*The Doctor says "Who are you?" to [[River Song]], ironic because he is always the one being asked that.

*River Song whispers the Doctor's name in his ear to convince him to trust her. Later, the Doctor states that there is only one reason why he would have told anyone his name and only one time when he could; the reason nor the time it can be revealed is not explained.

*River Song indicates that "her Doctor" is a future version of the Tenth Doctor. It remains to be seen how this will reconcile with later adventures of the Tenth Doctor up to and including his eventual death and regeneration. ''It may just be that she is able to recognize the Doctor through telepathy. Being capable of summoning the Doctor via his psychic paper would indicate that prior to her physical death she did have some sort of telepathic abilities. Jack Harkness was also able to recognize the Doctor after his regeneration.'' However, it took her a while to realize that the Doctor hadn't met her yet in his personal timeline. If he didn't meet her until a future incarnation, this should have been obvious to her immediately (unless she just assumes this version of the doctor is later than ''her'' doctor). Jack was able to recognize the Doctor because of the TARDIS and, presumably, the Doctor's hand. He also would have known of the Doctor's regeneration and appearance in the Christmas Invasion via UNIT and the British government, otherwise he wouldn't have known about the arm.

''Additionally, it is also possible that River Song's Doctor is in fact a later incarnation who happens to physically resemble the Tenth Doctor, in much the way the [[Eighth Doctor]] has been noted as having similar features to the [[First Doctor]].''
*The Doctor learns the fate of River Song, and retains this memory through to their "first" meeting in the future. The future Doctor will adjust his sonic screwdriver in order to preserve Song's consciousness so his younger self will be able to preserve her within Cal.

*If you look closely at the wall in Charlotte's house you will see three of her drawings are of a blonde girl, a wolf and what looks like a dalek.
