== Clara, River and the Time War == | |||
Hi, there were several problems. Mostly, they stem from the fact that your information was almost exclusively based on television stories. You see, there may well be an [[T:IU|in-universe]] statement from the Doctor confirmed by the likes of Moffat. But then some comic story writer doesn't get the memo and completely ignores it. Overall, the amount of inaccuracies in the post warranted its deletion. So let me explain my main problems: | |||
* "River is a thief and a great archaeologist". This is implying a speculation at best. Since she is a thief, she must have stolen something? In addition, this is not how objective posts are written. Please reread [[Tardis:Neutral point of view]]. She is an archaeologist, yes. Thief? Was she convicted? Is she more of a "thief" than the Doctor? | |||
* "The Doctor also explained the Time War has been time locked, and nothing can get in or get out, unless the Moment "let" you "through"." Yes, the Doctor claimed that it's impossible to get through the Time Lock. He did not claim it could only be done by the Moment, just realised that on this particular occasion she was responsible. But in the story arc of the second year of ''[[Doctor Who: The Eleventh Doctor]]'', the [[Eleventh Doctor]] engineers a way for [[Alice Obiefune]] to be sent to the Time War. What's more, River herself visits pre-Time War [[Gallifrey]] in ''[[Doom Coalition 4 (audio anthology)|Doom Coalition 4]]''. | |||
* "River could nonetheless encounter the Eighth Doctor when he tried to avoid being part of the Time War" River's meeting with the Eighth Doctor was neither a singular occurrence nor an exception. For instance, in ''[[The Diary of River Song (audio series)|The Diary of River Song]]'', she meets with the [[Sixth Doctor|Sixth]] and [[Seventh Doctor]]s, sometimes simultaneously. | |||
The [[Doctor Who universe]] is immensely large. That is why it is very hard to prove that something did not happen. Sorry, but your argument fell short of such a proof. Note, I'm not saying your conclusion is necessarily wrong. But the justification is lacking for now.
