History YMMV / DoctorWhoS32E13TheWeddingOfRiverSong

* WhatDoYouMeanItWasntMadeOnDrugs: The opening scene before the credits has dinosaurs in a public park, flying car balloons, classical authors on a talk show, the Holy Roman Emperor in 21st century Britain, with the emperor himself being Winston Churchill, who has a Silurian for a doctor.

* UnintentionallyUnsympathetic: River Song, as seen above. She's clearly meant to come off as a WoobieDestroyerOfWorlds. However, her actions directly threaten ''every single being in the universe'' (including her parents, who were right there with her). River doesn't even flinch when this is pointed out to her, and never displays any remorse or apologizes for her actions in this episode.

** We also have modern-day media personality Meredith Viera interviewing Charles Dickens, just to put it over the top.

* AuthorsSavingThrow: The Doctor breaking open the casing of one of the very poorly-received "[[Series/{{Teletubbies}} Teletubby]]" New Paradigm Daleks to get at the juicy info inside could be seen as the production team trying to appease the crowd, especially as in later seasons the New Dalek Paradigm are quietly forgotten about in favour of the more familiar Bronze Daleks of the new era.

* UnintentionallyUnsympathetic: River Song, as seen above. She's clearly meant to come off as a WoobieDestroyerOfWorlds. However, her actions directly threaten every single supporting character the Whoniverse has ever had, (including her parents, who were right there with her, to say nothing of the countless innocent people who would have suffered because of it). River doesn't even flinch when this is pointed out to her, and never displays any remorse or apologizes for her actions in this episode. This caused many fans to completely brush her off.

* UnintentionallyUnsympathetic: River Song, as seen above. She's clearly meant to come off as a WoobieDestroyerOfWorlds, but the fact that her actions threatened every single thing in the universe (including her parents, who were right there with her), along with River not even so much as flinching when this is pointed out to her, caused many fans to completely brush her off.

* BaseBreakingCharacter: This episode fully cemented River Song as being a controversial, polarizing character (after already fracturing it in the mid-season finale). Was she an utterly broken WoobieDestroyerOfWorlds whose desperate attempts to rescue the Doctor from his apparent fate were a heart-wrenching ActOfTrueLove, or a BrainwashedAndCrazy StalkerWithACrush who willingly endangered the ''entire universe'' (thereby going against everything the object of her affections stood for) and not only had what would usually be a MoralEventHorizon [[ProtagonistCenteredMorality within the context of the series be merely brushed over, but essentially had her get away with everything she wanted]], thus turning her into a KarmaHoudini? Interestingly enough, the scrutiny kicked up again after "Hell Bent", where the Doctor's own attempts at doing something similar (that is, subverting a fixed point in time in order to save someone he loved) get him a ''massive'' calling out.
