Well, remember that we're seeing her timeline run achronologically. River in the Library is older and wiser and has learnt from her mistakes. I've seen people protesting the way she was characterised in TWORS, for instance - but that's not actually taking into account the fact that she's actually quite young there. She regenerated, LKH happened, she was left in the 51st century, became an archeologist, and was immediately captured by the Silence again - she's missing all these formative experiences.

Since we see her last encounter first, of course she's going to come across as far more mature and well-rounded than she is in other encounters. Is that a good way to portray a character? Eh, iffy on that, but given the circumstances, there is at least an explanation for it.

Sure, that's something that would probably happen if you viewed anybody's life backwards. I do still think, however, that the way she was written was very problematic (and it bothers me especially that her forcing the Doctor to marry her is supposed to be ~romantic and wonderful~).

[ryttu3k]

True >.< I'd like it a lot more if they actually ACKNOWLEDGED the problematic stuff! As it is, I don't mind it because I can sort of... see the whole problematic stuff myself and view it as this complex, not necessarily mutually romantic relationship, but the show actually going, "Well, yes, there are issues" would be AMAZING.
