This is pretty much a prototype for the sort of stories that Steven Moffat would come up with later during his time as showrunner.
So that means that the plot is so timey wimey it's hard to keep up, River Song is given loads of screen time, and of course the big one - nobody ever really dies!
It's all handled in moderation here, and makes for on the whole a decent episode, with lots being set up regarding River for later. But the warning signs about what would come from Moffat later are there.
