But isn't Kingston's character supposed to get younger with each passing episode? As in, she should look younger, not older or exactly the same.

When a character is getting younger and still played by the same actor who, in turn, is growing older, pointing out that it's something of a problem isn't misogyny even if the actor is a woman.

I have no idea, DW is the only British action/adventure I follow. Too often, but that's not what was discussed here.

This is one of those times when we're just going to have to accept the limitations of reality. There is no way for the BBC to actually make Kingston age backwards.

The anon has a point about Matt Smith though. I doubt anyone's going to be complaining next year or the year after because the 'old' Doctor in the season opener looks younger than the current Doctor, who's meant to be several hundred years younger.

But it's possible that they have to change the actor at some point just to make it believable. Suspension of disbelief has its limits, too. I think it'd be a pity because I like Kingston as an actor and it'd be odd to see someone else play an adult River.

If it's any consolation, I will. "Little" details like that always bug me so much and it's why I tend to dislike the strictly timey-whimey stuff.

I don't see how an entirely different person playing the part is more realisitic than Kingston looking pretty much the same.
