Icecreamdif, I'm not sure she was conditioned to believe the Doctor was bad (she showed no real sign of thinking he was) but she certainly was conditioned to kill him. As you say, because the Silence seem to have aimed at creating a fixed point at Lake Silencio on 22nd April 2011 and could compel River to participate, the training she obviously had been given doesn't seem necessary. Indeed, if their aim was to ensure the Doctor was killed at that place and time, Melody's attempt in 1930s Berlin would have messed things up for them very badly if it had succeeded -- and the only reason it didn't succeed was that she had a major change of heart. So, why was she trained the way she was? --[[Special:Contributions/89.241.65.18|89.241.65.18]] 08:29, November 7, 2011 (UTC) | Icecreamdif, I'm not sure she was conditioned to believe the Doctor was bad (she showed no real sign of thinking he was) but she certainly was conditioned to kill him.

Maybe the Silence thought River would willingly kill the Doctor at Lake Silencio (being that if it is a time loop they would aim to have her in the space suit) so they train her to kill the Doctor but when it became apparent that she wouldn't do it of her own free will they put her in the spacesuit and forced her to do it simply to close the time loop and complete the fixed point even though that would result in their pastselves unnecessarily training River to kill the Doctor (paradoxes are fun aren't they?).
