I'm a bit curious why an editor chose File:Forest Of The Dead.JPG. I don't see how it best represents the episode. Viriditas (talk) 10:28, 4 August 2012 (UTC)

At the end of this section's third paragraph, we have the line "River refuses to tell him who she is before activating the interface, much to the Doctor's anguish," describing the immediate prelude to River's corporeal death. In fact, this quick bit of info omits the brief moment before activation wherein she actually did tell him, as a whisper in his ear, his own name -- which tells him exactly who she will be & is: his wife. Though the shock of it blows him away a bit, upon further questioning, she replies "Spoilers," which goes on from this show to become a tagline in "Doctor Who" whenever River Song (& future incarnations of the Doctor [& perhaps a few others?]) get into discussions of potential reality paths -- for River's timeline goes forward, then backward, then forward, then backward, etc. (she hits codas, & d.s. al codas, & verses, & bridges, & choruses -- just like a "Song" or a "Melody" [her true name] would musically, except this song is one for the ages, made of time, and not merely for the moment. (As such, certain lines become refrains: "Spoilers," because obviously certain things cannot be revealed before their time; "Hello Sweetie," which functions as a bridge; and perhaps others I'm not thinking of now.)) Also invoked here as background, but not said aloud, is the famous metaphor of "The River of Time," and Heraclitus' equally famous observation that one "never steps into the same river twice" [because neither the river nor the person stepping into it is the same from instant to instant].

Why isn't miss Evangelista included in the final reunion (I mean besides the fact the actress might not have been available) ? Ivan Scott Warren (talk) 10:25, 11 July 2022 (UTC)
