who's seen her entire story before remembers that she starved in it.
her euphoria from victory over the Silence—including the fact that she got to kill a bunch of her former tormentors!!!—is short-lived.
she thinks that this doctor, the one she's traveling with, is safe. he's flirting with her, and he knows her, and he calls her so many terms of endearments.
surely they've kissed a hundred times before.
but, no—she gives him their first kiss, and it's another reminder that their time is running out. it's all back-to-front, and he's getting further and further away from her.
and suddenly, that cell she's in has never felt more constrictive before.
I'm going back to my roots (watching The Husbands of River Song while I bake chocolate cookies because I need to stay awake)
"You don't expect the sunset to admire you back!"
and the best "Hello, sweetie"
Two hearts, stupid clothes, you can’t miss him! Go on, scan the whole parsec, he’s not here! God knows where he is right now, but I promise you he’s doing whatever the hell he wants and not giving a damn about me, and I am just fine with that! DOCTOR WHO — The Husbands of River Song (2015 Christmas Special) directed by Douglas Mackinnon | written by Steven Moffat ››› Peter Capaldi as The Doctor ››› Alex Kingston as River Song
been rewatching doctor who again, and i forgot how much i love the concept of river song. two people time travelling in opposite directions. one is slowly starting to get to know this person that already loves them completely, mind and soul, and by the time they fall in love with this person, and they finally catch up in time, they meet a version of them that has no idea who they are. meanwhile, the other has to suffer as they watch the person they love slowly recognize them less and less every time they meet, dreading the day they meet again, only to realize the person they love has no idea who they are.
too bad moffat sucks at making it good lol
“Stay with me! You can do it, stay with me! Come on, you and me, one last run!” [x]
