I had a lot of problems with the ending of those episodes too (despite loving them, and loving River as a character); the first time I watched it, I felt cheated: she should have died at the end, none of that creepy half-life for River Song, thankyouverymuch! It would have been one hell of an epic death scene, on her own terms, if we'd ended things as she dies for the Doctor, to save all those people, but also ultimately to protect her own self, her own life, her own choices. Not one line, don't you dare. Oh, how I loved that moment.

Still, I sort of came to terms with it all after seeing this post (http://community.livejournal.com/doctorwho/5862938.html) some time ago. I loved that image of River as a storyteller and seeker of knowledge - and it's an interpretation that ties in nicely with what makes those episodes so good, and makes me hate that ending a little less.
