She hasn't found her Rory yet, but she knows that she's supposed to love him very much, and she'll find him someday. Right now, she's too busy infiltrating the Silence. The Doctor gets some clothes, a shave and an extremely suave new hairstyle. The two are interrupted by Captain Rory Williams, also with eyepatch, who has simply lived his life as a soldier, following orders.
Amy just knows him as "Captain Williams" and pays him no attention beyond acknowledging his announcement that they've arrived at their base of operations, the Pyramid of Giza. As they make their way inside, they come across several Silence submerged in tanks. The Doctor finds out that the eyepatches are actually external data storage, which enable people to remember the Silence after seeing them.
River is there, eyepatch and all, and she defiantly faces the Doctor. The Doctor tells her that she needs to kill him, right now. Because the Doctor being killed is a fixed point in time.
And there's no avoiding it. When he found her on that beach, wearing that space suit, the suit controlled her arm and she had no choice. He made her look at her future self on that beach and realise that it was going to happen, it needed to happen. But River still refused. With great effort she took control of the space suit's arm and drained its weapons.
And now the Universe has been ripped apart. Because she loves him. She was brought up to be obsessed solely with him, to spend every moment of her life thinking about him, just because Madame Kovarian made her that way.
So how could they expect her not to fall in love with him? Brilliant, the Doctor replies sarcastically. So she's in love with him. Let's kiss.
He tries to grab her arm, but she knows that touching him would cause the Universe to revert back to normal. Which would mean that he would have to die. If touching him means killing him, she will always Take a Third Option , even if it would destroy the Universe as they know it. And it would: the reality-warping force is an explosion that's already spreading across the galaxy now.
The Silence in their tanks are starting to crack. They weren't captured — they were waiting. Waiting to activate all those eyepatches and electrocute the people wearing them. River and Amy manage to rip off theirs. Rory yells at them to escape while he holds back the Silence. He keeps his eyepatch on so he can see them.
As Amy realises that this might kill him, she figures out who he is, and tells him to run before his patch activates. He tells her that it already has. Almost mad with the pain and with clenched fists, he stands his ground.
But Amy, who he ordered to leave, manages to improvise an escape - by returning with More Dakka and owning the silence, and on their way out they confront Madame Kovarian, who is extremely confused as to why the Silence haven't skipped her own eye patch and why her eye has been burned out.
For taking her baby, for ruining her life, for trying to kill the Doctor, Amy kills Madame Kovarian in cold blood. They walk out, and Amy curtly informs Rory that they should get drinks.
And married. A distress signal for the entire universe. She's been broadcasting into all of time and space that the Doctor is dying. And people across the galaxies have noticed: they're all gathered, up there, in the sky.
The Doctor once again tries to explain that it's not necessary. All they have to do is stand on a beach, where she shoots him, and he dies, and none of these people can help.
But she just wanted him to see how much so many across the Universe care about him. He just needs her to understand that it can't be helped and that he's fine with it. But she won't — she loves him and wants to be his Love Martyr.
River genuinely believes that even if the Universe were to collapse, her suffering would still be stronger than anyone else's if she were forced to kill her Sweetie. This earns her a grand What the Hell, Hero? Well, fine. He'll marry her, right there and then, if it gets her to do the right thing. They'll need her parents as witnesses — Amy fills in a very confused Rory on the details — and a foot-long piece of cloth for their handfasting.
With his bowtie wrapped around both their hands, the Doctor hurriedly makes Amy and Rory say their bits of the ritual, then whispers his secret into River's ear. It's his name, he says, and it'll save them all, and now that that's over with, can they finally get back to killing him?
River is shocked for a moment at what he's whispered to her, then smiles and consents to his plan. As they kiss, the Universe dissolves.
Back on that beach in Utah, River shoots the Doctor. He falls down, she shoots him again, and his body is given a Viking Funeral , exactly as it was supposed to go. A while later. Amy and Rory get a visit from River in their new home. Amy is feeling wracked with guilt over having killed Madame Kovarian. Because despite everything, despite it not even taking place in the normal timeline, she was still a person and it was still murder.
She and River compare diaries. River has just come from the crash of the Byzantium , where of course she had to pretend not to know who Amy really was.
