So it’s worth noting that I’ve just spent hours reading about the Baroque & co decades because I searched for vanities/paintings about the unavoidable passing of Time, and then my brain started drawing a parallel between River Song’s adventures in 1938 and the representation of Saint Mary Magdalene in baroque art.

They’re not. They’re shaped by THE DOCTOR, and it’s in character. Male companions’ lives are shaped as well. If the Doctor was female, she’d shape lives as well.

But I was wrong to be! So, even if a part of me regrets that we didn’t get some 1938-related Deep Drama and stuff, the Moff’ sort of chose the easy way and I’m okay with it....
