He did it! He really did it! Clever man. Brilliant! I just wanted to say, thank you Steven Moffat for this episode, at the beginning of my review. If you haven't watched the episode yet, please stop reading now.
Summary:
We are in a strange London where different times seem to be mixed. Then there is Winston Churchill, the Emperor, who wants to know why it is always the same time and date. They bring him a prisoner who should explain everything to him and the prisoner is the Doctor dressed as a Roman. He tells Winston why the time has stopped and the reason is, that River hasn't killed him in Utah and they are now in a different time stream where all of history happens at once. The Silence is hunting him but he is saved by Amy who can remember everything, despite being in an alternative timeline. She brings him to Egypt where they have trapped the Silence and worked on a plan to save him. The Silence escape and the Doctor knows the only thing that can heal time is his death. He marries River and then she kills him. Time starts again and my is visited by River who tells her some spoilers about the Doctor.
That was a really brilliant episode. It has answered a lot of questions but there are still more, which need to be answered. I always thought River had killed a Ganger Doctor but now it was this alien suit thing, which had the appearance of the Doctor. So, River hasn't really killed the Doctor but she is in prison to convince the Silence that she has killed him, so they don't hunt him down anymore. That is probably the reason why it's always so easy for her to escape from prison. We will probably see more of the Silence then, when the time of the first question comes closer and what else could be the most important question in the world, than who the Doctor really is. It is still unclear what the Doctor whispered into River's ear. I don't think that the only thing he told her, is that she wouldn't kill him. There has to be more. I liked the explanation for the eye patches, really good. Finally, I can say that "The Wedding of River Song" was a brilliant series finale, thanks again Mr. Moffat, and I'm already looking forward to the Christmas Special.
