Talk:Melody Pond

The faces in River's diary have to be the past incarnations of the Doctor. The 8th Doctor said that Timelords have 13 lives, and that he was up to 8 (obviously). If we are at the 11th Doctor, we don't have too many more reincarnations to go :-(

future Jenny?
Is it possible that River Song is a future Jenny? They both have blond hair (although regenaration may cancal this point out), It could explain how she know's the doctor's name, Her way of talking to him, and why the doctor was so emotianal over her death. gvsz, 21:47, march 21st, 2011 (UTC)

No, it isn't... it's wrong. River's hair is dyed blonde (you can see her brown roots in series five and six, it's very visale in her last shot in the trailer, and her hair is all brown in the Library). Her hair is curly, not straight, too.

The Doctor told River his name, and explained that there is only one time or reason he could ever tell any one his name. She flirts with him and talks to him like a wife wanting her husband's attention ("sweetie - I need you!" and "I'm sorry my love"), and she smiled with a flirtacius tone when he suggested kissing her, implying to him that he already has when he is older, in her past.

He was emotional over her death because he knew she was someone who would be very important to him. But he doesn't even know who she is, just that she is very important to him in his future. As she explained, their history does not pre-date the Library for him, it's post-Library. Delton Menace 10:50, March 27, 2011 (UTC)

Pictures of the doctor
I don't understand this part at all, and it really shouldn't be in the artcle:


 * It is likely that she only has pictures of the Doctor's incarnations from the Eleventh Doctor onwards, erroneously thinking that she has all of his faces, as she has not been seen with any Doctor before the Tenth Doctor. Even then it was her only time meeting the Tenth Doctor and she died shortly after meeting him, leaving her no time to sketch his face into her diary. She may not even be aware that the first nine incarnations ever existed.

First of all, this is pure speculation, so it really doesn't belong in the article. But more importantly, it's just completely erroneous speculation.

When River first meets the Tenth Doctor in the library, she clearly recognizes him and knows who he is. So she must have a picture of the Tenth Doctor.

Also, I have no idea why whoever wrote this is assuming that she sketches the Doctor's face into her diary and that's how she has pictures of him. I mean... there are an infinate number of ways that she could have obtained pictures of him... just think about it for more than a second. 68.33.15.127 14:28, March 30, 2011 (UTC)

Odd in did. I think she even says her diary is of all the time she spent with the doctor in 'various incarnations'.

Plus the doctor has a machine that can make photogaphs of people from their DNA, thus he obviously (as they were wife and husband) did that. Speculation, however, is the only way at the moment as Moffat hasn't written the river song ending yet. (well beginning as it started with the end) TheArtistBox 12:00, April 22, 2011 (UTC)

Stone Dalek
How can we be sure that River actually killed the Stone Dalek??

Firstly, although we see the stand off, with River threatening the dalk who asks for mercy, we never see or hear her shooting it. Likewise, although River states that it died, we have no proof of this.

River is a mysterious character, someone who would make a DALEK ask for MERCY!!! I do not believe we should take anything for granted and just assume that she killed it and she is telling the truth.

The Impossible Astronaut
Where does the events of The Impossible Astronaut fit in for her? DuduDoctor 21:06, April 23, 2011 (UTC) --Witoki 04:22, April 24, 2011 (UTC)
 * Obviously it takes place before Silence in the Library/Forest of the Dead. She's wearing a vortex manipulator, so it must be after The Pandorica Opens/The Big Bang. However, by the time of The Time of Angels/Flesh and Stone she no longer has the manipulator. Thus, from the sound of it, the order (so far) for her is:
 * The Pandorica Opens
 * The Big Bang
 * The Impossible Astronaut
 * Day of the Moon
 * The Time of Angels
 * Flesh and Stone
 * Silence in the Library
 * Forest of the Dead

In the page, the Impossible Astronut is before The Pandorica Opens/The Big Bang, even though in The Big Bang, River calls Rory the Roman Centurian, but she would have learned his name in The Impossible Astronaut! Someone has to change it. - BillyWilliam3rd 15: 11, April 24, 2011 (UTC)

Lets stick the TIA after TBB and between ToA for the moment as it is the most accurate placement we can have for the story at the moment. Hopefully in next weeks episode we get a better placement in relation to River's timeline. --Revan\Talk 15:05, April 24, 2011 (UTC)
