flowsoffireFinale spoiler ahead, right in the next sentence. Read at your own risk.
"Returning for the finale are Vastra, Strax, Jenny, a "posthumous" Dr Simeon and a "post-library" River Song."

Someone tell me to stop hyperventilating. Please. Seriously, someone tell me it's gonna be okay.
The whole rest of the article sounds great. It sounds thrilling. But this? I can't even. He CAN'T fix the Library…
(Eh. Rose's closure got screwed, still is. Donna's closure went close enough in the End of Time. The characters survived. But… still.)
Sorry about two freak-out fan posts in two days. But oh my. I just don't know anymore.

So, guess she'll tell him just how happy she is there and that he should freaking stop the guilt trips already?
Trouble is from our point of view how could she be happy there? She's River Song and no one keeps her locked-up (I may have a vid about it - TOO MANY FREAKING PROJECTS AT ONCE). I'd settle for an earnest talk between the two of them in the Library and he deletes her. No guilt trips anymore.

Yes, yes a thousand times.

YOU DO THAT. I don't think I've seen one of your vids before? And I want to!

Yes please, Moffat. *pleading face*
Plus closure. Because let's face it, River won't be around forever… Possibly s8. As long as Moffat has really…

How I wish he would take the time to send her off, slowly, sparingly, lovingly, during series 8. One episode would be enough if well written and sustained with hints and references sprinkled in other episodes. But I doubt it -I hope, still, because no one loves River as much as Steven Moffat.

Agreeing with every word and wishing oh-so-ardently…
