Steven Moffat discusses River Song’s big reveal
One of the hottest topics of conversation at the moment concerns River Song, and Steven Moffat has reaffirmed that we’ll be given all our answers in Series 6!
Speaking to Vulture, NY Magazine’s entertaiment and culture blog, about the ongoing mystery, the showrunner explained: “You’ll find out who she is and what’s going on and how it all makes sense. That will explain a number of things. I’m writing the episode right now where the Doctor finds out who she is. We’re not going to endlessly tease.”
Who do YOU think River is? You can share all your theories in our ongoing discussion!
Spoilers…… LOL …..
oh god i dont know ive had many theories now i give up ,,, ill wait for the surprise and probably kick myself for not guessing.
Okay, so he’s writing it now – roughly which episode does that make it? Where do you think it should be? I reckon at the end of series 6. Bring on the twixt series tension!
Yeah, when was this interview? They have already filmed what the first block of episodes, and are currently filming the first 2 episodes of series 6..so if he’s writing the episode where the Doctor finds out, seems it would already have been written if it was to be in the first 1/2 of next year, right?
she could be an older doctors daughter from the series 3 the doctors daughter the only thing wrong with that good theorie is the flarting that she does if it wasnt for that i would have said she most diffenatly was lol
I’m SO excited for this, however I’m hoping that by finding out it doesn’t mean the end of her character, I hope she keeps popping up for years to come!!!
@SHAWN
Yeah, this was my theory, too. It was, after all, Steven Moffat who said Jenny shouldn’t die. Plus, think of the similarities: remember Jenny getting her, Donna and the Doctor out of jail?
@Jordan
Hear hear! Stay with us, River Song!
awwwww how exciting, Spoilers……
i hope they dont reveal all, as that is one of the reasons that makes river song so great, all that mystery surrounding her. i want her to be a big part of the future of the show because this year she was just amazing and i cant wait to see her return.
@TSG
i just hope she doesnt turn out evil cos ive fallen in love with her charactor since silence in the libary in series 4 and i think silence in the libary is not a coincedence name i think setephen moffat was planting that silence seed from way back then and remeber it was said that he would take over when series 4 was just starting to be made after a year of specials so he ad long enough to plan
@SHAWN
I just hope the Eleventh doctor dosent die and regenerate into benedict cumberbatch half way through.
i would like matt to do three years.
@robert
i heard he was stayin for at lest the 50th annaversary in 2013 did u r ne one noticed the tiny crack in the 11th hour on the doctors computer screen he looked at it funny and turned it of i think he knows something from the start and we wont know til next year what do u think?
@SHAWN
I think that was indicating Rift activity, or something that simply linked the crack to Amy, thats why it was on the screen when Amy walked past it, and thats why he took her with him
im watchin series 5 for the 3rd time snce i bought it at 9 o clock on mon i do that with all the series so i can annalize them and not miss ne thing i love the new doctor, tardis, companion oh and i love RIVER SONG lol really hope she dosent turn out to be nasty
@SHAWN
The crack on the TARDIS scanner was just a reference to the TARDIS being controlled in the finale.
Comment removed. Please don’t post any personal details!
does n e one know n e thing about the plot r aliens in the xmas special this year i only know that katerine jankins and the man whos in harry potters in it but nothin else ?
Well one thing for sure, its can’t be his daughter because during “Silence in the library” River didn’t know that she was with Donna Noble. The doctor’s daughter spent time with her so she would have recognized her as Donna was the one to name Jenny in the first place!
Here are my theories.. River is a Time Lord that gave up her ability. Anyone remember the woman that kept appearing to Wilfred during the tenth doctors final hours?
She could also be like Susan, a family member of a Time Lord…maybe even a relative of the Master….
Or River belonged to the now defunct Time Agency and that’s why she knows lots about time travel.
Whatever or whoever she turns out to be, one thing is clear… If she has pictures of all the doctors incarnations as she claimed, it may explain how she knows his name! I think the only time the Doctor would trust someone with his name is when he knows he’s on his deathbed and no one could use it against him.
I dont ever want to find out who riversong is, because that mystery makers her the character she we all love and know, all we need is occasional hint and clue about her as that what keeps the excitment in the show cos once thats gone what we gonna be left with? more reapearances of the daleks?, cybermen?………
@Grace
Oh, of course she’s not Jenny. Why didn’t I think of that?
I don’t think she’s ‘the woman’ though. For one thing, she was an SM creation and ‘the woman’ was from RTD. For another, ‘the woman’ was supposedly the Doctor’s mother (or at least RTD said so) and that would just be bizarre.
@SHAWN
i heard that as well but i still can’t get the Sun rumour out of my head eventhough i want matt to remain in the Tardis until 2013 because despite what other fans say, i think there is alot more milage in him and what dirsction is character will go.
give him two more years so he can develop it much more.
I remember Tom baker started off pretty sketchy and then he just became brillant by the end of his rum.
I think River turns out to be the Rani.
I also think the Silnce is like an orgaision and river is a part of it.
I also have heard there could be a character next years whos name ryhmes with the silence but that will be just to obious for my liking.
now I didn’t know Harold Saxon was the The Master all along.
Plus I also heard that Niels Grahams Episode will have a old character with a new face. So i think its possible that something about the regeneration limit will be gone it to deatial.
Because i don’t think the words utted by smith in Death of the Doctor are just throway. I don’t know about 507 but i think it could be 16 lives (with one evil incartion.)
Because 16 is a more healthy number. and i think the 20th incration would just sound silly.
and Tyler the truth will have to come to light one day.
