Doctor Who: 10 Defining Moments In River Song's Timeline

River Song - or Mels or Melody Pond/Williams/Malone or whatever you want to call her - has established herself as one of the show's most popular and beloved characters since her introduction, and untimely death, during the 2008 two-parter Silence in the Library and Forest of the Dead. As one of Steven Moffat's creations, it was inevitable that he was going to bring her back when he took over the reigns as the show's head writer and what happened next gave us an almighty storyline which quite literally defied the realms of time and space itself. But just who is River Song when she's at home? The long and the short of it is that she's Amy and Rory's daughter who was raised to kill the Doctor but eventually ended up falling in love with him and subsequently spent the rest of her life aiding him - but only when she chose to or physically could - in his ongoing universal escapades. The life and times of River Song are as timey-wimey as they come and over the years fans have been taken on an epic journey which has encapsulated her life, death and pretty much everything in between. If you still haven't managed to completely get your head around it, here are the 10 most defining moments in River's timeline - in the order they happened for her - which will hopefully help to shed some light on your unanswered questions.
