*How does River Song recognise the tenth Doctor? The tenth Doctor changes his appearance to the eleventh Doctor (as confirmed in the fifth series). River does mention that the Doctor's appearence is 'young' but not different. However, River does discover that the Doctor is an earlier form of himself than the Doctor she tried to contact and that is why he does not recognise her but surely she should know that already seeing that his appearance would be different to the Doctor she would have known. ''The tenth doctor still has not regenerated, meaning he has all the time between now and his next regeneration to meet River. Furthermore, in the original series those that knew certain Time Lords well were able to recognize them even after multiple regenerations. If River Song deeply loved the Doctor one might assume she recognized before she noticed his age or even his previous regeneration. There are a remarkable number of point when the Tenth Doctor is without a companion for an unspecified period of time; between Runaway Bride and Smith & Jones, Voyage of the Damned and Partners in Crime, Journey's End and The Next Doctor, The Next Doctor and Planet of the Dead, Planet of the Dead and The Waters of Mars, and presumably The Waters of Mars and the 2009 Christmas Specials. Travels with River Song could have happened at any of these points after Journey's End. This is similar to the situation with Elizabeth I.'' | *How does River Song recognise the tenth Doctor?

*The Doctor claims that he never lands on Sundays, Sundays are boring. Yet the entire novel [[NSA]]:[[Wetworld]] is set on a planet named Sunday. Does this mean the novel can't be canon? ''The Doctor stating he finds a particular day boring has absolutely no impact whatsover on whether or not he had an adventure on a planet of the same name.'' | *The Doctor claims that he never lands on Sundays, Sundays are boring.

*The message on the psychic paper doesn't say the time or date that the Doctor should land in the Library so how does he manage to arrive a few minutes before River Song arrived? Additionally how does he know to land in the section that she will arrive in? | *The message on the psychic paper doesn't say the time or date that the Doctor should land in the Library so how does he manage to arrive a few minutes before River Song arrived?
