Howling:River's story continues...into Oswin?

I've recently been considering some connections between Oswin and Melody/River:


 * They're both very flirty.
 * They both possess cavalier qualities.
 * Oswin appears to be familiar with The Doctor, though he's only just met her.
 * The two were both involved in an artificial reality the day they met the Doctor.

This sparked a series of thoughts:


 * Their characteristics are unique amongst characters created by Moffat.
 * They've met The Doctor in very similar circumstances.
 * Knowing the Doctor doesn't know her real identity, giving him a clue like this is exactly the kind of thing River would do.

Which makes me wonder:

Could there be the possibility that "Oswin" is "River" in the future, as she is most certainly not dead, merely downloaded into CAL, sustained by a Neural Relay, which looks similar to a USB port, integrated into a version of the sonic screwdriver, which was destroyed as the TARDIS was rebuilding. That particular sonic screwdriver was connected to the TARDIS, even more so with River's version, as this could recall it.

Therefore...

...The Doctor wondered why he gave River his screwdriver. The revelation that it was because it contained a Neural Relay, I expect, was only part of it. (It always is with Moffat.) I'm sure the TARDIS still has a connection with River in CAL, as she was born in the same TARDIS. (You could also say "her" sonic screwdriver was a regenerated form of the old one, like the TARDIS re-building itself.)

Maybe, before River's final night with the Doctor, he discovers he can retrieve her, somehow, in a way that causes a regeneration, (she has an infinite amount from being conceived in the TARDIS?) and becomes Oswin. Just a theory.

She used up all of her regenerations to save the Doctor in Let's Kill Hitler. Besides, why would the Doctor save River from dying in the library just so that she could be turned into a Dalek. In another thread a few weeks ago, it was speculated that Jenna-Louise Coleman's character would be the daughter of the Doctor and River. If she's related to River at all, then I am guessing that that is what will happen.Icecreamdif ☎  19:57, September 5, 2012 (UTC)
