Howling:52nd century?

In Silence in the Library and The Time of Angels, we clearly learn that River is from the 51st century, and that she spends her days in Storm Cage in the 51st century. But then, in The Pandorica Opens, she is in Storm Cage and living in (earlier in her timeline than her imprisonment in the 51st century) in the 52nd century.

So let me get this straight: Pandorica opens River is from the 52nd century and locked away in Storm Cage, and then post-Pandorica opens River is suddenly from the 51st century and lockaed away in Storm Cage in the 51st century? Plus, it was 45 years into the 52nd century, nearly half of a decade after the end of the 51st. Plus, the Time Agents are known to be based from the 51st century, not the 52nd... oh my lord. *migrane* :( Delton Menace 00:08, June 20, 2010 (UTC)

I don't know if it has been "clearly" stated which century she is from. Now that we know she is a time traveller, the 51st Century roots indicated in Silence in the Library might be in error. At the time, we didn't know she travelled in time.

However, if you are going to bust a time agent, after they have jumped into and committed a crime in your era, you generally aren't going to extradite them temporally to another time. So basically, if she goes forward to the 52nd Century from hers, does something naughty, and is arrested, she can certainly serve porridge there! Or rather, then.

Her time period is irrelivant to this, the basis is that she has been living out in the 51st century and prisoned there, and is suddenly living in the 52nd century and prisoned there instead. It was "indicated" that it was the 51st century, it was directly stated, and it was directly stated again in The Time of Angels. I can't make sense that she would be from the 52nd century, get herself arrested there, travel back in time, furhter in her timeline, and suddenly be arrested by the same group in the past -- before they would even know she commited a crime.

And the fact remains, the Time Agents are always said to be based around the 51st century (and closed near the end of that century, I believe), and are suddenly mentioned in the 52nd century. oth River and them are known to do business in the 51st, not the 52nd.
