One point that is often confused is when the Centurion goes to River to ask her to join the Doctor at Demon's Run. River says she cannot go (yet). In her timeline, Demon's Run has to happen before that point when Centurion arrives to recruit her, which means this point is much later in her timeline, and the River that eventually shows up at Demon's Run was a younger version of her. This video actually gets this point right.

How i hate these nausea-causing levels of Plot Holes and Nonsense. There is literally no 'normal' series of events how this Fix Point can/should happen. There is literaly no reason why the Doctor should let him self get shoot by the Astronaut. Also, putting much effort into creating survival-expert River Song and then putting her into an Astronaut Suit that negates all her abilitys is laughable and nonsensical. Stupid Silence. I like this Fix-Point Buisness, but it's virtually impossible to execute it worse than here. Wow, impressively bad writing. The Doctor has no reason to die but he for no reason wants to die. It's nonsensical. And the Silence is just incompetent as heck anyways. Well, everyone is.

​@slevinchannel7589 The Silence originally envisioned Melody as becoming the perfect killing machine for the doctor but they didn't plan on her falling in love with him. So they had to make a workaround. Hence the suit. Why is she still needed if the suit is automatic? Because then River always knows that she killed the doctor, adding a whole new layer of complexity to the situation that further makes it a fixed point in time. Basically the Silence wanted his death to be the most temporally convoluted event ever, because they wanted it to be impossible for the Doctor to find a way around it. And they got very, very close. Oh and for the library thing, River knows that a day is coming where the doctor will not know her, and at the singing towers she knows that this is the last time they will meet, but that doesnt mean she'll never see him again. She'll just never see the doctor any farther along on his timestream than at that current point. It doesn’t mean she cant run into a younger version. From her perspective the next time she sees the Doctor it'll be 11 or maybe even a post-'Silence in the Library' 10. She doesnt know that the literal next time she sees him will be the end. Hence why she's taken by surprise in that episode. She's coming off of the 24 years excited to get into a scrape with a younger Doctor who, while not the one she spent all that time with, still knows her. But 10 doesn't.

For those who want to watch the episodes in River’s order, I thoroughly recommend it. Her story is so much more heartbreaking from her perspective. This is the order that they used in the Doctor Who Confidential episode for The Wedding of River Song, (I’ve added the other episode that have come out since 2011): 1. A Good Man Goes to War 2. The Impossible Astronaut/Day of the Moon 3. Let’s Kill Hitler 4. Closing Time 5. The Wedding of River Song 6. First Night/Last Night 7. First Night/Last Night (River from 5 years later) 8. A Good Man Goes to War (just after the 1814 Frost Fair) 9. A Good Man Goes to War (revealing her identity) 10. The Impossible Astronaut/Day of the Moon 11. Bad Night/Good Night (River is offscreen in these ones) 12. The Pandorica Opens/The Big Bang 13. The Time of Angels/Flesh and Stone 14. The Wedding of River Song 15. Rain Gods 16. Last Night 17. The Angels Take Manhattan 18. The Husbands of River Song 19. Silence in the Library/Forest of the Dead 20. The Name of the Doctor

Slevin Channel, it’s because River and the Doctor are both time travellers. Time travel allows people to meet out of sequence because they are both going in opposite directions. Hence they would never meet in the right order. Their lives are intertwined in a complex web. It’s also based on the wonderful novel called The Time Traveller’s Wife and Moffat uses it to create a modern Greek tragedy.

Also, she had no idea HOW it would end. She knew after The Library the Diary would be full, but she didn't know if she'd be eaten by the Vashta Nerada, or if she died by other means, or how it ended in the episode where she uploaded herself into the Data Core to help save everyone in it.

'Lies in ruins' was referenced at that point, not because that's when it takes place in her timeline (she was 'Professor Song' rather than 'Doctor' so it happened fairly late in her timeline anyway), but because in it Benny says that River was her most annoying pupil. Basically it was referenced because it referenced the point in her timeline that was being talked about, not happening at that point. If that makes any sense. Also I realise I might have misunderstood what you were saying, so I'm sorry if that's the case (/gen).

She spends a 24 year night with the 12th Doctor, the one who knows her the most, and then leaves for her final adventure with the 10th Doctor, the one who doesn't know who she is. Even the lengths of the two events are a mirror. She, as I mentioned, sepnt 24 years with 12, and barely spent a day with 10.

