I liked Mels, who was badass but suffered from way too little screentime, and I was totally slow in that I didn't get that she was River Song until she got shot. Also, huge props to Alex Kingston for hitting the notes of "young and brainwashed and manic but still River Song" just right. Every so often I kind of want to watch her episodes in reverse.
Word and word! I kept WTF-ing at the introduction of this Mels character at this stage of s6 and then she regenerated and I went 'ooooooh!'. Alex Kingston blows my mind.

Other fannish shenanigans I've been getting up to lately: notficced about a Jesse/Andrew/Emma threesome.
Feel free to notfic about them any.time!

Brb reading that Emma Stone interview.
