:Or (slightly more likely, and what I'm personally going with for now) maybe this River just happens to be from a much later time period than the versions of her we'll see again soon. Maybe her line about "travelling with him, but not all the time" isn't because she can't, but because she already knows she didn't. That would also explain her comment about being pardoned "ages ago", and how this appearance could still be long after the crash of the Byzantium. I still argue that we don't know for absolute certain that River actually showed up in the last episode with the intention of helping everyone. She was already there before everyone else, and could very well have been doing her own thing when Rory showed up, since she seemed to know so much about what was going on. She knew about the problems with time that were happening there, she seemed to know who Grayle was beforehand, and other people (including Grayle) were already aware of her being called Melody Malone and that she was studying Angels- even though the book had not yet been released in that time period. But getting back to the point about prison: If this '''is''' a later River as I described, then it's possible for her to have simply broken out for good and lied about it. Seemingly the only reason for her to have ever kept returning to prison was to keep the Silence from knowing she didn't actually kill him, and either going after him again or worse- using '''her''' against him again. Meaning if this is a "late" River, she could be from after the events that stop the Silence for good, and have no reason to stay in prison at all anymore.

::History has changed. The clerics never had her in custody after the crash of the Byzantium. None of their dialogue in Time of Angels/Flesh and Stone happened in this new timeline. River turned herself in, or the crew of the Teselecta arrested her, but after a short time in prison, when River became aware that there was no longer any reason for her to pretend to have killed a Doctor who no one has heard of. With no body, no witnesses, and no record of anyone missing, there was no legal grounds to hold her and she was pardoned. Perhaps history will continue to change until she was no longer arrested at all, but for now we only know that her prison time was substantially shorter than it was before and the circumstances of her release were very different. -- [[User:Rowan Earthwood|Rowan Earthwood]] [[User talk:Rowan Earthwood|<span title="Talk to me">☎</span>]] 02:47, October 2, 2012 (UTC)
