I have been speculating alot on what River Song's role will be later in the series. From what occurred in The Big Bang, I believe the doctor will fall in love with River. Now, as to her dark past. I have been thinking for much time, who is the great man that River Song killed. She did have a bit of a surprised reaction as to seeing The Doctor at the library while he was traveling with Donna Noble. Based on her behavior, i am going to assume that River Song, will, kill, The Doctor. As she mentioned, he is going to be rather cold towards her when SHE first meets the doctor. Maybe she will cause a regeneration or she will be the complete end of him. Who knows. Please tell me what you think.70.234.13.111 05:01, July 14, 2010 (UTC)7/13/1070.234.13.111 05:01, July 14, 2010 (UTC)

A fair theory, but there's one bit I don't agree with, River Song wouldn't kill the Doctor, but she might kill someone the Doctor knows or something like that. MatoroFreeze 06:20, July 14, 2010 (UTC)

I was also thinking. Continuing on the theory. Perhaps her killing the doctor wont be intentional. Perhaps an accident, or a mishap. I still strongly believe she will somehow hurt the doctor. Guess I have to wait a season or two 70.234.13.111 07:05, July 15, 2010 (UTC)

I think it's pretty obvious that she will kill the doctor. It just makes sense.--God (Pray) 06:42, November 23, 2010 (UTC)

River was sent to prison because she was framed for the Doctor's death. It was actually the Teselecta. 94.72.209.160^{talk to me} 15:05, December 30, 2011 (UTC)

Yes, we all know that now.Icecreamdif ^{talk to me} 08:57, December 31, 2011 (UTC)

Hang on a minute, we know River was sent to prison because of the nursery rhyme. But what I want to know is: how did the intergalactic police know that she had supposedly killed the Doctor? If the Silence had just left her in the suit and the Judoon had found her or something, she would have easily been able to prove that she had been forced to do so. Did the Silents just hypnotise them to send her to prison, or what? 94.72.237.220^{talk to me} 17:42, January 22, 2012 (UTC)

This really doesn't matter, 94, since even if noone caught River, River would have to send herself into the prison to both make the Doctor's "death" apparent to other aliens and to prevent a paradox.--222.166.181.93^{talk to me} 21:01, January 22, 2012 (UTC)

Two things you might have to elaborate on: 1* How could River send herself to prison? 2* What's the Paradox in her not doing so? 94.72.237.220^{talk to me} 21:14, January 22, 2012 (UTC)

It's quite obvious though, 1. she just simply to confess it to whatever law enforcing agency associated with Stormcage . 2, the Doctor has been meeting a River sent to Stormcage since the beginning of her storyline.--222.166.181.198^{talk to me} 21:56, January 22, 2012 (UTC)

1, fair enough, but 2, maybe not. There will have originally have been a reason why River was in prison. She won't just be in prison because she was in prison. The Paradox must start somewhere. 94.72.237.220^{talk to me} 23:14, January 22, 2012 (UTC)

paradoxes don't have to start somewhere. that's why they're paradoxes. Imamadmad ^{talk to me} 23:46, January 22, 2012 (UTC)

On the DVD of The Big Bang (Series 5), in the commentary, I think, someone involved in making that episode talks about Steven Moffat having to explain exactly that point to him, so we can be certain Moffat knows it. --89.240.246.47^{talk to me} 00:18, January 23, 2012 (UTC)
