HELLO SWEETIE, I THINK I WOULD RATHER HAVE DIED. [River Song]

So, it turns out there's only so much Fringe I can vid before I reach critical gross science mass of dear god stop with the eyeballs already, so in order to take a break, I am, instead, going to talk about River Song and the only thing in the entire world I wish was different about her.

Namely, the very end of the Library episodes. And since I love River Song with the fire of a thousand burning suns, yet don't really like the end of her story (technically, if not narratively, but we'll get to that), and since usually that's like...a dealbreaker for me, I thought I should ARCHIVE MY THOUGHTS.

( First, some background. )

( Why I don't like it. )

( Given that I don't like it, let's fix it with a monomyth. )

( On context, and on WHY I think Moffat messed this bit up more than usual. )

( On why I'm not generally furious, even if I am specifically disappointed. )

( Finally, on the similarities and differences between River and Donna and their endings. )

THUS END MY EPIC THOUGHTS OF THINKING. :)
