This. I yo-yo between enjoying River's story and head-desking at the sheer amount of STUFF that goes into it. It's not enough that she is from the Doctor's personal future; she's also part Time Lord. It's not enough that she's Amy and Rory's child from the future; she's also the reason they got together in the first place. (Which felt incredibly retconned, by the way.) Jack's story can be summed up in three bullet points 1) he's another time traveller 2) he's from a culture where omnisexuality is the norm 3) owing to a plot point, he is now effectively immortal.

Yeah, it really was. And to the people who make defenses for Moffat (and Moffat himself) who say "Well they didn't know if they were going to get Alex Kingston back and couldn't include Mels beforehand because of that", that's total rubbish. We knew a heck of a lot more about Rose's BFF Shireen and Jackie's boyfriend (who keeps fruit in his pajamas) than we did of Mels before her super retconned four-minute introduction. And guess what? No physical actor had to be cast for them to be name-dropped.

Lazy writing. Bottom line.
