If you’ve not watched the mind blowingly amazing latest episode of Doctor Who, don’t worry. I’m not going to spoil it for you! (And if you have I don’t need to, right?). My theory about the identity of River Song still holds though, with a few tantalizing lines confirming it even more in my mind.
River Song is…….
The TARDIS.
More accurately, she is the TARDIS from the future (after….. y’know… that THING happens) regrown from Amy’s Ring. That’s why she can fly the TARDIS, write Gallifreyan and keeps a dairy (her “memory bank”) that looks an awful lot like the ol’ Police Box. As she is regrown, her Chameleon circuit is working too, which is why she looks amazingly like Alex Kingston. And yes, that does mean that River Song is bigger on the inside than she is on the outside.
Don’t go there.
Want more proof?
Add an L from somewhere (I’m sure they’ll invent a middle initial or something) and River L. Song is an anagram of Lover’s Ring. Ok, it’s a stretch, but worse anagrams have been made in Doctor Who :D
In this episode she says to herself “Oh Doctor. It’s amazing I let you out” – something only the TARDIS can say!
The TARDIS is The Doctor’s constant companion, friend, ally, and has proven time and again (no pun intended) that she is utterly devoted to him. In a way, she IS his wife. The TARDIS has demonstrated her ability to create Sonic Screwdrivers which explains how she got one in Silence in the Library.
As to what on Earth she is up to, and what’s going to happen next episode, I haven’t the foggiest idea.
But I do know one thing.
It will be amazing.
In Moff, we trust.
I think Moffat is using a lot of history in his stories. Like he has the hero who fights and fails. Only to grow and learn from his mistakes.
Most guys given the choice between Transformers and Sex in the City would choose what?
Moffat will travel down that dark road. So did Davies somewhat. Except he didn’t kill any companions? Will Steven Moffat dare to go down that road of killing Rory again? Unless he dead already and plastic Rory has been in his place for a while.
Lets play a new game. I think we can say who is River Song !!. I havent got the timeline worked out in my head yet about Rivers conception date, i wasnt there, But it seems Amy was swopped before America and at the start of the first gangers episode as they enter Caerphilly castle, the doctor and Amy indicate that they had been there before without Rory. But I transgress, Who is Eye Patch Lady? I will open the bidding with…
Eye Patch Lady is..DAVROS.
He was left behind on the mothership when Doctor Donna saved the universe. He was known for his gene manipulation. [Baby River is human dna + timelord]. He crafted the last of the classic daleks from his own dna. Has he regenerated himself as a totally new entity, who would look for a female Davros, s/he could work without drawing too much attention to his true being as a female/walking. Look at EP Lady when she tells the doctor that she has fooled him with the same trick for a second time. She has black lips and mouth and when she calls him ‘Doctor’[Dok-tor], she doesnt half look like Davros when she speaks Doctor, with the same venomous inflection as Davros. Davros wasnt a Russell Grant..Davies.. character invention, he is a fixed point in the Doctor Who history, and so isnt ‘a new enemy’.
Do watch the first Doctor / Amy episode again, there are so many quotes and hints in that episode for the rest of the series.
But what is it with all these mobiles. The orphanage, the pirate ship, somewhere else and the Doctors Cot.
Mobiles are kind of childhood thing. Moffat was showing that every culture has mobiles.
We have clues concerning the crack in the wall. Size of the house and why Prisoner Zero stayed in Amy house. He could of gone anywhere. Could it be, he was sent there to watch her?
I don’t think you’ll find the person behind it all to be a past villain. If it were, I vote for Omega over the rest.
Plot info for Lets kill Hitler , has leaked after a showing.
It seems that our Time Lord chases Melody Pond thru history. Ending up in 1930′s Germany. Facing the Universe greatest war criminal and Hitler too.
The teacher (know as the Doctor) must show his adversaries that time travel has great responsibilities. But the teacher learns a lesson himself in the cruelest warfare of them all.
First, nice to have Who stuff to work with again. Yahoo!
Second, we know the Doctor was going after her, no surprise there.
Third, we knew he was going to Germany in 1930′s, again no surprise.
Fourth, who is the greatest war criminal? Not Hitler, since it is universe , not earth they were talked about.
Fifth, of course, the Doctor is going to Point out where the evil villain is wrong.
Sixth, what does he learn? Could it be that there is no tooth sharper than thankless child?
Following Moffat writing history, he writes about issues in his life at the moment. What’s up on that front? He seems happy married and has kids. Kids can be a pain. I know, I was there once as a child and have one of my own. Kids can be real thankless little critters.
Well gang, time for those little grey cells to be put to work.
Anti – Spoiler alert|
Most interesting idea came across my desk just now. That the greatest War Criminal is the Doctor himself. Look at pass shows. He has used others to join him in his battles.
A little while ago, I would of gone with Omega. But now I wonder, the use of Omega is fine and logical answer. But is that Moffat’s point, really? Davies had the villains in the past accuse the Doctor of being the problem.
But let’s go on Moffat reign alone. We now know that first Moffat season is tied into the present. In the The Pandorica Opens and The Big Bang all his enemies say he caused the crack. What if he did? Directly or indirectly?
Now I say 50 -50 chance it’s a villain from the past. 50-50 chance it’s the Doctor. I been told in past shows there a evil version of a future Doctor.
Is this his price he pays for being a GOD? Because. The truth is,he has been God. I posted Moffat saying the Doctor was super liberal. “if you didn’t do what he says,he blow up your planet” he said that at a Comic Con, afterwards to a panel of reporters. Said as a joke, what if , it was a joke, but also in truth a spoiler?
I base this on not Dr Who’s past, past be damned. I again say more has been hinted by Steven Moffat. His desire to show the Doctor as he pictures it.
Saving the universe so many times is boring. Moffat is not a man who wants to bore or be bored.
So Lex, we have to see if you have a better cup of tea leafs than me. 8-)

