Yeah, but these days Doctor Who isn't quite episodic, is it. It isn't like Torchwood where the entire season is esentially one story, but it is still one story told over several episodes. I think that the River Song arc would have been stronger if he had mapped out at least a general idea of what he wanted to do with the character. Obviously I'm not saying that when he was writing ''Silence in the Library '' he should have been thinking "OK, so in 2011 I'll do an episode where her previous incarnation goes to Berlin, regenerates, and tries to kill the Doctor," but when he realized that he would be able to do an entire story arc involving the characte he could have planned out some of the major plot twists such as River being a childhood friend of her parents. I would imagine that if Moffat were to rewrite ''The Eleventh Hour'' knoinwing about the plot twists from ''Let's Kill Hitler'' that he would have given Mels a cameo.

:That would have just been stupid on Moffat's part. The Eleventh Hour: the Doctor is signalling the Atraxi with his screwdriver. Mels is seen walking by. Suddenly, she turns around and shoots the Doctor in the head. The Doctor dies before he can regenerate, and the Atraxi blow up the earth. ...Mels could never have appeared before now because 1) she was probably in jail, or 2) she would have killed or tried to kill the Doctor. --[[User:Bold Clone|<span style="color:darkblue">'''Bold'''</span>]] [[User Talk:Bold Clone|<span style="color:gold">'''Clone'''</span>]] 20:19, September 2, 2011 (UTC) | :That would have just been stupid on Moffat's part.

Why would she have shot the Doctor back then. If she shot the Doctor back then he would have died, Amy never would have travelled in the TARDIS, and Mels would never have been born. I'm sure she was waiting for a version of the Doctor from after ''A Good Man Goes to War'' to show up, or she would have just walked into UNIT HQ in the 70s (or 80s) and shot the Third Doctor. All that would have to happen would be when we're meeting all the Leadworth residents in the ''Eleventh Hour'' for Mels to show up and say something along the lines of ''Oh my god its you. Its the raggedy Doctor. I've always wanted to meet you.," add a bit more to show her personality and how she always gets into trouble, continue the episode, and everyone would have forgotten about her until ''The Let's Kill Hitler''. Then when she returned everyone would have just thought "Oh yeah, it's that character from last season. I guess she's going to be a companion now."[[User:Icecreamdif|Icecreamdif]] 20:58, September 2, 2011 (UTC) | |||
