"Why does the Doctor have to marry River in order to set the Universe right? I may have missed that bit - but if all they had to do to push the reset button was touch each other, I'm sure they could have managed a quick snog without that necessity!"

This bit game me my biggest headache, and it's not just me it seems, even hubby turned to me during it and said WTF?

No matter how I try to get my head around it, I keep coming back to two things about that scene;

1. The snog itself makes no sense at all as far as restarted the clock goes, because they didn't actually touch, she kissed the Teselecta, not him, so it shouldn't have done a damned thing.
2. The doctor only married her to get her to agree to do what he wanted her to, go off and kill him.

Or am I missing something? I'd love to know if I am, if only so I can get rid of this headache, and try to explain it to hubby, who is equally bemused.
