The faces in River's diary have to be the past incarnations of the Doctor. The 8th Doctor said that Timelords have 13 lives, and that he was up to 8 (obviously). If we are at the 11th Doctor, we don't have too many more reincarnations to go :-(

Pictures of the doctor

I don't understand this part at all, and it really shouldn't be in the artcle:

It is likely that she only has pictures of the Doctor's incarnations from the Eleventh Doctor onwards, erroneously thinking that she has all of his faces, as she has not been seen with any Doctor before the Tenth Doctor. Even then it was her only time meeting the Tenth Doctor and she died shortly after meeting him, leaving her no time to sketch his face into her diary. She may not even be aware that the first nine incarnations ever existed.

First of all, this is pure speculation, so it really doesn't belong in the article. But more importantly, it's just completely erroneous speculation.

When River first meets the Tenth Doctor in the library, she clearly recognizes him and knows who he is. So she must have a picture of the Tenth Doctor.

Also, I have no idea why whoever wrote this is assuming that she sketches the Doctor's face into her diary and that's how she has pictures of him. I mean... there are an infinate number of ways that she could have obtained pictures of him... just think about it for more than a second. 68.33.15.127 14:28, March 30, 2011 (UTC)


Odd in did. I think she even says her diary is of all the time she spent with the doctor in 'various incarnations'.


Plus the doctor has a machine that can make photogaphs of people from their DNA, thus he obviously (as they were wife and husband) did that. Speculation, however, is the only way at the moment as Moffat hasn't written the river song ending yet. (well beginning as it started with the end) TheArtistBox 12:00, April 22, 2011 (UTC)

Stone Dalek

How can we be sure that River actually killed the Stone Dalek??

Firstly, although we see the stand off, with River threatening the dalek who asks for mercy, we never see or hear her shooting it. Likewise, although River states that it died, we have no proof of this.

River is a mysterious character, someone who would make a DALEK ask for MERCY!!! I do not believe we should take anything for granted and just assume that she killed it and she is telling the truth.

Geek Mythology 11:57, April 22, 2011 (UTC)

When we see River taunting the Dalek, she is grinning. We then do not see or hear what happens next, guessing is just speculation. When she walks back and tells us 'it died', her mood has dramatically changed, leaving me to guess something other/more than just killing it.

I'm not specifically saying she didn't kill it, only that we do not know either way.

To put it simply, not only is River mysterious and untrustworthy, but Doctor Who is a show full of twists and turns. The Doctor doesn't trust River, therefore I don't trust River.

Geek Mythology 19:01, May 14, 2011 (UTC)

That's a nice opinion but all the evidence suggests it died. It doesn't show up again does it? Why would she lie, was she in league with the Dalek? (That's a no by the way.) There is nothing to suggest the Dalek got bored or distracted by a... casino.----Skittles the hog--Talk 19:12, May 14, 2011 (UTC)

Exactly, the evidence suggests, we cannot know for certain. I am not saying that she did not kill the Dalek, either in talk pages, or on the page itself. I am merely trying to write a description that is based on what is factually known, without speculating either way.

PS, It hasn't shown up yet, The series 5 finale was not conclusive on all plot threads. Geek Mythology 19:17, May 14, 2011 (UTC)

Amy said "And the Dalek?" to which River replied "It died." Why would she lie? Mini-mitch\talk 19:20, May 14, 2011 (UTC)

Exactly. However, according to this user, it didn't die, it just wandered off.----Skittles the hog--Talk 19:21, May 14, 2011 (UTC)

She would lie because she is a condemned prisoner, apparently for killing one of the best men she's ever known, Octavian warned the Doctor about her, and he doesn't trust her. So why do you?
I am not saying it wandered off, but how do we know that she didn't just disable it, strip the casing of technology and leave the dalek inside alive, alone and helpless.
I am not trying to add anything ficticious to the page, merely trying to stick to what we know, and not be speculative. Geek Mythology 19:28, May 14, 2011 (UTC)
All we know is that it was killed. It was the end of the Universe, she hardly going lie, she not going take chance. She shot it, she said the shot would kill it and then came down stairs and said it was dead. To say anything against what is said on screen is speculative. Mini-mitch\talk 19:32, May 14, 2011 (UTC)

