Remember when everyone was trying to work out who River was? And how generally they wanted her to be Romana?
Heh ... I kind of remember that. I took no part in the speculation, at least I don't remember taking part. For me, River became a delightful mystery, and then an even more delightful person.
Episode 4 is written by the writer of Kerblam!
Interesting. I rather liked that episode, and was embarrassed when other folks pointed out the very corporatist viewpoint that was embedded in the story; I, a dedicated progressive, hadn't noticed it, or at least hadn't noticed it as a bad thing. In the end, I reminded myself that there are lots of episodes and adventures where the Doctor, for reasons of his, her, or their own, declines to undertake the role of lead revolutionary. Kerblam was just one of those incidents.
