Vindication!!!

[eve11]

In an interview with Moffat by Alan Sepinwall, there is one bit that is relevant to our interests (those of us who figured 'back to front' timelines of River and the Doctor were just silly):



In both the library two-parter and the angels two-parter, we got the sense that River and the Doctor's encounters have been extremely out of order. But when she appears at the start of this current season, she says, basically, that they've been traveling in exactly opposite directions.


No, she's talking poetically.



Okay.


It's the broad sweep of it. Even within the series, it doesn't happen that way. She's saying that while there will be individual moments that are out of sequence, in the broad sweep of things, she tends to deal with a younger Doctor each time.

Excellent. Not that I really thought differently, anyway. :)

Woo, that's pretty great. I like that he also says that *generally* it is back to front, because then it makes sense for them to sync up their diaries, despite the anomalies here and there :)

I thought that made much more sense!

This makes very much sense! Nice to have it confirmed.

Yes! That's what I always thought too.

And what a cool interview! Thanks for linking it.

I always just assumed that, but it's nice to have head writer confirmation!