Yeah your right, we should add that she leaves case-less Daleks suffering, because that's what we know. No, we know that she killed it. That's all. There's absolutely nothing to say otherwise!----Skittles the hog--Talk 19:33, May 14, 2011 (UTC)

I didn't say we should add anything, and if my comments are too confusing for you, here is my proposed change;
River was devoted to the Doctor, and cared very much for those around her such as Amy and her team in The Library. Despite this, she could also be merciless, and repeatedly ordered the scared Stone Dalek to beg for mercy after it had shot the Doctor.
I have not said she does kill the dalek, I have not said she doesn't kill the dalek. So far you have been critisicing my opinion, so forget what I have said previously, and tell me what is factually wrong with my proposed change.

Geek Mythology 19:40, May 14, 2011 (UTC)

You forgot to add the comment where she said the Dalek died. Mini-mitch\talk 19:43, May 14, 2011 (UTC)

I'm not criticising your opinion, in fact I've repeatedly stated that its nice, quote: "That's a nice opinion". As for your change, it removes some of the current information so it could be seen as negative.----Skittles the hog--Talk 19:47, May 14, 2011 (UTC)

Skittles: I can see where you are coming from, but this is a wikia. Something anyone can edit, and with all due respect, anyone who adds to wikias should expect their work to be changed (yes, even me), to better reflect what we know. I appreciate that wikias are also communities, but when I make changes, whether they are gramatically or factually, other peoples feelings aren't my main concern. I am merely trying to make one paragraph more factual and less speculative.

Mitch: Technically I asked what was wrong with what I had written, not what I hadn't written, but point taken. My new proposal goes thus;

River was devoted to the Doctor, and cared very much for those around her such as Amy and her team in The Library. Despite this, she could also be merciless; she repeatedly ordered the scared Stone Dalek to beg for mercy, and displayed no sign of remorse when telling Amy and Rory 'It died'.

Not only does this reference the dalek 'dying', it also tells us that the evidence for this is River's word, and the addition of the lack of remorse helps to solidify River's mercilessness.

Is this a useful compromise? Geek Mythology 19:58, May 14, 2011 (UTC)

There's no need for a new revision. The information is already correct.----Skittles the hog--Talk 20:11, May 14, 2011 (UTC)

We still don't know River's agenda, and therefore I still don't see how specualting that we can just trust mysterious characters at their face value is 'correct'. I was just trying to help edit a page that said it needed to be cleaned up, but as even my proposed factual compromise has been voted down, I'm man enough to leave it.

The Impossible Astronaut

Where does the events of The Impossible Astronaut fit in for her? DuduDoctor 21:06, April 23, 2011 (UTC)

--Witoki 04:22, April 24, 2011 (UTC)

In the page, the Impossible Astronut is before The Pandorica Opens/The Big Bang, even though in The Big Bang, River calls Rory the Roman Centurian, but she would have learned his name in The Impossible Astronaut! Someone has to change it. - BillyWilliam3rd 15: 11, April 24, 2011 (UTC)

Lets stick the TIA after TBB and between ToA for the moment as it is the most accurate placement we can have for the story at the moment. Hopefully in next weeks episode we get a better placement in relation to River's timeline. --Revan\Talk 15:05, April 24, 2011 (UTC)

She didn't seem to know Rory at all in The Pandorica Opens/The Big Bang, but goes as far as having a very personal conversation with him in The Impossible Astronaut, and some more interation in Day of the Moon. Amy and Rory also talked about the events of The Big Bang in their conversation with her as if she had already done it, and she didn't seem confusedin the least, she seemed to know what Amy was saying. She is seen to have the Vortex Manipulator, too. The comment on how River was "doing it again" in Stormcage might be a hint back to her escape in the series 5 finale. Dorium should be appearing in Day of the Moon (having been seen in the CBBC trailer for series 6 and seen filming for it), so that should make things more clearer, like him referring to her black mailing him or something. 90.202.150.156 16:40, April 24, 2011 (UTC)

