Thank you for the compliment...though...perhaps, damning with faint praise to say I'm more creative than Moff. :snicker:
As for his love of the twisted River Song relationship, I believe you are right. But, on the other hand, maybe that is what upset Ten so much in the library. Not that River was his wife...but what it would mean for him, personally, in a time twisted way...if she knew his real name. We are all assuming that Moff had romance in mind, because of what he said about Rose and because he pushed for a more sexualized Doctor in all of his episodes. But, it is possible that he was setting up a longer game in that episode...because it does fall so close to his take over of the show. And we do know that he pitched some idea to David...it wouldn't necessarily have been a three season pitch at that time...but rather a one season one...with the whole fracture and cul-de-sac universe as part of it.
I'm just purposing that, perhaps, Moff had an original idea, pitched it to David, worked with RTD to establish it from, say, Silence in the Library onward...because remember, RTD said he didn't know who River was, at the time. And then, Moff kept going for his entire run with the certainty that he could get both David and Billie back to reset or set up something other than what happened in End of Time. For that to work though, I think we would need to assume that the Doctor is aware of timelines to come...which I would say is a Time Lord power, given what Nine told Rose while she had the Time Vortex inside her head.
