Howling:Who is River Song? Place you final bets now!!
So this saturday with Series 6 episode 7, the mid-series finale airing, we will find out who River Song really is. So I've created this page just for a bit of fun, for people to place their final guess of who she is before it is aired on saturday and see if anyone actually gets it right! This page is not for discussion of her identity because that is begin done on other posts. This is to simply state who you think she might be so we can see you were right. There are many theories out there, please try to refrain to just one in your post. You can word your post like mine below keeping it short and simple. Sorry no prize if you get it right, just your fair share of awesomeness! :P Timster1987 02:57, June 1, 2011 (UTC)
I think she is Amy's daughter somehow infused with tardis power. Timster1987 02:57, June 1, 2011 (UTC)
I think she is Amy's daughter who is a timelord created by the Silence somehow. Luigi board
I think she is fully and only human (not the girl who began to regenerate). Beyond that, I don't know. 89.241.77.204 07:34, June 1, 2011 (UTC)
i think she is a normal woman that one day got picked up by the doctor and has become deeply involved with his life and one day she killed a man ----Whooligist 09:06, June 1, 2011 (UTC)----
I'm going with Whooligist, it's no one's daughter, no timelord, what's special about her is what she will do not how she was born.UnicornandtheWasp 09:10, June 1, 2011 (UTC)
im going with Whoologist and Unincornandwasp. she is going to be or is involved in something big that will shock us as it didnt ocur to us that it could have been her and it wont be obvious. if the episode before had such a big reveal as 'Ganger amy' then river is going to be huge 217.23.232.194 09:45, June 1, 2011 (UTC)
I think she's Amy's daughter and the Doctors wife Saxon 3 12:00, June 1, 2011 (UTC)
I think she will turn out to be the daughter of Verity Neuman and hence the great-granddaughter of John Smith, aka the Doctor during his Chameleon Arch phase. Just to play out waaaay in left field. Boblipton 12:55, June 1, 2011 (UTC)
I'm going with someone who is NOT Amy's daughter of the Doctor's wife. There the obvious answers so it is obviously not them and the little regenerating girl has been made out to be Amy's baby since last weeks cliffhanger. Last time I checked 100% Humans do not regenerate.82.11.57.232 13:34, June 1, 2011 (UTC)
I will throw a curve here: River is a semi-FOB-watched (reformed) Master. Only he fixed it so he/she knows who she is.
I think this whole idea of everyone thinking River is the doctors wife and amys daughter has been planned well by Moffat. Moffat has said on a number of occasions he reads sites like this and doctorwhotv to see peoples reactions and theories. I think he has (well I hope) planned all this set up to make everyone think River is (Amy's daughter, doctors wife and murderer) and I think he will just stun us by revealing she is something that no-one guessed (or hardly guessed) thats why I think she will just be someone is is deeply involved in his life. -- Michael Downey 15:03, June 1, 2011 (UTC)
I stand by what I posted back in April. River Song is the same person as the only other companion the Doc has met in non-linearly-Mel. She either regenerated somehow, or had cosmetic surgery at some point. The reason the Sixth Doctor regenerated at the beginning of Time and the Rani was that Mel poisoned his carrot juice, accounting for the good man that River murdered. You will all find out that I am right in 3 days, though I have to wait another week, since I don't live in England.69.140.34.6 16:56, June 1, 2011 (UTC)
I agree, as I did back in April. The evidence is clear - Mel and River both have curly hair, and both are known to be screamers. 187.78.119.32 17:03, June 1, 2011 (UTC)
On the off-chance that the two anons above are wrong, and River Song is not Mel, I'm going to guess that River is just an ordinary human, who has been meeting the Doctor in a non-linear order for most, if not all, of her life. In A Good Man Goes to War, we will probably learn who River killed, though I don't have any guesses as to who that could be. I doubt that River is Amy's daughter, because that would be stupid, and I doubt that she is the Doctor's wife, because I don't see how they could get married if they meet in a non-linear order.Icecreamdif 17:29, June 1, 2011 (UTC)
As Ace immediately perceived, Mel was a doughnut. River is not a doughnut. Therefore River is not Mel. 2.96.18.149 17:41, June 1, 2011 (UTC)
She's the TARDIS (the biggest screamer in the whole show, beating even Mel) and the best man she's ever known is going to be Rory. Agonaga 19:14, June 1, 2011 (UTC)
She's the Doctor's wife, but probably just a random woman who met him. However, there's also a chance that she's the Astronaut that killed the Doctor, and the little girl was a different one. After all, the little girl appeared not to have the ability to shoot, or she'd probably have taken out a Silent. This also explains the fact that the little girl lost the suit (which was then taken apart) and was scared of it prior to her losing it, the fact that River's gunfire from Day of the Moon looked similar (as far as I can recall) to the bolts fired by the Astronaut, and River's killing of "the best man she's ever known".

On a side note, now that Amy's nausea in THE IMPOSSIBLE ASTRONAUT has been revealed to be morning sickness, what are we meant to surmise from River's nausea later in the same episode? Also morning sickness? Has she been replaced too? Boblipton 20:38, June 1, 2011 (UTC)
Not sure where I am going with this, but she is a time traveller and could have killed any "good man" at any point in history only to be tried and sentenced imprisoned when she got back to her own time. so her killing the doctor could be true only for them to find out he was a ganger and she subsequently gets released - mmmmm plausible The Dalek feared here when she was scanned. They would be able to read who she killed from scanning her and realising if she could kill such a good man then they would realise how ultimately dangerous she could be - yeah but killing her would make them ultimately feared She can speak ancient Gallifreyan - I can ask for a beer in about fifteen languages (but not much more than that) so surely she can say "Hello Sweetie" in several too like i say not sure where I am going with this just thinking a few things out loud, But I dont think she is a future version of any other character we have already met.Tooty1967 10:27, June 2, 2011 (UTC)
A screamer who knows The Doctor's name...must be Susan! Gallifrey102 20:16, June 2, 2011 (UTC)
Just based on the fact that River says she's a screamer, she could be almost any of the Doctor's female companions. Besides, all the flirting and kissing would come across as kind of creepy if it turned out that River was the Doctor's granddaughter.Icecreamdif 21:56, June 2, 2011 (UTC)
Well, all I have to say to that is that Luke Skywalker did it and she was his sister! Gallifrey102 21:58, June 2, 2011 (UTC)
I don't follow Star Wars, but didn't they not know they were siblings? River at least would have to know that she was Susan.Icecreamdif 22:55, June 2, 2011 (UTC)
Also, DW isn't Star Wars, for which we can all be grateful. 89.241.73.69 17:44, June 3, 2011 (UTC)
Wouldn't it be interesting is she was Rose? (Unsigned)
Interesting but more than a little unlikely. 89.241.73.69 23:52, June 3, 2011 (UTC)
