if you choose to disregard a bunch of other characteristics like their profession or in River's case personal history...

BBC Sherlock's Irene Adler is a psychopath-for-hire who falls in love with a man and it ruins all her psychopath plans. (Even though in-universe, the character referred to as Sherlock is supposed to be a psychopath as well.)

River Song is a psychopath-for-hire who falls in love with a man an alien, and it ruins all her psychopath plans. (Even though Eleven was played as a fairly straight-up sociopath/psychopath at times, himself.)

...Totally different, you're absolutely right. Can't see how anyone could possibly mistake the two.

Haha, well done.

Good job.

Good job ignoring everything River did after trying to kill the Doctor, you mean.

Oooohhhhh, right, she tried to kill all of time and space, because she fell in love with a man an alien. See above. Rinse, lather, repeat.

[(Anonymous)]

Again, ignoring everything she did when she was older.

....before the character was basically lobotomized, sure, okay.

The thing of it is, River Song would have been a great character, if she had only been a one-off, and we had never seen her again, after she died. The backfill was chaotic, her arc was poorly planned out (if at all), and she lacked continuity of character, plot, or even common sense. Moffat ended up transmogrifying a good concept into a long, drawn-out and overwrought, scenery-chewing festival of sheer vapidity. The plot (what little there was of it) was so very thin, and stretched out for so very very long, that it literally could not hold up under its own weight.

...is it any surprise his characterizations are on the same level? I think not.

Wasn't she, like, brainwashed? To begin with, I mean?

(Trufax: The other day I tried to explain a few things to my dad -- Homestuck, and River Song's personal history. I gave up on River first.)
