+::Well, Romana was brought back from E-Space in the spinoff media and became President of Gallifrey. As RTD himself pointed out, even if you ignore the licensed novels and audios, the BBC webcast version of Shada had Lady President Romana with the Eighth Doctor. As far as he's concerned, Romana was the President who was replaced by Rassilon.
+::However, none of that actually happened on screen in the show, so if Moff wants to go with a strict TV-or-nothing continuity, he could bring Romana back. (He could even have Paul Cornell remake his novel Goth Opera with 11 instead of 5, just like he did with Human Nature.)
+::Pandora, on the other hand, doesn't even exist other than in the spinoff continuity; if you bring her back, you pretty much have to accept that Romana came back and was President during the LGTW, which means she's dead.
+::Also, even if Moff wanted to bring Romana back, why turn River into her? River and Romana are radically different characters, and both great characters, so why throw away one for no reason when you can have them both? In fact, they'd be even better interacting together, especially if Moffat is the writer (assuming here that Romana is at least a maybe-ex-girlfriend). --[[User:Falcotron|Falcotron]] 02:25, May 7, 2010 (UTC)
