A topic for the discussion of Doctor Who, Arrow, and The Flash. Beware possible invasions of iZombie, Sleepy Hollow, or pretty much any other "genre" (read: sci fi, superhero, or fantasy) show that captures our fancy. Expect adult content and discussion of the Big Gay Sex.
Marvel superheroes are discussed over at the MCU thread.
Whitefont all unaired in the U.S. ep discussion, identifying it as such, and including the show and ep title in blackfont.
Blackfont is allowed after the show has aired on the east coast.
This is NOT a general TV discussion thread.
but if it's a younger River, wouldn't the current River remember having killed the Doctor?
Perhaps she does. She has said that she killed a very good man and she's the one who's most insistent that they not interfere and tell current Doctor what's going on. She may know what potential ramifications are and still does it because she loves him and will do what's ultimately best for him/the Universe. She shoots at herself but misses? Come on-- we've seen her shoot a Stetson from many paces.
I like the it's yet another iteration of the Doctor theory.
I wonder, too, if it could be the Master. Oh, to see John Simm and Matt Smith on screen together.
We have to wait until she's just looking at the photos on her phone for no reason and stumbles across it.
That's going to be the most nerve wrecking who's on first sci-fi scene. I hope they'll spare it from us.
You know, sort of lost in all of this, is how things are going to change with Amy's pregnancy. The Doctor, being the Doctor, is going to be bemused, as he is by most things human, but will otherwise progress as usual and continue to thrust Amy into perilous sorts of situations and Amy, being Amy, will rush headlong into them.
It's going to be Rory who steps up and puts the brakes on, occasionally, which is going to create some lovely, lovely tension, especially between he and the Doctor.
Oh, Moff, you crafty bastard.
Oh, to see John Simm and Matt Smith on screen together.
You've got my vote.
She has said that she killed a very good man
And it was implied it wasn't the Doctor. Or at least, the version of Doctor that was in question, a season or two ago.
I need to re-watch that scene and see if I can get a read off of River: whether her reactions make sense with having seen the scene from the other perspective (and, one assumes, additional knowledge).
eta: It could also be the little girl who's in the spacesuit in '69, all grown up, which would make something like sense, as well.

We don't know for certain that she's pregnant. I think the "unexplained" nausea was throwing her off.

After she shoots at the Astronaut and misses, she says, "Of course not." That says to me that she knows who the Astronaut is and has met him or her later in the Astronaut's lifetime. Or that it's herself at a younger age. I realize it's unlikely that she'd try to kill her younger self, but maybe she thinks she deserves it?

I meant that the little girl is also River.
I like this theory, but isn't the little girl American?
isn't the little girl American?
Do you think? The accent sounded a bit Northern British to me.
You guys! I got the BEST thing ever at Sakura-con today! A set of six Doctor Who figures, each with its own side of a Pandorica Box. Each side holds a CD with an audio book on it.
There's a Weeping Angel and best of all... the Doctor figurine is wearing a fez.

Clearly, I will have to re-watch.
I will admit that I don't always even register accents anymore unless they're notably bad or hard-to-understand.
