River's dead ... so lets show some respect & mourn her sacrifice instead of trying to fiddle a way out of it!”
This. Its pretty tragic really but the Doctor is never going to bring River because as River says
Quote:
“Everybody knows that everybody dies. But not every day. Not today.”
The Doctor in the end gave her the life she has probally never had. He saved her so she will live for a very long time. If Moffat ever removes River from CAL I will lose all respect for him as a writer. (And that saying something because I bloody LOVE Moffat.) River's sacrafice was very important and upon reflection of the stories it shows the interaction between The Doctor and River even more sad because he knows one day, The woman that he loves and probally loves more than anyone in the universe (given the whole TimeLordish thing.) will sacrifice herself for him and 4022 people.