The vortex manipulator can't be used as evidence of when in her timeline this takes place, as she could have had another vortex manipulator in the past, lost it, and obtained a new one from Dorium in The Pandorica Opens. In her conversation with Amy and Rory, River didn't say anything about The Pandorica Opens or The Big Bang, so it is possible that she just chose to ignore Amy and Rory talking about something that hadn't happened to her yet, to avoid spoilers. Hopefully, Day of the Moon will provide a better hint as to where in her timeline this takes place.Icecreamdif 17:32, April 24, 2011 (UTC)

I don't think Series 5 can really be used as proof anymore either to be honest. Despite the fact that the Doctor, Amy, Rory and River seem to remember the Series's events, the Big Bang 2 changed the timeline, making Series 5 an alternate timeline. One case in point: Amy has her parents now, and Rory didn't die. Therefore River may have met Amy and Rory another time we haven't seen, or the Doctor mentioned them to her in her past. In "The Big Bang", River says the Doctor has yet to find out who she is the next time they meet, so she seems to know what's coming in his future. Additionally, River refers to meeting the Doctor in reverse order during her conversation in "The Impossible Astronaut", which seems a bit to specific to contradict for now. Hopefully, once "Day of the Moon" comes out things will be clarified.--Samoth 18:11, April 24, 2011 (UTC)

I think that The Impossible Astronaut / Day of the Moon both come before The Pandorica Opens / The Big Bang, since so far every appearance by River to the viewers and the Doctor has been earlier in her personal timeline, and she says as much to Rory about her past being his future and his past being her future, and that when he first met her he knew everything about her but with every meeting afterwards he knew less and less (and that once she gets to the point where he doesn't know her at all, she will die, which ends up being a fact). She also says at the end of Series 5 that the next time they meet that "everything changes" and "I'm so sorry", which implies to me that she's already been through all the events of Series 6. As for having a vortex manipulator, it doesn't mean that this takes place after the Pandorica... she definitely wouldn't have it and would have to get a replacement once she's imprisoned again, after escaping to head to Stonehenge.207.179.173.48 18:48, April 24, 2011 (UTC)

Series 5 did NOT take place in an alternate timeline. By saying that, you say the entire show prior to series 6 takes place in another world. What a loaf of rubbish, totally contraditing the Doctor's dialouge about restoring the universe and what Moffat said regarding the story. The River seen in Flesh and Stone refers to the events of th series 5 finale, and recognises the crack by the look on her face. Yet it hasn't happened yet for the Doctor. If you had even bothered paying attention, it was said that flying the Pandorica into the explosion, theywould bringthe unierse back to exactly how it was before it was destroyed, which was cracked. But the cracks closed, not ceased to exist. Reference was made to how the cracks would close in Venice - because of the Doctor's actions, which explains why Starship UK and the War Rooms weren't erased - because the cracks there closed.

You contradict the show, as characters from series 5 are reappearing in sries 6, including Craig and Sophie. How's that possible if series 5 was an alternate timeline?

River doesn't ALWAYS meet the Doctor in reverse order, it's just that most of it goes in a basic form of reverse. You clearly missed the part where River met a Doctor who was in sync with her at the begining of the episode, or how she mentioned that before going to the Library, her last adventure was when he used the Future Sonic, and we haven't even seen the Doctor get that far yet. So, no, not all of it is in reverse, like how the Doctor at the begining had already done Easter Island, and so had she. Delton Menace 00:45, April 25, 2011 (UTC)

Something happens at the end of Day of the Moon, that in my opinion puts this before The Pandorica Opens/The Big Bang - if it was after something would have happened in those episodes - you'll understand when you see it - also she pretty much confirms it in The Imposible astronaught that they're are traveling in oposite directions - as for not knowing Rory - well he was erased from time, never exisisted so that can be atributed to her not knowing him, either that or she is a great actress and clever when it comes to hiding spoilers...91.108.5.196 12:46, April 25, 2011 (UTC)

River stated explicitly that her and the Doctor were meeting in reverse. I think we should use that for her timeline. -- Rest In Peace Sarah Jane \ Talk to me! 15:01, April 25, 2011 (UTC)

Leave the timeline as it is and wait for part two to shed some light on it.----Skittles the hog--Talk 15:22, April 25, 2011 (UTC)

As a "PS" to my above, River told the Doctor "that's when everything changes" at the end of The Big Bang, and things changed pretty drastically with the Doctor getting. Part 2 will likely shed more light on things, but I think given what she told Rory and and the Doctor, that the exact reverse order is the correct one. Any other thoughts? -- Rest In Peace Sarah Jane \ Talk to me! 15:44, April 25, 2011 (UTC)

I would say that the order is likely to be:

We know TPO happens before ToA (from her point of view) because River says as much.

