:: Something that's been nagging at my mind for a while: Would it not be poetic justice if the River Song we see recaptured by Kovarian and company at the end of ''Closing Time'' -- and therefore the River Song in the spacesuit in the lake -- turned out to be a Flesh duplicate? Kovarian (in ''A Good Man Goes to War'') was so smug about fooling the Doctor twice by using that trick, it would be rather sweet revenge if he fooled her with it at the critical moment. Various people have, of course, speculated that the Doctor who was shot might have been a ganger but that assumes a Flesh duplicate could at least appear to start regenerating. Replacing River with a ganger wouldn't have that problem. It also wouldn't (on its own) prevent the Doctor being killed but it would be a nice touch -- "nice" in the old-fashioned sense, as well as the modern one -- if it was part of the Doctor's way out of the trap. --[[Special:Contributions/89.240.240.113|89.240.240.113]] 01:41, September 30, 2011 (UTC) | :: Something that's been nagging at my mind for a while: Would it not be poetic justice if the River Song we see recaptured by Kovarian and company at the end of ''Closing Time'' -- and therefore the River Song in the spacesuit in the lake -- turned out to be a Flesh duplicate?

I doubt it. Sure, we haven't seen the Doctor for 200 years, and we know that he has met an older River during that period(Jim the Fish), but the young River that Kovarian kidnapped at the end didn't seem like she had seen the Doctor since ''Let's Kill Hitler'', so this leaves the question as to when the Doctor made the swap. I guess he could have done it before he took her to the hospital, but kidnapping someone and replacing them with a clone just isn't the kind of thing the Doctor would do. Besides, we already saw the Doctor die, so to get out of it either the Doctor needs to be the one replaced by a Ganger, or more likely, something timey wimey needs to happen that allows him to avoid his death while still being killed in front of Amy, Rory, Canton, River, and River. Based on his general mood in ''Closing Time'', he doesn't seem to have any plan to survive and has instead accepted that he must face his upcoming death. If he was lying and was going to avoid his death, then why bother telling Craig and Stormy about it at all?[[User:Icecreamdif|Icecreamdif]] <sup>[[User talk:Icecreamdif|talk to me]]</sup> 05:59, September 30, 2011 (UTC) | |||
