Yes, yes, yes! I TRIED liking River, and I somewhat do, but Moffat slaughtered her character, much like with Amy. It took me forever to like Amy (except for the whole basic dismissal of losing her daughter, which is somewhat referenced here, but you'd think there would be a lot more angst over it; at least a little bit for each episode - like when she lost Rory and didn't even know it, you know?) and I think I've only liked her in episodes Moffat didn't write.
Anyway, River was WAY to self-centered here which, from my understand, this her post-LKH a bit more grown up from then, so I can see this happening because she hasn't grown up as the bad ass River we've been given. It still doesn't excuse her; other companions loved the Doctor and were willing to do anything to save the universe 'cause that's what the Doctor showed them to do. Yes, I appreciate that River cares for him and showed him how much he's loved, but the whole "and no one more than me" thing totally crashed-and-burned her. *Sighs*
