The Doctor gets to know the real River Song in 2011 |
First seen in series 4 when the Doctor met a woman from his future, River Song has been a wealth of mystery. Her character is so wrapped up in time travel dynamics that in her first appearance we even saw her die!
Each time she meets the Doctor, the two have crossed time lines so that they are approaching each other from radically different points of reference. It's so confusing that River took to keeping a diary of the Doctor's timeline. She has hinted that the Doctor doesn't really know who she is but when he learns the secret it will change everything between them.
So who is River Song? Steven Moffatt has stated that we will learn her true identity in the 2011 sixth series, possibly as part of the finale. The spoiler below from http://doctorwhospoilers.com gives a few more details.
Read on at your own risk!
SPOILER WARNING
According to this poster the story features the usual "catch-up" conversation between River and The Doctor which takes place in an American Diner in the 1960's. He also says to expect "timey-wimey antics" on the scale of Series Five's finale The Big Bang. And the most intriguing of the three is that apparently Amy finds something out that River implores her to keep quiet. The same poster later added that the episodes feature a "future Doctor" and Amy's discovery is related to something that happens to The Doctor in the future. I'd be tempted to speculate that last one might have something to do with Moffat's earlier teasing that:
Amy is harbouring a big secret.
And could this secret lead to what Moffat has already told us about Episode Seven?
The calamitous and frankly shocking events at the climax of Episode 7… you will see the Doctor's life change forever, you will gasp in astonishment at the true nature of his relationship with Amy Pond.
This presumably means that the future Doctor is from either episode 7 or the finale and has met River Song for her first time. While River Song in the opening episodes has experienced the calamitous and frankly shocking events at the climax of Episode 7… All together now… Wibbly-Wobbly……
