Forum:The Mysterious River Song

There are the following intended mysteries:

1. Daleks are afraid of River Song, even more than being afraid of the Doctor

2. River Song suggests that she and the Doctor are in love or married at one point (calling only the Doctor, honey), but Moffat says that she is very different from what we think. We also know that, according to her, she is either married or she is willing to marry the Eleventh Doctor.

3. River Song demonstrates a mental capacity beyond any known humans and most species that we know of; she could write in Old Gallifreyan (even Jack has not demonstrated a knowledge of alien language let alone an ancient alien language); she could pilot the TARDIS on her own (companions have only shown to be able to use certain functions, even the Doctor is not too good at it) and even minor details like the TARDIS' call-forwarding function and its mechanics and even how to disconnect and connect the TARDIS' cables; she demonstrates an extensive knowledge that has, on numerous occasions, outmatched the Doctor's; she could use the psychic paper to send messages to the Doctor through time and space (an ability only demonstrated by psychic beings stronger than humans); she completely knows how to use a more complex version of the Doctor's sonic screwdriver, that no human, even Jack, has ever demonstrated.

4. She is destined to show up in 21st Century in Amy's wedding to give the journal to Amy as a wedding present even if the Doctor never existed. Is she slightly immuned to changes in time or is there something in the 21st Century that ties her there?

5. This incarnation of the Doctor is the one River Song has a lot of the early adventures and she will meet one more 'with a new haircut'

6. The good person River Song murdered happened earlier than The Pandorica Opens in her timeline

6a. If the 'good person' is the Doctor as everyone thought, then together with the Doctor 'with a new haircut', River Song will meet all of Doctor's incarnations from Tenth to Thirteenth.

6b. River Song is imprisoned in Stormcage for the murder, but very few, if any, of the planets we know of considers Doctor a citizen or a guest who's respected enough for the residents to care if he were murdered...

6c. the person River Song murdered is not important enough that forbids her from being pardoned

7. She is extremely resourceful, from hallucigenic lipstick to strong explosives and square gun...considering that she's a prisoner

8. River Song's timeline and time aware senses is beyond any specie we've ever seen, even beyond what we have seen from the timelords. In Flesh and Stone, she was able to hold the memory of a complete alternate timeline where the cracks were negated through Big Bang 2 and knows exactly that sharing the information would affect the yet-to-exist timeline.

9. She understands all alien technologies used in the Pandorica, even Jack who has lived a very long time and is exposed to many alien technology through working in Torchwood cannot usually immediately identify any specific technology and its function.

10. Despite having traveled extensively throughout all of time and space and mostly lived in the 51st Century...she has a ridiculously ugly haircut...and she's in a prison too...Curling iron in prison...what/who is she? Could one of her past incarnation be the famous 21st Century figure...Lady Gaga?

The 51st/52nd Century inconsistency...I just don't know if its continuity error or the person is really so important that the sentence across centuries actually make sense, but since we know that the Time Agency has already existed and we have no knowledge of the laws governing criminals who time traveled to another era...I'll just skip it until more clues show up...203.168.176.42 21:31, June 27, 2010 (UTC)
