What do you think that does to a girl?" -- River, to Amy. Some other episode.<br /><br />So... Umm... Yeah, it seems the idea that he imprinted on her is not only raised as a possibility by the text, but explicitly stated as being the case by the text...<br /><br /><i>Also, why didn't she just regenerate in 'Forest of the Dead'? Maybe she'd run out of regenerations.</i><br /><br />Same reason the Doctor wouldn't have - "It would burn through both your hearts, and don't think you'd regenerate from it!"Gizenshanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5730513615909994019.post-55721302910145083742011-06-07T09:45:58.721+01:002011-06-07T09:45:58.721+01:00I hope so too - if it isn't, it's kind of ...I hope so too - if it isn't, it's kind of random!

E...Yes, it was a little over-hyped, wasn't it? Especially by the BBC announcer guy right before it started!<br /><br />And I wonder, actually, whether the Doctor's darkest hour is yet to come, and we haven't actually seen him 'fall so far' yet - because you're right, at the moment plot developments aren't really living up to that proclamation!<br /><br />And ooh, I hadn't noticed the whole Augustus/Octavian thing - I really hope that's a plot point! :)Gemmanoreply@blogger.com
