Am I the only one thinking they screw up with River history?

totaly agree . Writers want to make it last to keep everything about '' the mystery of River Song '' but still we 'd wanna get some Вопросы answered , because eachtime they make еще timeline Вопросы .

I'm glad I'm not the only one thinking they didn't plan River history well enough.

yeah coz when river first saw amy, her younger self there was no emotion! :O

It would have been possible but, she is somewhat of a time lady so like the Doctor she shouldn't have forgotten. And at the end season 5, she remember the doctor before Amy bring him back. so why would she remenber the Doctor but not her father?

Soomewhat a time lady..we're just not sure how much yet..maybe she doens't have his "time sense" I've heard it descibred as that before... anyway..I digress. I think she may not have remebered the Doctor after he sacrificed himself and that's why her blue journal was blank as well? She remembered her parents...ah hell..I'm talking myself into a corner. Hence the point of the qurstion...understanding paradox is easy...River Songisms..not so much.... the writer's really dropped the ball with her.

Even without how she exist in the first place without the doctor, why would she give her old newly blank journal to Amy if she didn't remember the Doctor?

I see your point in that. It's screwy.

Haha, i was thinking that.. I was like "How does river know about donna??"

i wonder if they will explain it... i hope so, then they might bring back catherine tate, it will be another River History Mystery solved :P

I'm not really sure I understand what you're saying in the first paragraph. But for the pandorica episode, she was with him in the roman camp for a week или so. If she had reconize him she could have just interact once with him and get is name. But she didn't. She see her dad and even speak to him once.. Plus she is surprise when she see his фото in Amy's bedroom and that make her realise something is wrong. So it really doesn't make sense to me.

sorry, english isn't my first language, so maybe I'm not as clear as I want to be...! What I meant was that she probably didn't remember him as her father in the pandorica episode, because of he's been 'eaten' by the crack, but I could not explain why she remembered (at least partially) the doctor, when he is the one that disappeared into the crack.

As for the first part, I meant that when Rory goes to her in prison she recognizes him, as her father (she says that she's met him, but she's very emotional, so she probably has not met him as the Doctor's companion and her friend, but just as her father). Also I think she was a younger version of herself, because she сказал(-а) that the Doctor had taken her on a дата for her birthday and we know that their timelines are back-to-front, and that our version of the doctor the ''young'' one, isn't the one that did it, so it's probably an older version of him taking a younger River out. BUT the River that goes to Demons Run is the old one, the one who knows all about the Doctor and knows Amy and Rory not just as her parents, but also as friends. So she probably had to wait YEARS (she did say something along the lines "now's not yet the time") between Rory's visit and her appearance on the asteroid. I don't know if I've been any clearer… and I think I wrote a poem! sorry, dear! XD
