LJ icon notwithstanding, I'm just now getting into the Eleven years of Doctor Who. Or about to get there - I'm currently watching the specials that bridge Ten/Eleven. So I have barely met River Song and have not been exposed to the latest Moffat fuckery. So I'm not coming at this from that perspective. Perhaps if I was I'd be more frustrated, less inquisitively "let's-work-out-just-what-the-heck-is-going-on-here." If that makes sense.
Mainly I wanted to say: I understand your frustration and don't mean to undercut it; it's simply not where I'm starting from so my response is a bit less... well, frustrated, I guess? More constructive in the sense that I'm driven to construct something that makes sense to me, rather than just throw my hands up in sheer but well-earned irritation that this is happening yet again? So if my overlong comments are too much worldbuilding and rehabilitation, not enough righteous indignation (which may actually be the more appropriate path)... well, I'm cool with that and didn't mean to get in the way of your frustration. Secretly, I think your response is probably the more fitting one. :-)
