* River Song was imprisoned in Stormcage before the crash of the Byzantium (from her point of view), so if she had killed the Doctor this would of had to occurred before the Pandorica Opens from her point of view, meaning she can't of killed him, because she was already in. | * River Song was imprisoned in Stormcage before the crash of the Byzantium (from her point of view), so if she had killed the Doctor this would of had to occurred before the Pandorica Opens from her point of view, meaning she can't of killed him, because she was already in. | ||
::It was never stated that river killed the doctor but even if she did the pandorica opens is not the first time river has met the doctor, infact she seems very familiar with him, so she could have killed an older doctor (later in the doctors timeline, but earlier in her). | ::It was never stated that river killed the doctor but even if she did the pandorica opens is not the first time river has met the doctor, infact she seems very familiar with him, so she could have killed an older doctor (later in the doctors timeline, but earlier in her). | ||
*At the very end of the episode, everything in space fades away quickly followed slowly by the Earth. How is the Earth visible if the stars have all gone? There should be no light, so we would not see anything at all. | *At the very end of the episode, everything in space fades away quickly followed slowly by the Earth.

:: There is energy stored on Earth, as the stars Supernova-ed on the 26/6/2010, so we will have still had electric lights. When faced with darkness, solar-activated street lanps will have illuminated across the globe, creating a dim light pollutionny haze around our atmosphere. The question you should be asking is why was the Earth not destroyed when every star in the universe (inc. our sun) supernava-ed. | :: There is energy stored on Earth, as the stars Supernova-ed on the 26/6/2010, so we will have still had electric lights.

:: Is it clearly shown that our sun is destroyed? The way the Earth is lit suggests that the sun is behind the camera, and may not have supernova-ed yet. Also, the light from the sun takes about 8 minutes to reach the Earth, so it's correct that it is still visible even if the sun has just been destroyed. |
