Howling:Is River Song human?
Occam's Razor - the reason that River Song knows the Doctor's true name, can drive the TARDIS, bounces through the timeline and has esoteric general knowledge of places/people is because she's not human - she could be a Time Lord or refugee from the time-locked Galifrey. Anyone care to discuss or refute?--ReTardis
She is a human Time Traveler, who at some point in her timeline, met a man called the Doctor. The full extent of their relationship is unknown, but clearly she is fascinated by him. She's no ordinary woman, that's for sure. She knows how to fly the TARDIS because she has traveled with him before, they have a history. But the Eleventh Doctor hasn't got ti that point in his timeline yet. A Time Traveler from the 51st century? Oh, sounds family - human Time Agents. But something happened between her and the Doctor clearly, which is part of the mystery. Don't push your look, the Time Lords are gone. She's a very mysterious human with a history with the Doctor. Just because she has a relationship of some bizzare sorts with the Doctor, doesn't make her a Time Lord. The weird nature of her knowledge stems from the fact that she can Time Travel (note: in the 51st century where she came from, humans did Time Travel) to any point and interact with any incarnation of the Doctor that she wants, gaining information from each one. She is, in a sense, studying him. Delton Menace 15:36, April 22, 2010 (UTC)
Not necessarily - at no point does she identify herself as human in either Silence or Forest. There's not enough info in the trailers to make that call on her species yet. She's got a "mysterious" history, yes, but there are a lot of different types of relationships outside marriage that a name and affection would have to be revealed - a birth for example....