Okay so I could be wrong about this, and this is just how I personally explain it to myself to make this part of River's timeline make sense, so don't take this too seriously. So what I think is that she lived the 20-ish years between 1969 and when she found her parents in 1990 (idk the specific year but eh, for arguments sake I'm gonna say 1990). She regenerated in 1969/70, and after regenerating she consciously chose not to age (as suggested she can do in 'Let's kill Hitler'), or at least not age as fast as a human normally would. This meant even after spending 20-ish years looking for her parents, she still appeared the same age as her parents, even though she was actually around 20 years older than them, even then. This idea is kind of backed up in the Diary of River Song (big finish) story 'The Web of Time' (6x2). In the story she finds a 16 year old girl on the streets. She says, as someone who lived on the streets, she knows that when you do live on the streets you grow up much faster. This would seem odd given that (if you discard my theory/headcannon) River was only on the streets for 6 months. Yes I know that she was a kid at the time so she would've had to grow up even faster and maybe you could say that it's comparable, at a stretch. But in the story, River literally points a gun at the 16 year old and *knows* that she would be able to handle it. I personally think this shows that River was on the streets for longer than 6 months. Perhaps not the 20-ish years that I've suggested, but certainly for longer than Doctor Who directly shows. A really sad thing about this theory that always gets me when I think about it too hard, is that in this version of events, there are literally only two times where River is younger than her parents; when she's born, and when they see her in 1969 (the child version of her I mean). Again this is just my personal theory/headcannon, but I personally think it fits pretty well (but feel free to make any criticisms).

Besides, one of the best and most bittersweet things about River is that for us the audience ( just like the Doctor) the more we got to know and love her the more we reminded that our 1st interaction with her was her death. Her whole story was a tour de force that I doubt will ever be topped by another companion's story.

@@slevinchannel7589 Ultimately the reason why is because the writers wrote it that way. Within the story it just one of those weird things that happen, one could call it fate I guess. . If you think of it, no matter who's perspective you start from, when they 1st met the other, that person knew all about them and had all these experiences with them. So after that you could think of them being 'locked by causality' to always be moving in opposite directions through time relative to each other. . There really is a romantic aspect to it in that whole star crossed Romeo and Juliet sorta way. Just like River says, when she notices the doctor say it is their 1st kiss she then knows that it is their last. All the romance and affection she remembers has ended. Every time she sees him, he knows her less and she knows him more. . But it also the same from The Doctor's POV. The very time he mets her she ends up dying and being saved to the library. So that is always looming over his head possibly why he tries to avoid her while really liking her (possibly loving her in some alien way). . Blah blah blah..sorry I tend to go into way too much detail when i type. To answer your question why I'd say because they were 'causality-bound' for lack of a better term.

We still don't know how River went from a toddler in the 1960s in America, to a grade-schooler in her parents' home town in the 1990s. Well, I think I know how it could have happened.... She got a lift. From River Song. We've seen several multi-Doctor episodes, and a multi-Master episode, why not a multi-River episode? If an older River were present, it would explain why we've never heard from River how she got there - the time lines were out if synch and she couldn't retain the memory of what happened, same reason Davison's Doctor didn't remember what happened to his past selves in the Death Zone until he got there and lived through it. Alex Kingston has said she'd *love* to play River getting to meet her wife. Wouldn't this make a great way to do it? You could hire the girl who played Schoolgirl Mels, she'd be able to play Mels and the actress having aged wouldn't be a problem like the adult Mels would be, and there could be *any* regeneration(s) between Orphanage Melody regenerating in the USA and Gradeschooler Mels showing up in her parents' classes. Could even set up a River/Melody incarnation who could show up in future Big Finish productions!

I can only imagine her joy at discovering the Doctor had come when she called, only to have him not know her. Of course, she would have kept her cool demeanor until she was forced to confront the facts of the situation, then she did let her guard down and express her feelings of confusion.

For anyone who likes Doctor Who, watch all of the episodes with River Song in them from the last episode to the very first one to watch it from her perspective.

The one thing I wish they did different with her is to make their meetings random, so not in reverse order but one day she knows everything about him and the next she would be nearly as clueless as he was.

But that *is* (at least partly) what happened. (A number of viewers mistakenly take as gospel River's noting in "The Impossible Astronaut" that she and the Doctor live "back to front"... but we, as the viewing audience, know factually that that *isn't* the case, but rather what River at that point in her timeline _mistakenly_ believed. We, however, know that their encounters *aren't* back-to-front, but generally more random with _some_ instances favoring one side more than the other.) River's knowledge of what, exactly, was going on is less so then more so then less so in a number of scenes relative to certain episodes.

I don't think we will to be honest, she's my fave character out of everything ever but Steven Moffat wasn't even going to do the Husbands of River Song, he was persuaded to do that by someone else, RTD iirc. And I think that after seeing her post-death in The Name of the Doctor, and then seeing her final night with the Doctor on Darillium, it wouldn't make that much sense to bring her back into the TV show other than *maybe* for a very brief one-scene job in a Christmas special or something.