As she doesn't know who Rory is in TPO we have to assume the TIA comes after that from her point of view as she clearly knows who he is (there would be no reason for her to pretend not to know him, its not like she hides her time-travling nature and fore-knowledge).

The only other peice of evidence of where the timeline occured in reguards to ToA is the Vortex Manipilator. It's not hard evidence (it could be a different one) but its the only evidence we have. So until the better evidence is provided I think we will have to assume that TIA occures before ToA where she had returned to prision and presumably had her Vortex Manipulator confiscated.

We know they meet in a general (but imperfect) reverse order because of the diaries. If there were major mix-ups in their timelines they would have to match up every single event in their diaries rather than just "have we dont this yet". So while we can generalise and use it as a trend, we cannot use it to make a specific order.

As for her being in prision in the 52ndC in TPO and the 51st in ToA (in her personal future but the actual past) there are two explanations:

1) She was recaptured in the 51stC and taken to back prision. As the Time Agency exists during this period it is possible the personal timelines (and time travel) are factored in when serving a sentence. I find it less likely that she would have turned herself in at a time before she was originally in prision (possibly even before she had commited the crime), although I guess it's possible.

2) It was a mistake. When working out the dates for TPO someone involved in the episode read "51st Cenutry" from ToA and made up a date begining with "51??" (5145 as it turned out); which I think is an easy enough mistake/oversight to make. Looq 21:43, April 25, 2011 (UTC)

I'm sorry, did people not listen to what she had to say? "trouble is, it's all back to front, my past is his future, We're travelling in oposite directions. Every time we meet, I know him more, he knows me less." surely this is confirmation that the orders are reverse.

Also in The Pandorica Opens - Amy says to River "The last time we saw you, you said we'd see you again when the Pandorica opens" or something like that - the way you have it, sh'e be telling them in The Impossible Astronaut/Day of the Moon! 91.108.5.196 23:06, April 25, 2011 (UTC)

The vortex manipulator is not evidence. What She explicitly says onscreen is. -- Rest In Peace Sarah Jane \ Talk to me! 13:08, April 26, 2011 (UTC)

The vortex manipulator isn't evidence. She states that they are going in the wrong direction, but she hasn't had all the events happen to her yet. Also, according to Moffat's twitter, this is set before The Big Bang for River, and that she pretended not to know him in those two episodes. --The Thirteenth Doctor 13:36, April 26, 2011 (UTC)

At the point River refers to Rory as the 'Roman Centurion' in TPO/TBB, Rory had been erased from history... Therefore, you could conclude that River would not know who Rory was, regardless of whether she met him 'earlier' in TIA/DOTM. Thus, TIA/DOTM happens before TPO/TBB.

Another point is that River's timeline runs 'backwards' to the Doctor's, meaning she could have met Amy and Rory in her past/Doctor's future. Eladkse 15:20, April 26, 2011 (UTC)

There you go Steven Moffat the writer has even confirmed that River knew Rory and she was lying - thats pretty much confirmation that you have the order wrong! see his twitter! https://twitter.com/#!/steven_moffat 91.108.5.196 17:22, April 26, 2011 (UTC)

In light of this tweet (which I had missed a couple of comments back), I wish to make a shocking conclution: Moffat, although being the head writer, is wrong. It is just not plausable... and he probably made it up on the spot. At least what I said above is plausable. Eladkse 17:43, April 26, 2011 (UTC)

Moffat was agrreing with you! the origional question was "why does River know Rory now when she didn't know him in the Big Bang? Isn't that episode in her future?" he replied "She DOES know him, she pretends not to. Spoilers." which is what isaid further up - The fact of the matter is this though - Moffat has confirmed now that TIO/DOTM happens before TPO/TBB - the order in the article needs to be changed... it seems people dont actually listen to what is said and would rather have visual confirmation and hence why they are clinging onto a votrex manipulator 91.108.5.196 18:19, April 26, 2011 (UTC)

