Personally I hate her. She's the kind of character I normally love, cool character who pops in and out every now and then, but the way they handled her character was so... teenage girl writing their first self-insert fanfic. All the things that mentioned in the OP are things that I thought were handled dreadfully. But more than that I hate that she is so much of what the Doctor stands against and for some reason he is ok with it for no reason. They have no chemistry and it's just like the writers suddenly decided one day that the Doctor was in love with her.

But if you like her, go you.

If there's 1 thing I'm confident of, it's that River isn't an authorial stand-in.

I thought she had amazing chemistry with Capaldi.

One of the reasons why her story arc didn't work for me was that it felt like very much a Steven Moffat* pet character. He loved her, and wrote her in a very... smothering, over the top way that admitted no faults or other perspectives on the character but his own.




* And no, kneejerk "OMG Moffat hate!!!!!" folks, I'm not a Moffat hater. He did some good work, some of my favorite in the series. But overall, I didn't enjoy his era as a showrunner.
