I'm still convinced that the whole "River Song" - "Melody Pond" twist was the best thing ever happends to us.

[emmyyang]

I haven’t seen anyone mention it here so I’ll just do it: when the Doctor gives River her sonic, he isn’t just waving it in her face to be cute. He’s scanning her into the sonic’s database so that his younger self can upload her to the Library. One last thing for his love.

River: "Well he's never noticed before"
Doctor: *stands in front of her completely offended* Maybe he'll notice now
😂😂

[nikdzuba]

"The Doctor is not stupid enough and certainly not in love enough to be standing here with me!"
*The Doctor, standing there with her*
"Hello, sweetie"
*UGH MY HEART I LOVE THEIR RELATIONSHIP SO MUCH 💙

(3:48)
"Its your daughter's name, in the language of the forest-
except...they don't have a word for pond, because the only water comes from the _river_ "

Jesus christ this line gives me goosebumps every damn time.

The fact that her time line was properly closed, and interestingly told throughout multiple showrunners, Davies and Moffat, is a wonderful feat, and a testament to how great this show has been, throughout the years. I had a years long argument with friends about whether or not her sonic screwdriver in her first episode with the 10th Doctor was one of the Doctors or her very own screwdriver. I was on the side of it being given to her as a gift by the Doctor, so you can imagine the smug face I gave my friend once everything played out the way it did. I love River. Favorite companion ever.

The doctor making sure a restaurant is built, just so he can take river there is incredible

[summer-roseknight]

“I hate you.”
“No you don’t.”
Starts out as flirting, then turns into their version of ‘I love you’

[JianLong]

1:54 When River tells the Doctor who she is and he gets all giddy because he realizes his closest companions are related, meaning his wife is a Pond... One of my favorite moments

[seekingabsolution]

I love the 12th doctor hamming it up when he gets to pretend he's seeing the tardis interior for the first time.

[shifting_shadow]

"might take th age down a little just gradually to freak people out" that is the most in character explanation as to why she gets younger and younger

[wfow]

The Doctor knew that he couldn't change River's future, because he'd actually witnessed it. It's heartwrenching.

[Starkiller]

That reveal of Melody Pond being River Song was brilliant writing. They must have written Amy Pond into the series just so they could connect River song and Amy together, which is brilliant writing.

[alicelima]

River Song Iconic Moments: every single one of them because River Song *is* iconic. She deserves to comeback, and she deserves a spin off all for herself onscreen.
Not to mention that Alex Kingston is the single most dedicated actress to her character I have ever seen. She wrote a whole damn book! An AMAZING book btw!

[TheBelgianGamer]

I love what Husbands of River Song implies. Before River dies in the library she exclaims to Ten, "The last time I saw you, the real you, the future you I mean. You turned up on my doorstep, with a new haircut and a suit." Even with all that time she spent with Eleven, she was able to have such an emotional and satisfying goodbye with Twelve that when she imagines her doctor, its Twelve. When Eleven regenerates into Twelve, he wanted Clara to 'see him'. Guess RIver saw him too. What a night that must've been!

[ZekromAndYugiAndDrago]

My favorite part of The Husbands of River Song (after River's incredible monologue where she relates her love of The Doctor to loving a sunset) has to be River just constantly missing the blatant hints The Doctor keeps dropping for her.

River: You're very quick
Twelve: Yes, for a _Doctor._
River: Yes
Twelve: Seriously?

[MultifandomMashup]

12:40 that’s the moment he knew he screwed up. She honestly, truly believed he didn’t love her - to the point where she made it her truth. A woman who loved him so beyond comprehension and never felt it in return. And I think that’s also the moment he decided to fix that; to take her to Darillium and make the next 24 years absolute proof to her that he loved her too

[Saltyorange]

I love the husbands of river song because the entire episode is The Doctor trying his absolute HARDEST to point out that he is The Doctor aside from outright saying it and River fails to get the hint EVERY. SINGLE. TIME

[vindicated.]

The Husbands of River Song is the perfect episode. It has laughs, tears, creepy aliens, killer robots, even body horror, and one of the greatest love confessions of all time. It can make you laugh, cry and break your heart, and then do it all again. River being honest about how she feels about the Doctor is my favorite monologue, ahead of Capaldi's regeneration speech and Bill Nighy's description of Van Gogh. Vincent and the Doctor was my favorite episode that always made me cry at the end until The Husbands of River Song came along.

[merlyworm]

My god, the chemistry between Capaldi and Kingston is electric. It oozes out of every scene they were in together... and that 'Hello Sweetie' and end clip from Husbands. Christ. Top notch actors with top notch writing. I miss this Doctor Who. Maybe RTD will rescue it...
