River came to us in The Library with all of her quirks and attitude and badassery that makes her River, and I personally accepted it because she was just there for the one episode. But when she became a recurring character in the next season, I think I was a little overwhelmed by too much River too quickly.

The fact that she's from the Doctor's future makes me OK with this. Because the Doctor is supposed to be overwhelmed. She's lived all these things with a future version of him and it's a lot to take in meeting her when he hasn't grown into "himself" (the one she's obviously used to being with and who's used to being with her) yet. So now the Doctor has to play catch up and I think that really comes through. I guess I'm just more willing to play along at slow pace than most.

But if we spend our time thinking "I wish I knew more about her life," and "I can't wait to see how she changes because I'd like to like her, but I really can't make myself appreciate the character so far," then I call that a fair compromise and think the rest is up to her and Moffat.

This is what I feel like a lot of people who complain so vehemently about her aren't doing. The River haters (the haters, not just the frustrated fans like you) aren't saying "Im excited to see what happens." They're saying "OMFG I WANNA KNOW NOW! WHAT'S WITH ALL THIS 'SPOILERS' BS! HAAAATE!" And yea...that's just silly.
