One of the best episodes
psychopath who was meant to kill the doctor almost killed the universe
The perfect match! Alex Kingston is a good actress, she portrayed river so well.
and I quote
DOCTOR: I know. It’s OK. This is where I die. This is a fixed point, this must happen, this always happens. Don’t worry… You won’t even remember this. Look over there. (looks in the direction of the others)
RIVER: (looks over and sobs) That’s me. How can I be there?
DOCTOR: That’s you from the future. Serving time for a murder you probably can’t remember. My murder. RIVER: Why would you do that? Make me watch?
DOCTOR: So that you know this is inevitable. And you are forgiven. Always and completely forgiven.
RIVER: (the arm of the suit rises) Please, my love. Please, please just run!
DOCTOR: I can’t.
RIVER: Time can be rewritten.
DOCTOR: Don’t you dare. Goodbye, River.
RIVER shakes her head and sobs. The DOCTOR closes his eyes, accepting his fate. There are five sonic gunshots and the DOCTOR jerks with each one. Realizing he’s still alive, the DOCTOR cracks open one eye.
RIVER: Hello, Sweetie.
DOCTOR: What have you done?!
RIVER: Well… I think I just drained my weapon systems.
DOCTOR: But this is fixed. This is a fixed point in time.
RIVER: Fixed points can be rewritten.
DOCTOR: No, they can’t, of course they can’t, who told you?! There is a flash of light as time changes. INT. SENATE, SENATE ROOM, DAY The DOCTOR is on the opposite end of the room from CHURCHILL.
And also another line
“CHURCHILL: Tick tock goes the clock, as the old song says. But they don’t, do they? The clocks never tick. Something has happened to time. That’s what you say. What you never STOP saying. All of history is happening at once. But what does that mean? What happened? Explain to me in terms that I can understand. What happened to time?
DOCTOR: A woman.
And the doctor is in love with Amy’s daughter! as he says in a good man goes to war “Ooooo”
Well done Steven great episode.
