BEDA # 24 Doctor Who - River Song theories

Hello Blog!

Happy Easter! if you celebrate it, if not Happy Sunday!

Today I'm going to talk about Doctor Who, again. About yesterday's episode, so I'll be talking about all the rumors around the characters that I've heard, some that I thought of and some that my friends have told me. So, if you don't want to know about Doctor Who theories stop reading now. This will be basically about River Song.

In Flesh and Stone River tells the Doctor that she ¨killed the best man [she]'d ever known¨. This made me think of the Doctor at first, then it all seemed not possible because then she wouldn't have sacrificed herself in Forest of the Dead. But then again, time can be re-written.

The Eleventh Doctor starts and River shows up again, and there are parts in the show in which River acts weird around Amy, it reminded me of how she moved around Donna in Silence in the Library. But then she doesn't recognize Rory as a Roman, so that kinda killed the theory about being Rory who she kills.*

So this for me leaves the Doctor again. And this is where I enter what a friend Dulce told me today.

This theory is that River kills the Doctor, and that the kid inside the Astronaut uniform is River as a kid. The only thing wrong I see with this, is that River have tried to kill the astronaut as he stepped into the water.
But I've been thinking about this all day and I think it could happen.

Remember how when Rose is trying to get back to the Doctor she tells Jackie that the doctor took her to met her dad ans that she was with him when he died. She tells Jackie to remember. Time had been re-written so maybe that could indeed be River, and although the are both ¨going in opposite directions¨ the Doctor would have know all along how he and she die.

This also means that River's Doctor is Eleven. which means that Ten wasn't that young, well fine maybe a couple hundred years younger but you know what I mean.

One last thing. WTH is up about Amy being pregnant (if you haven't seen Doctor Who Confidential do it NOW), this makes me think a lot about how things ended in Torchwood with one of the team being pregnant.

Someone asked me why I liked River, one of the reasons is the actress I really, really like her. Another is because I like the Doctor not being the one that knows it all for a change, and the last one is because their relationship reminds me of The Time Traveler's Wife, he met her as a kid, she fell in love, by the time he meets her she has the ¨spoilers¨ and he sort of has to play along because it is something that already happened anyway.

Days until LeakyCon: 79
This time I have 2 quotes, one that I think is talking about this episode and the whole series:
The Doctor: Don't know. Let's see if someone tries to kill us, and work backwards.
And the next one just because it is Eleven's kinda humor:
The Doctor: I wear a Stetson now. Stetson's are cool.

*I just realized this ¨not recognizing¨ while rewatching The Pandorica Opens and The Big Bang yesterday.