Calm down... I'm not saying that an answers hasn't been 'provided' - I'm just suggesting a much more plausable one: River did not know Rory because at that point, Rory didn't exist. Eladkse 18:32, April 26, 2011 (UTC)

I see many apologies, my mistake - it may not be the answer you want but one has been provided. By the way i totally aggree with what you are saying about the deleting from existance - i suggested it further up :D 91.108.5.196 19:16, April 26, 2011 (UTC)

Did you? My apologies as well then - I found it hard to read this discussion due to the wiki's font choice and lack of indenting, meaning I missed a couple of the comments as I tried to read it. Eladkse 20:21, April 26, 2011 (UTC)

Well it doesn't matter now anyway - the correct order has been placed 91.108.5.196 19:24, April 26, 2011 (UTC)

I think the Kiss proves that River experiences 1969 in the USA before the Big Bang. Realising that the doctor had not kissed her before, she now knows not to kiss him in her future, Ie, series 5. Geek Mythology 18:41, April 30, 2011 (UTC)

Easiest proof that every instance is in reverse order:

Simple enough, I think. Witoki 22:41, April 30, 2011 (UTC)


I think its fair enough to say that the current order it reversed, but it might not always be the case for two simple reasons:

1) The Diaries wouldn't work. If the order was in perfect reverse compared to the other, there would be no point in the diaries whatsoever, because there would be no events in the Doctor's that would be in River's at the same time except for the events that they just experienced together (and even then only before they parted ways). For an event to be in both their pasts then they must meet out of (reverse) order some of the time. Although the order is clearly generally reversed.

2) We have know of two specific out of order events:

A) River has not been given the Doctor's Sonic Screwdriver from our perspective yet; therefore a Doctor from our future must contact a River from our past (i.e. between Silence in the Library and The Time of Angels). I believe it was the "picnic as asgard" where their timelines seemed to be in sync (his last meeting with her, and her second to last meeting with him).

B) The FutureDoc10 from the begining of the Impossible Astronaut, who seemed to be "in-sync" with the River of that time (unlike the PresentDoc10 to whom River is still a fairly new companion). Looq 02:41, May 1, 2011 (UTC)

I think you mean 11, not 10, unless you refer to the First Doctor as Doc 0--86.135.146.25 10:08, May 1, 2011 (UTC)

We need to wait to see how the Doctor's death resolves/unresolves/whatever, but River does say that they went to see the opera just before Silence in the Library/Forest of the Dead when she presumably receives the screwdriver. This could very easily be right before the Doctor sends the geo letters. Witoki 02:43, May 1, 2011 (UTC)

While we should wait some more to get 100% verification of the timeline, River's last scene in Day of the Moon does indicate something. She kisses the Doctor, and it's his first kiss from his point of view. River says it's her last then, as the next time she'll meet him he'll know her even less. In fact, in the Pandorcia Opens/Big Bang, she doesn't even try to kiss him. Thus the latter two wouldn't have happened to River before the Day of the Moon because River would have resigned herself to the fact that the Doctor doesn't know her enough to want to kiss her. --Samoth 15:46, May 1, 2011 (UTC)

Although I agree that the doctor must visit her at some point before the library to give her the sonic screwdriver, the four stories we have seen SO FAR all seem to take place in the reverse order that they have been broadcast, ie, America 2011/1969, then Pandorica, Byzantium, and finally Library. Geek Mythology 17:21, May 1, 2011 (UTC)

  • Well, we already know they can't meet purely in reverse order (even if that's the general pattern) because the Doctor's future self met Impossible Planet River before his present self did. I'm not convinced that will be their last kiss from her perspective, either. Her second-to-last meeting with the Doctor (from her perspective) when he has a big cry about her impending death doesn't seem like it would be particularly platonic. Unless Ten did it offscreen, I suppose. 95.150.108.95 15:54, May 2, 2011 (UTC)
  • He may have all ready had that meeting with her - we don't actually know that he didnt go see River before regenerating from the 10th to 11th - the pinc may have been apart of the 10ths goodbye to everyoneLagunaVII 18:01, May 3, 2011 (UTC)

