I was just looking at the River Song page and noticed a mention of "Crash of the Byzantium" under her time line. Looking at the photos from the start of filming, it certainly looks like the crash of something... Raukodraug 21:10, 21 July 2009 (UTC)

Specifically, a ship called the Byzantium. --Golden Monkey 23:49, 21 July 2009 (UTC)

So then if the time line located in her article is correct, then, from her perspective, this will not have been the first time she met the Doctor. --Raukodraug 14:16, 22 July 2009 (UTC)

also thats another trip of the tenth doctor that didn't get shown (unless the meeting was with the 11th looking like the 10th) --Ajax752 20:32, January 1, 2010 (UTC)

72.221.71.209 00:34, October 24, 2009 (UTC)this is a pic from the same location showing a woman who looks like river[1]

ah up rive joins the army but when and when does she become a archoligist--Ajax752 20:34, January 1, 2010 (UTC)

Has anyone realised that she seems to be wearing handcuffs. Could she be a bad girl when the doctor discovers her??? Michael Downey 12:01, November 7, 2009 (UTC)

She could be the Rani; the Doctor could use a chameleon arch on her (and keep it), creating the River Song identity...with knowledge of the Doctor and Time Lord lore, she'd be less inclined to have the curiosity of John Smith or Professor Yana (with it all being a part of her created identity) just a thought. Either that or his coursthip with River works in reservse (i.e. the first time he meets her is the last time she sees him and as he gets to know her more and more, it gets to be earlier and earlier into their relationship.) - CB

Ahh, so that could be why she called the Tenth Doctor "so young", seeing as the last Doctor she saw looked a lot older (McCoy being in his 40s at the time). Then the Rani sees him again as River Song. Hmmm... interesting...

I very much doubt that River Song is the Rani. Its starting to get ridiculous that everyone thinks everyone is someone else. Remember back in the day when people where the same people lol. Bit of sarcasim there Michael Downey 20:29, November 14, 2009 (UTC)

Seriously, don't we all know that River Song is the 13th incarnation of The Doctor? She can't be The Rani, because The Rani is actually Kamelion, who's really a Raston Warrior Robot refitted with Gundan memory chips by the Brigadier, who's actually a future version of Martha Jones who traveled back into the past after a genetic accident at Torchwood turned her into a white man. None of which has anything to do with the real question, which is whether Wilfred Mott is really a meta-crisis Davros or the reincarnation of Adric. --99.170.146.147 10:55, December 28, 2009 (UTC)

See, at least SOMEBODY'S making sense. DoctorWhotheF***

i think you are the only one sir. River is Moffat's creation so he has the can do what he wants with the character in terms of longevity in the series. Geffe71 17:29, December 28, 2009 (UTC)

Well, m theory is that river song is just Amy Pond (the 11th's confirmed companion), but older, seeing as how they have similar names, they were both supposedly at that crash (supposedly with the 11th doctor), and they both have red hair. I guess we'll have to wait 'till we actually see her in the show before making any supportable theories, though.74.162.27.142 18:34, January 9, 2010 (UTC)

River Song meets Amy Pond, they star in two episode together. River also has mudy blonde hair, a black dress, sunglasses, and a little gun in series 5. Really doesn't sound like she would be older Amy Pond to me. Delton Menace 19:12, January 9, 2010 (UTC)

River Song has been confirmed in DW Magazine that she will be appearing in episode 4 and 5. This is not confirmed but I'M sure the weeping angels will be in these episodes with her due to it being 1) a double episode, 2) Written by Steven Moffat and 3) When pictures have been taken of her on set she has been in a army suit which is extremely similar to the army mens suits in the trailer which are fighting the angels. THIS could mean that River song is a human from earth who is part of an army team such as unit or a new unknown one that is fighting this threat?? Just a theory but thinks everything links in to it if anyone has other opinions I'd be happy to argue against it lol :D. -- Michael Downey 22:28, January 9, 2010 (UTC)

Well, a link to the episode title info (though a few are untitled so far) for what the episodes are planned to be called, episodes 4 and 5 mentioned River Song and thhe Weeping Angels. I think the first of the two parter is planned to be called Flesh & Stone. Delton Menace 01:29, January 10, 2010 (UTC)

Well ep4 aired last night featuring River Song, lots of pointers suggesting that there is a deeper mystery to this character so I've done a little research into the name and guess what? The Hebrew translation of My Song is Rani, has that nailed it for you? Not so fast, thats only half the name at this point I have no idea what to do about the name River, I've been kicking it around for a while River could relate to time stream but that doesn't seem clever enough so I'm going to keep watching to see if there any more pointers. Anyone have a further theory?
