Theory:Timeline - River Song

This page lists appearances of River Song in the order in which she experienced them. This timeline is based upon observations of the Doctor Who universe and the events that occur in each of these stories, as well as the narrative feature of CON: When Time Froze, River Song: Her Story, which states her entire history up to the airdate of that Doctor Who Confidential episode in 2011. We have attempted to build a concise timeline from these observations.

The layout of this timeline is in part based on the observations on Clive Banks Databank, The Doctor Who Site, Cameron K. McEwan's blog post, Huw Fullerton's blog post, 9GAG page, and The Haunted Coconut page. None of these sources should be used solely as a source or considered a "true" timeline for stories.

Limiting factors
Any story where River has a vortex manipulator must be after The Pandorica Opens.

Any story where River is out of Stormcage prison, and most where she's a professor, must be after The Angels Take Manhattan.

Any story where River has a sonic screwdriver must be after The Husbands of River Song.

Series basics
River Song has only appeared in a handful of Doctor Who media, mostly from series 5 and 6 of the revived television series, but she is noteworthy for having met the Doctor, as well as her parents, Amy Pond and Rory Williams, in an anachronic order. As a result, the audience also sees her in an order different from how she experiences things. There are also several stories where as many as three Rivers at different points in her timestream appear.

For the sake of clarity, her first incarnation will be referred to as "Melody" to differentiate from her second, referred to as "Mels", and her third, which dominates her appearances in the Doctor Who universe.

Early life

 * Melody Pond is conceived by Amy Pond and Rory Williams on their wedding night aboard the Doctor's TARDIS as it flies through the Time Vortex, causing Melody to develop Time Lord traits from the exposure. (TV: A Good Man Goes to War)


 * TV: The Almost People
 * Amy begins giving birth to Melody at Demons Run, with Madame Kovarian acting as midwife.


 * TV: A Good Man Goes to War
 * As a three-week-old baby, Melody is taken by Kovarian and replaced by a Ganger before the Eleventh Doctor and Rory Williams can rescue her and Amy.


 * Melody is trained and brainwashed by the Silence to assassinate the Doctor before he can reach Trenzalore and free the Time Lords, and thus prevent the Siege of Trenzalore. (TV: Let's Kill Hitler, The Time of the Doctor) By the time she reaches adolescences, Melody is transferred to Graystark Hall Orphanage in 1969 Florida, and forced into an Apollo astronaut suit. (TV: The Impossible Astronaut)


 * WC: The Impossible Astronaut: Prequel
 * In 1969, Melody sends a distressed message for President Richard Nixon.

 * Melody is found by the Doctor and Amy, but is shot by Amy to "save [the Doctor's] life".

 * Homeless, Melody shares a pizza with Jack Harkness. (AUDIO: R&J)


 * Six months after her escape from the Silence, Melody regenerates into an infant in 1970 New York City. (TV: Day of the Moon, Let's Kill Hitler)

Growing up again

 * Renaming herself Mels, Melody makes her way to Leadworth, and attends Leadworth Primary School with her parents in the 1990s. Mels becomes "the most in trouble" girl at Leadworth Primary School, partially due to her blaming the Doctor for historical catastrophes. (TV: Let's Kill Hitler)


 * COMIC: Imaginary Enemies
 * During Year Three, Mels defeats Krampus.


 * PROSE: Mels at School


 * Sometime before 2008, Mels helps Amy realise her feelings for Rory by exposing his feelings for her, ensuring her own existence by bringing her parents together. She decides against attending her parents' 2010 wedding, citing that she "[doesn't] do weddings" as the reason. (TV: Let's Kill Hitler)


 * TV: Let's Kill Hitler
 * In 2011, Mels steals a car to meet the Doctor when Amy and Rory rendezvous with him in a cornfield. Needing to escape the police, Mels hijacks the Doctor's TARDIS at gunpoint, and causes it to crash in 1938 Berlin. Exiting the damaged TARDIS, Mels is hit by a ricocheting bullet fired by Adolf Hitler, and regenerates into her third incarnation in front of the Doctor and her parents.

Working for the Silence

After he helps her pilot the TARDIS to save Amy and Rory, Melody learns that her third incarnation is known as River Song, and revives the Doctor by sacrificing her remaining regenerations, though the process drains her into unconsciousness. She awakens in the Sisters of the Infinite Schism hospital with a TARDIS-shaped diary.
