Awww, yay. I'm glad that my obsession with Explaining Things is useful to someone somewhere. ;)
Yes! The finger snapping is a much better metaphorical expression of this. I mean, like I said, I don't really think that they will do it to a level that satisfies me, but at the same time, I don't think it's coincidental that River's reaction to Ten - in Moffat's own words, more or less - is that he's the whiny teenager version of the man she know, he's not finished yet, he's too young. So like, I think that the idea is that he grows into the man she loves. I just...don't think the show has the scope to really show that to a level that will appease me. But...better some than none?
BUT YES. NEXT WEEK. WHY IS IT NOT SATURDAY YET. IF THERE IS KISSING I MIGHT ACTUALLY DIE AND HAVE TO INVITE MYSELF TO MY OWN WAKE AND THEN EXPLODE THE UNIVERSE TO RESURRECT MYSELF ONCE MORE.
