Talk:River Song/Archive 1

After reading this entry, I've got a question about it's mention of the Blue Book.

I'd like to refer to this part: "... this might indicate that the blue book is in fact the Doctor's biography, written some time after his death later on in his own personal time-line."

How was it mentioned or indicated that this book was written after the Doctor's death? And since he's a Time Lord ... should this mean his final death or "just" a regeneration?

Yes, it seemed quite obvious that the Blue Book contains some of the Doctor's future and that River Song knows him pretty well. She also mentioned that he looks younger than the version she knows, but it didn't sound to me as if he was dead in her time-line. And since she's so careful about the book, I think she wouldn't dare to mention something like this about his future.

It is only possible that the Blue Book was written after the Doctor's death. If it is likely that River Song has traveled with the Time Lord, it is likely that she may have picked up the book in the further future of the Doctor's time-line.

It is also possible that the Blue Book is indeed the Doctor's biography, it may be added to every time the Doctor regenerates. This would also explain away the theory that the Doctor dies. Although, it has been mentioned previously by a Doctor Who writer that a Time Lord may only have thirteen regenerations.

 * She kind of calls it a diary. 71.99.82.202 14:11, 5 June 2008 (UTC)

that blue book looks like the tarids outer shell thingy, well the police box :D LOL

River Song does not actually call the book a diary, she merely states that it is against the Doctor's own rules to see it, and that it contains spoilers. And the fact that the Blue Book is similar to the TARDIS has already been recognized by fans. Queenling 16:52, 7 June 2008 (UTC)

The Doctor refers to it as her (River Song's) diary in the concluding part, Forest Of The Dead. I'd suggest that this, and not the biography (although other biographies are mentioned in the first part) explanation, is correct. 82.23.83.228 20:46, 7 June 2008 (UTC)
