New Who Review: The Wedding of River Song

We are at the end of the 6th season of New Who. We get a Christmas episode and then it looks like nothing until Christmas 2012 and onto 2013 which is the 50th anniversary for the program. 50 years is a long time for a TV program to survive but I think Doctor Who has done more than survive, it has thrived.

Over all not a bad ending. I didn’t see one of the elements coming but more on that in the spoilers section.

Acting was solid all the way around. The casting director got it right as always.

I am fine with the ending and leaving things where they are with all the toys pretty much neatly back in the toy box. I have a few issues with how we got to putting all the toys back and restoring balance to the universe.

Also this is the BBC, which has one of the best make-up departments in the world. What is the problem with Matt Smith’s face that they have to put such a rubbish beard on it? Took me right out of the scene. I know he was suppose to look unkempt but there is a difference.

The rest of this is going to be behind the cut. The whole season is in play so here there be spoilers.

I am grateful that the BBC has already declared that there will be a 50th anniversary episode.
