For a long time I thought River Song was actually a future Doctor hiding her identity while stuck without a TARDIS, much as one of the previous Doctors was pretty much stuck on Earth and was forced to be a UNIT lackey for a long time..
Her eventual out-of-order presented fate doesn't really conflict with this idea. Considering she knows more about the TARDIS than The Doctor sometimes, it still makes me wonder.
You know, more than once I've wondered the same thing.
She repeatedly claims she's the doctor's wife...
But also seems to have a thing about not revealing the future...
Somehow she's just... Too smart for a human.
There's just something about her that makes you think she very well could be the doctor herself isn't there?
Except for that fact that in Forest of the dead she clearly says that the last time she saw the doctor he took her out and gave her his sonic screwdriver. She could be a time lady, i doubt it but eitherway it isnt possible that she is the doctor.
Why not? She could die 1000 years in the future... Doctor time. She could regenerate 15 other times then come back and die. That's the thing about time travel, being dead doesn't mean you can't do years of other stuff in between events (including your death).
As for the quote, she could lie (Doctor lies all the time)... or even a 1/2 truth. If she is the Doctor, she gave it to herself.
Mostly, I think river is a hook for 40 possibilities. Someone/something they left open to use for whatever they needed later on.
She could be the doctor, or not, easily enough... as well as many other things. Hell, she could be the Master, Sara-Jane, or a green CGI monster. She's written in such a way she could really be anyone... but she behaves a lot more like the Doctor than a companion though. She knows way too much and has that calmness about her in the face of doom.
