"You named your daughter... After your daughter..."

[ethandalton]

"Amy, you have to stay calm"
*Amy picks up a gun*

[Jackie-McCann]

That awkward moment when you discover that your best friends are your in-laws...

[redraven]

The moment when she says, "The they don't have a word for 'pond'. The only water in the forest is the river."  Man, I get chills every time she says it.  The Doctor's lightbulb moment is priceless though...especially the 'oh, but we *smoochy sound*."  Best moment lol

[TheBrokenMadMan]

The moment Amy and Rory realise they now have the most dysfunctional family in the universe

[TheLastLoneWolf]

Probably one of the best plot twists during Matt Smith's time. Not to mention Matt's reaction was just absolutely perfect throughout the entire thing. 

[Theforever]

And that huge chunk of beautifully delivered dialogue is why Alex Kingston was a wonderful choice to play River. Very few actors out there who could deliver like that...

[wazopaio]

I still can't wrap my head around the fact that we got to see River's life in reverse as the Doctor's went forwards. Her death was in David Tennant's run and her birth came in Matt Smith's run.

[jcreasey]

The Tardis told them that "The only water in the forest is the river"! And that they needed to know that one day. :D

[leekelly]

What astounds me is that River says to Rory at the beginning of this episode, "It's my birthday." It still didn't click in my mind who she was until she actually announced, "I'm Melody." The question 'Doctor who' was not the only thing "hidden in plain sight." Brilliant!

[michaelreid]

Jesus. Alex Kingston's acting in this scene - I still get teary-eyed.

[arielfetters]

I love the fact River didn't rage at him or judge him. She just pointed out the consequences of his actions and reminded him he was better than that. Then when he realizes who she is and acts like a love-addled teenager it's insanely adorable lol.

[iamsherlocked]

that giggle he  has after she says hello is adorable P:)

[riverstardis]

i love how the doctor literally just runs away before amy and rory find out

[Helbore]

I love that look on the Doctor's face as he walks towards River and says "Who are you?" That's the look of a man who's had enough of the games and isn't going to accept "spoilers!" as a response anymore. There's so much power in Matt's eyes and you just know he means it. Then when he gets the awesome reality of what's going on, he laughs like a child. I just adore the way he could switch from scary to childlike - old to young - in nothing but an expression.

[gpgara]

Oh, Matt Smith's acting here. Heart-breaking at first, with the 'WHERE THE HELL WERE YOU TODAY?' and the fact that he's almost crying, but then it's really hilarious, with the giggles and the mimicked smooches and the cute 'hello.' Even though he's not my favourite Doctor, he proved, above and beyond, that he was absolute PERFECTION in the role.

[procentkrytyk]

I actually really like this subplot. It makes Universe in this show much more real. How many times Doctor landed on a planet and nothing what happend there has no effect to future adventures?

[jebusfishy]

The Doctor’s little giggle after River says hello always warms my heart. It’s so pure.

[milliondollars]

3:58 When you realize you pointed a gun at your child

[say]

When the Doctor realises who she is, his faces changes completely. I loved that scene. I was like "But tell me!!" And then River said that the only water in the forest is the river and I started shouting. I don't know what do the neighbours think about me.