Sitting down for a picnic wouldn't fit the basic pattern of the Tenth Doctor's final meetings with everyone. He hardly knew River at the time, and for everybody else he ust stood off to the side and stared at them. Besides, the Tenth Doctor's sonic screwdriver didn't have red settings, and the Eleventh Doctor still had the Tenth Doctor's sonic screwdriver.Icecreamdif 03:54, May 4, 2011 (UTC)

While it probably wouldn't have been during Ten's "goodbye tour", the picnic at Asgard must have involved him. Otherwise River asking Ten if he remembered Asgard after she'd already established that he came before Eleven (with the Byzantium question) would make no sense whatsoever. The most plausible scenario is that the picnic at Asgard took place in the "early days" from BOTH of their perspectives: Ten and a young River, neither one knowing exactly how much the other knows about their future. Again, despite what River says at the end of Day of the Moon, it is simply not possible for every single meeting to occur in reverse order, as River and Future!Eleven both remembered doing Easter Island.95.150.87.220 19:20, May 18, 2011 (UTC)

America

"From his shocked reaction, she realised that from his perspective it was their first kiss, and she would never kiss him again."

That is misleading, and playing into the trap the writers probably want you to.

"...and from her perspective believes she will never kiss him again. However, this might not be true as the Doctor has yet to give her his sonic screw driver. In that, a future him is still set to appear in her future... allowing her time for at least one, last kiss. After all, she doesn't actually know her future. Spoilers." Emptylord 23:30, May 3, 2011 (UTC)

I'd like to point out that a future version of the Doctor gives her his screwdriver. In all of her future encounters with past Doctors, she won't kiss him again. --Bold Clone 23:57, May 3, 2011 (UTC)

It doesn't make any difference to her whether they are future or past. To her, the Eleventh Doctor in Time of Angels/Flesh and Stone and The Pandorica Opens/The Big Bang and the Tenth Doctor in Silence in the Library/Forest of the Dead are all future Doctors, as is the Doctor who gave her his sonic screwdriver. Just because the Doctor who gave her his sonic is from the future from our perspective, doesn't mean that it is any different to River.Icecreamdif 03:50, May 4, 2011 (UTC)

Not quite. When the 11th Doctor said that he and River hadn't kissed before, all that that means is that she won't kiss the 11th Docotr or the Tenth Doctor in her future/his past. That doesn't mean that she won't still kiss the Doctor in his personal future, which would include the time where he will give her his screwdriver. If it's a future version of the Doctor, then she can still kiss him, even if it's in her future. --Bold Clone 14:54, May 4, 2011 (UTC)

can someone edit

can someone edit the fact it says the Doctor is meeting her in reverse order for the following reasons

1 the 1103 Doctor didn't meet her in total reverse order as he had done Jim the Fish and Easter Island

2 The fact she compares diaries with the Doctor implies that they aren't meeting in reverse order if they were then why keep the diary thanks 78.105.95.95 19:29, May 19, 2011 (UTC)




The diary is how they know they are meeting in reverse order. Doctor no. 14 12:49, May 22, 2011 (UTC)


No it isn't. We have already seen them use it to realise they met after both of them had done Jim the Fish etc. and River tells the 10th Doctor that her Doctor met her for the last timebefore library and gave her his sonic. We haven't seen that yet 78.105.95.95 15:11, May 24, 2011 (UTC)

Reverse Order

Although there has been some discussion under different headings, the way I see it the main thing to remember is that there is a difference betweeen their 'adventures' and their 'episodes'

1. The Doctor experiences the episodes in the order that they are made, and broadcast. All evidence suggests that River Song experiences the episodes in the reverse order. ("Call me"/"You didn't answer your phone") 2. River and the Doctor will/have had adventures that are not shown in a television episode.

Just before her death, River explains that the last time she saw the Doctor, he had a new hair cut and was wearing a suit, and that he gave her the sonic screwdriver when they went to see the singing towers. She also states that the Doctor cried, knowing her next adventure would be her last. This event would therfore obviously take place between the Byzantium and The Library (from River's perspective). (Anyone object if I add this info to the main page?)

It is possible that as it has already been described, we won't see the actual event in an episode. I am therefore assuming that, flashbacks aside, each episode featuring River and the Doctor will carry on being in reverse order from each perspective.

PS, remember it is a TV show aimed at family viewing, and therefore needs to be understood by children. The producers wouldn't make it any more complicated than it needs to be.
