River Song? Who? Why? How?

05 September 2009

Basically, River Song is back, and what i am going to do is link what River Song said in Silence In the Library and Forest of the Dead and speculate what is going to happen in episode 5.4 when the 11th Doctor and Amy Pond meet her again for The Doctor the second time and for River Song, The first.... so lets begin.
First some pictures confiming her return:


River song is back and was snapped during filming on Southerndown beach wearing some unusual clothes and looking rather sinister, its a little different from the other one (above) but you can see heatwaves around her ankles so the explosion has already happened, but is she the reason for it happening? after all she is holding a control pad:





A BLAST FROM THE PAST



"Funny thing is, this means you've always known how I was going to die. All the time we've been together, you knew I was coming here. The last time I saw you, the real you, the future you, I mean, you turned up on my doorstep, with a new haircut and a suit. You took me to Darillium to see the singing towers. Oh, what a night that was! The towers sang, and you cried. You wouldn't tell me why, but I suppose you knew it was time. My time. Time to come to the Library. You even gave me your screwdriver; that should've been a clue. "


Professor River Song - Forest Of The Dead



The Doctor does have a new suit, so we can persume this is the first time he meets River Song again? So we can also think that 'you turned up on my doorstep' so wherever they have landed River Song lives there? And also The 11th doctor has a different hair style. Darillium, We can expect The Doctor to visit here with River song and possibly Amy Pond.
The Doctor gives river song his sonic screwdriver? A recent picture shows The 11th Doctor chucking a thing that looks remarkably like River Songs sonic screwdriver and it was taken on Southerndown Beach where they first meet her again.


"Oh, for heaven's sake! Look at the pair of you, we're all going to die here and you're just squabbling like an old married couple!"
[The Doctor and Prof. River Song look at each other in emotional surprise]




Mr Lux - Silence In The Library



Well its always a possibility, after all The Doctor did give her his Sonic Screwdriver... Or did he? He could have given her A Sonic Screwdriver, after all The Doctor does like to keep spares, but also... He told her his NAME No one knows his name except himself but at school people called him 'Theta Sigma' but that was a nickname, so why would he do that? He loved Rose the most out of his companions but he never once told her his name. River Song must be really important to him.




"You know when you see a photograph of someone you know, but it's from years before you knew them? It's like they're not quite... finished, they're not done yet. Well... yes, the Doctor's here. He came when I called, just like he always does. But not my Doctor. Now my Doctor... I've seen whole armies turn and run away. And he'd just swagger off back to his TARDIS and open the doors with a snap of his fingers. The Doctor... in the TARDIS... next stop: everywhere."



Professor River Song - Forest Of The Dead



Well we know for a fact that The Doctor can do all of those things, except the clicking of the fingers? Will he never need a key anymore? But we have seen he needs a key at all times, in Utopia he cant get into the TARDIS without his key but yet again he didnt know about the clicking? So what does this mean for opening the TARDIS Doors? Will Amy ever have a TARDIS key? Or just her fingers? What if they get chopped off? Well, that mysteries sparked...



RIVER
Ha! I hate you sometimes!

DOCTOR
I know!


Does he now...? Has i dawned on him who River Song really is?



"Listen, all you need to know is this... I'd trust that man to the end of the universe. And actually, we've been."



Professor River Song - Forest Of The Dead




Well we now know for a fact that at some point River Song will travel with The Doctor, But Amy Pond? We shall find out, but we all know that Captain Jack and Martha went to the end of the Universe with The Doctor? Some speculation suggested that River Song was Captain Jack.. but thats impossible isn't it? after all... Jack is the Face of Boe!


Argghh all these questions, but its safe to say that River Song is:


> A very close person to The Doctor
> She meets the Doctor in series 5 as the 11th Doctor
> The Doctor gives her his Sonic Screwdriver and knows that she will die
> The Doctor tells her his name for some reason
> Wherever The Doctor and Amy land this is where River Song lives
> The Doctor knows River song but she doesnt know him, Whereas previously it was the other way round


But anyway heres something to tantallise your speculationing thing...

In Silence in The Library, River song says to The Doctor "Crash of Byzantium? Done that yet?" And whilst filming on Southerndown Beach here is what all the peices of debris have written on them...





THE CRASH OF BYZANTIUM! Yes thats right, so whatever she was asking he has done yet.. hes doing it now! A clear indicator that he will be doing possibly all the things river song said in Silence in the Library and Forest of the Dead.




That is all! Please comment as this is my first post :)

I'm reading this two years later and it's an incredibly insightful post. Especially when you consider we've seen River so many times now and at different stages of her life...

Yeah well now we know River Song aka Melody Pond is Amy and Rory's daughter.
