I know there's been some speculation that Tasha was originally meant to be River. If there's any truth to that, it may have only been very early on. Maybe at the story outline stage. Because a close examination of the episode reveals that River couldn't possibly have filled Tasha's role. It wouldn't make sense for River to be head of the Papal Mainframe, much less for her to be Dalek-ized. I also can't see her threatening to destroy an entire planet (especially one with a human colony on it). So apart from a few lines of dialogue and a somewhat flirty relationship with the Doctor, the two characters don't really have much in common.

Theory she mentions dying to the Daleks multiple times, has an ambiguously sexual relationship with the Doctor and can pilot the Tardis
Is it possible this is actually River Song?– The preceding unsigned comment was added by 69.253.76.102 (talk).

- that's just silly. of course not. Allisonbn ☎ 02:29, December 28, 2013 (UTC)
- Allisonbn please read Tardis:No personal attacks. There is no need to insult an editor or his idea. Shambala108 ☎ 02:48, December 28, 2013 (UTC)

- It looks like she is an unknown incarnation of River Song - Lem is Mel backwards, and Tasha is short for Natasha, which translates into "Born on Christmas". Moffat wouldn't miss this opportunity. Nitrobg ☎ 12:05, December 28, 2013 (UTC)
- For now at least, this is just speculation, and as such belongs only on Howling:The Howling. Thanks. Shambala108 ☎ 15:46, December 28, 2013 (UTC)

- Also, when Tasha first sees the Doctor, she asks him if he's got a new body. River Song would have been familiar with the Matt Smith body, and would not have needed to ask.
Species
In the infobox it says her species is human. First, we don't know that, especially given her ability to not age. Second, even if she was human, by the end of the episode she's a Dalek puppet, so shouldn't that be her species. Or, at least, "former human"? 68.146.70.124talk to me 23:54, January 29, 2014 (UTC)
- For the infobox, the species field can only take one name, so we always use the original species. So "Dalek" or "former human" are out. As for whether she's human or not, I can't help there as I've not seen the episode. If we're not sure she's human, then "humanoid" is a safe bet, since humans are a subset of humanoid.
