Why, Matt Smith, What a Particularly Doctor-y Thing to Say

I think River’s too independent to ever be a full-time companion,” Smith says. ”That’s what makes River great as a character. … The companions and the Doctor are doing their thing, then whoosh—in comes the hair. It just messes the Doctor up. — Matt Smith, on River Song and the possibility of her becoming more than a recurrent character on Doctor Who.

We’s have to agree with you Doctor, River Song is far too awesome to be bogged down in your TARDIS. You know who else never got tied down? Captain Jack. He got his own spinoff series.

Just. You know. Pointing out an interesting succession of events.
