Wasn't it basically made VERY clear that River wasn't dead? After all, how long had the rest of the Library inhabitants been "saved" for? All that would have to happen would be that The Doctor places her consciousness in some kind of artificial body. Problem solved! --[[Special:Contributions/71.201.148.238|71.201.148.238]]<sup>[[User talk:71.201.148.238#top|talk to me]]</sup> 09:57, January 15, 2013 (UTC) | Wasn't it basically made VERY clear that River wasn't dead?

What was "basically made VERY clear" was that she '''was''' dead but that her "data ghost" had been saved in the sonic screwdriver & that it was transferred to CAL's hard drive. It was even made clear that the ability to regenerate wouldn't have kept her alive. Admittedly, when we first saw the story, we'd no way of knowing that River had once herself been able to regenerate. It looked then as if it just meant that '''the Doctor''' couldn't have survived, either. --[[Special:Contributions/2.101.63.84|2.101.63.84]]<sup>[[User talk:2.101.63.84#top|talk to me]]</sup> | What was "basically made VERY clear" was that she '''was''' dead but that her "data ghost" had been saved in the sonic screwdriver & that it was transferred to CAL's hard drive.

Admittedly, when we first saw the story, we'd no way of knowing that River had once herself been able to regenerate. It looked then as if it just meant that '''the Doctor''' couldn't have survived, either. The unclear bit is whether or not she could be retrieved from CAL's hard drive into a restored body. Donna & most of the inhabitants of the Library could be, because they were saved using the teleport & that meant their bodies were saved, too. Those who, like River, were actually killed & then saved as "data ghosts" could '''not''' be restored in that way. | ||
The question raised by the chair empty of remains is this: Would those remains have been enough to allow the creation of a new body, thus making up for the fact that, unlike Donna, River wasn't saved to the hard drive while still alive & were her remains missing because, unknown to the Tenth Doctor (& us) at the time, they had been taken so that could be done? --[[Special:Contributions/2.101.63.84|2.101.63.84]]<sup>[[User talk:2.101.63.84#top|talk to me]]</sup> 12:10, January 17, 2013 (UTC) | |||
