Forum:River's Injection

In the episode " Crash Of The Byzantium" - River gives Amy an injection of some sort, with the excuse that it is to protect her from any possible germs/virus on the alien planet. But why, in all the episodes and planets I've seen, very very rarely is anyone worried about ambient virus infections. Is this just a way of bringing the characters together to talk, or is it a definate way of taking something from or adding something to Amy's dna/blood?Buffercheen 19:32, August 3, 2011 (UTC)

Please sign your contributions. That said, with all the idiotic ideas posted to speculation .... this one looks significant.Boblipton 12:08, August 3, 2011 (UTC)

Sorry;-) Buffercheen 19:32, August 3, 2011 (UTC);-)

The episode is called Time of Angels, not Crash of the Byzantium. The injection wasn't to protect her from viruses or germs, it was to protect her from radiation. Since the ship leaking radiation was a major plot point in the episode, we can probably take River at her word in this case.Icecreamdif 03:15, August 7, 2011 (UTC)
