| Jul 28, 2014 at 20:19 | comment | added | calccrypto | @SachinShekhar yeah. on screen, we see her with the 10th and 11th Doctors. The way I misunderstood your previous comments was: she interacted with Doctors 12, 13... which we wouldn't know about yet, unless you are a time traveler | |

| Jul 28, 2014 at 18:23 | comment | added | Doctor Doom | @calccrypto When she died, she was with 10th Doctor. When she silenced TARDIS, she was with 11th Doctor. Both Doctors knew nothing about her, but she knew everything about him. Watch all River Song episodes again.. | |

| Jul 28, 2014 at 18:09 | comment | added | Doctor Doom | @calccrypto No, she has history with future regenerations. | |
| Jul 28, 2014 at 18:05 | comment | added | calccrypto | @SachinShekhar oh. for some reason, I misinterpreted future doctor as in "future regenerations", not "same doctor, reverse timeline". sorry | |
| Jul 28, 2014 at 17:10 | comment | added | Doctor Doom | @calccrypto There are always clear mention of future Doctor. She has photos of all past Doctors (that's how she recognizes one). Future Doctor gave her a Sonic Screwdriver which helped past Doctor to save her (into library computer) after she died. She has a notebook of her past which can reveal Doctor's future (which he dropped on the library planet). | |
| Jul 28, 2014 at 17:06 | comment | added | Doctor Doom | @calccrypto What do you think about that Time Lord class... Man, she was joking. River and The Doctor always meet across Time in wrong order. She was very close to future Doctor in her past, so you can logically conclude from where she could learn that. | |
| Jul 28, 2014 at 17:01 | comment | added | calccrypto | @SachinShekhar Future Doctor? That was mentioned somewhere? I'll admit I don't read the books or comics, but I don't remember hearing about a Future Doctor from River Song in the TV episodes. I do, however, remember her saying something about learning how to fly the TARDIS while the Doctor decided to skip the class. | |
| Jul 28, 2014 at 16:58 | comment | added | Doctor Doom | @calccrypto River learned that trick from future Doctor, so maybe past Doctors and others don't know about it. | |
| Jul 28, 2014 at 16:56 | comment | added | Doctor Doom | @Einer As I recalled, the handbrake part was attached with landing (reaching destination). While flying, River just stabilized the TARDIS by hitting the blue button. | |
| Jul 28, 2014 at 16:48 | comment | added | calccrypto | @Hypnosifl River Song probably did something right nonetheless. As to why other TARDIS' make the noise: it was probably because the show designers at the time were more concerned with other things than changing an iconic part of Doctor Who (if the Doctor's TARDIS does it, why don't all TARDIS' do it?), and left/put the sound in. | |
| Jul 28, 2014 at 16:48 | comment | added | Einer | @Hypnosifl One part of me agrees with calccrypro. The other part says: "But she could fly that thing without the noise!" Maybe the handbrake-part is a pun, but she has demonstrated that the noise is unnecessary - that the Tardis can move without triggering pumping-associations. | |
| Jul 28, 2014 at 16:48 | comment | added | Doctor Doom | @calccrypto Well then, I meant non-fan official publications like TV series, comics etc. | |
| Jul 28, 2014 at 16:41 | comment | added | calccrypto | @SachinShekhar Theres no such thing as Doctor Who canon. It's whatever you or the writer wants it to be. | |
| Jul 28, 2014 at 16:35 | comment | added | Hypnosifl | @Einer - we don't know if the sound has anything to do with a "handbrake", I suspect that was just a joke on River Song's part, since every other TARDIS used by other Time Lords like The Master and the Rani has made the same sound. | |

| Jul 28, 2014 at 16:29 | comment | added | Einer | Could very well be, that nothing is pumped, that it's just moving up and down. The sound that (at least to me) triggered the pump-association is made by the handbrake. Without the handbrake there is no pumping-sound. | |
