Forum:Can we say River is the little girl?

I debated as to whether put this in the Howling or whether to put this in the Panopticon... but I decided here, because this is a wiki issue... speculation... do we go with interpretation? Or do we wait for absolute concrete evidence? Can we really say that the little girl is River? Yes... that's what the Doctor thought about... but there hasn't actually been anything concrete saying that the little girl is most definitely River/Melody... is there? So why are we speculating at all and putting the little girl's information on the River Song page until we have absolute proof? --The Thirteenth Doctor 01:23, June 5, 2011 (UTC)

I say wait as:

1. We have little evidence to go on namely the photo of Amy holding Melody, both River and the girl been part Time Lady and the flashbacks to the girl when Melody been part Time Lady is revealed.

2. The flashback was only what the Doctor was thinking. He has no proof.

3.The photo could easily be a red herring (would not be the first time the writers did somehing like that) and could be explained in universe as the Silence putting it there by mistake.

4. Say the Doctor saves Melody as soon as he lands. I dought he is going to lose her again. Korvain can easily make another hybrid the same way useing the data she already has and a pure human (with some slight amendments). 82.11.57.232 14:38, June 5, 2011 (UTC)
 * I agree with the IP user. We must wait.  We don't have narrative proof of anything, and likely won't until episode 13.  See my comments at Talk:Little Girl (The Impossible Astronaut).  The information is trending that she's River, but there are still things in the narrative that argue against that possibility.  Most obviously, why is River so clueless in Day of the Moon as to the identity of the occupant of the astronaut suit.  If it were her, surely we'd have got some kind of look of recognition.  Instead, she's in there, CSI style, trying to deduce things.  If it were her, she wouldn't need the Sherlock Holmes business.
