Howling:River has a Time Agent vortex manipulator.

In the 2 minute clip, you can see her vortex manipulator vaugely, but in one of the promo pictures, you can see it completely. She swings round with some fancy futuristic gun in one hand, and Time Agent strap on her other arm. Well, looks like the debate of her identity is over: she is a Time Agent, like Jack. Time Agents are individual humans from the 51st century, who developed Time Travel during that time. River Song is from the 51st century, and there she has it, a Time Agent strap.

Can we finally settle this silly debate as to who she is? I read an interview shortly before The Time of Angels, where she was clearly refered to as being as time traveler herself, too, but no one would accept it. Or, they said she had a TARDIS. But no, the finale proves her to be a Time Agent, it seems. They're from a group of Time Travelrs from the 51st century who, well, time traveler. In the finale, River is known to have been time traveling around on her own, going to Roman era, just like Jack went to World War II. I swear, if I see one more River-is-so-and-so rubbish, I might scream. She's a Time Agent. I had that thoery since she first appeared (funny that, time traveling human from the 51st century... sounded like a Time Agent), and now a picture clearly showed her Time Agent strap, exactly the same as Jack's strap, no less.

The simple answer is there now, she is one of the remaining Time Agents, and at some point met ther Doctor in her travels. You can vaugely notice the strap in the clip, as I said., but very clearly in one of the images, which was shown in the spoiler section of the Gallifrey Base forum.

I was thought that River = Time Lady bull wasn't going to come true. The fact that she was a Time Traveler from the 51st century and written by Steven Moffat (who wrote Jack first) said it all, now the finale throws it in your face with her vortex manipulator. Of course, I'm expecting some doop fanboy to come along and find some reason for her to actually be a Time Lady. Typical fanboyism: everyone mysteries must be someone from the Doctor's past. No, River is River, someone from his future, not his past. Good lord! Delton Menace 20:47, June 16, 2010 (UTC)
