7. Your Future Wife May Already Have Killed You...
By the time David Tennants Tenth Doctor met the Woman that would become his wife (Alex Kingstons River Song) she had already killed him. Not content with a traditional romance story (droid meets droid, droid becomes chameleon, droid loses chameleon, chameleon turns into blob, droid gets blob back again, blob meets blob, blob goes off with blob and droid loses blob, chameleon and droid its a classic), Mr. Moffat obviously thought it made far more sense to do a relationship where, from the womans perspective, the couple are already married and settled down, but from the mans perspective, he has no clue whats going on, or why she gets so upset when he has no idea what shes talking about (OK, maybe that is a traditional romance after all). River Song dies in her very first appearance, series fours Silence in the Library/Forest of the Dead two-parter, but is alive and well in her next appearance, series fives Time of the Angels/Flesh & Stone because, from her perspective, her appearance alongside David Tennant occurred after her adventures with Matt Smith. Basically, all that stuff happened after she had killed him (but not really). As we later learned, River Song was the child of The Eleventh Doctors companions Amy & Rory, who had been kidnapped as a baby, brainwashed into becoming a living weapon and then sent into the past to act as the couples childhood friend. So, the next time you meet a potential partner at a party, on a dating site or during a gathering of friends, be aware that, as far as Steven Moffat is concerned, in their timeline she/he could easily have killed you already, but you just dont know it yet.