Question has been posed that how does River get out of prison easily.
Simple , the Doctors request. Same reason she couldn’t travel with him when he asked her. He requested her to stay in the prison or worked a deal to stay there.
Life is what you do while waiting to die.
They say, that life is what you do while waiting to die.
Rambling observation/questions
When the Doctor goes back for Amy in the start he comments on there being a new garden shed in the garden, which Amy shrugs off, could this be another tardis configured in disguise.
In the Whitehouse toilet {Bog [restroom]} when the Silent killed [atypical 1960's Visioned American Lady], he referred to her as Joy, which at first I thought he meant ‘had joy from blowing her up’, not her name and he called Amy Emelia. How did he know her name, they had only just arrived at Whitehouse….had they already previously abducted and ‘gangered her. Also in the Whitehouse, when Amy observes the Silent from the oval room, stood directly behind her looking at the doorway is one of the Presidents guards men, how come he didn’t react to the Silent being there, good guard if he stood there with eye closed.
Read somewhere about Rory changing into Omega. If Rory/Omega is the person in the spacesuit who kills ‘ganger’ Doctor, and River goes on later to kill the spaceman, which would be Rory, a girls ‘Best man ever known’, is generally a Father figure.
Lost as to my timeline, but now the blueman is dead in AGMGTW, is the timeline out of order, as River purchases the vortex manipulator from him – with wrist attachment.
I also think that the Master is going to reappear from Morpeth Jetsam Industries, or Davros as being the gene manipulator who manipulated Baby Melody’s DNA structure.
Used your posting to make mine clearer , I hope. 8-)

(That could be possible. Since a Tardis can disguise it self or is it a Silent Tardis ?) js

(That is a unknown, fact need to check on that.)ms

(Half right, Rory killed (by river maybe at the Lake?) Don’t think he’s Omega.)js

(Blue man will be back at end of season. He will be a teacher to someone. Time is being used by Moffat as plot device.) js
I also think that the Master is going to reappear from Morpeth Jetsam Industries, or Davros as being the gene manipulator who manipulated Baby Melody’s DNA structure.
(Don’t think so, Moffat doesn’t like to use too many prior ideas and people. Unless he uses Scooby Doo plots)js