Just like she pretended not to know what was happening on that beach in Utah, when she waited for her younger self to emerge from the water. Just like she pretended not recognise her space suit in Florida. And just like the Doctor had pretended to die. What he whispered into River's ear at their wedding wasn't his name. Amy insists it was, because he said it was. Rule one: the Doctor lies. It was, simply, "look into my eye". Inside his pupil she'd seen a miniaturised Doctor happily waving his Stetson at her.
Because when you happen to suddenly befriend a time-travelling, shape-changing robot, powered by miniaturised people, who specialise in replacing people just before they die without creating a Time Paradox The Doctor had realised it a bit late after asking the Teselecta to deliver the envelopes, actually but not too late.
Amy and Rory are overjoyed to hear that the Doctor survived. Amy is slightly less overjoyed when she realises that she's become her Raggedy Doctor's mother-in-law. The Doctor returns Dorium's head to the Headless Monks' vault. He confirms that River is now in Stormcage, where she spends her days repenting for what she did. During one such story, a certain character was introduced who would eventually change the Doctor forever. She was called Professor River Song.
While she was an immediate hit with fans who were desperate to know who she was, River's appeal did start to decline over time. Though she wasn't a bad character, even at the end, she did commit questionable acts. Even just reading that entry out of context makes one feel uncomfortable. Obviously, because this is Doctor Who , it wasn't nearly as simple as that. After literally years of waiting, fans finally found out that River Song was the daughter of Amy and Rory Pond.
The Ponds were the Eleventh Doctor 's best friends , particularly Amy, but even so, the Doctor found himself attracted to River regardless. While the Doctor and River actually made a great couple, there's no escaping the fact that, on the surface, it's a lot weird. River's backstory is insanely complicated, and not just because viewers met her in the wrong order.
Her mother, Amy, was kidnapped while pregnant and gave birth in captivity. While Amy was eventually rescued, baby Melody River's real name was kidnapped again. River was then raised with one objective: to kill the Doctor. She was turned into a psychopathic assassin with little regard for life of any kind. River did break free of her conditioning, but she continued to remain more than a little trigger happy.
Admittedly, this wasn't River's fault. Actually, it was mainly the Doctor's fault, but River did play a massive role, albeit unintentionally. In the alternate timeline where River refused to kill the Doctor at a fixed point, she and Amy held Madame Kovarian prisoner. Kovarian was the one who kidnapped River originally, and caused Amy to miss out on her time with her daughter.
While sleeping on a pirate 's ship , Amy woke to see Kovarian in a hatch that opened on the hull. She said, "It's fine. You're doing fine. Just stay calm. She was seen twice by Ganger Amy at an acid mining factory, first whilst Amy searched for Rory , though she did not speak. The next time, Amy sensed her coming appearance and stared at the wall where the hatch would open. TV : The Rebel Flesh. After her Ganger form was destroyed, Amy awoke to find herself in an alien hospital and heavily pregnant, with Kovarian looking over her.
She went into labour, with Kovarian cruelly instructing her to push. TV : The Almost People. Madame Kovarian and Colonel Manton visited Dorium Maldovar to ask him what he knew; they had been on Yellow Alert for a month and the Doctor hadn't done anything. Dorium explained that there were numerous people throughout time and space who owed the Doctor a debt for helping them; he was gathering an army. Dorium explained that the stories about the Doctor were true and not myths.
Seeing they were getting nowhere, Kovarian and Manton left. At some point after Amy's baby was delivered, Kovarian took her away and had a Flesh duplicate created as a decoy for the Doctor. The duplicate and Amy were "rescued" by Rory Williams. During the battle with the Headless monks , Kovarian told the Doctor she was "privileged" to have fooled him twice in the same manner and disconnected the Flesh signal, disintegrating the duplicate. Kovarian placed a neural block in Melody Pond's head to prevent Melody from ever killing her.
She appeared at the Luna University circa to River Song. Kovarian taunted her over her capture as a baby and her role in the Doctor's death.
With Silents and soldiers from the Church , she took River and forced her into an astronaut suit with an upgraded weapons system which controlled her nervous system. River was taken to 22 April and submerged in Lake Silencio to lie in wait to kill the Doctor. TV : Closing Time The assassination appeared to be successful though in fact River had shot the Teselecta in disguise , and River was jailed for killing the Doctor.
Though because of her constant failures, what remained of the Kovarian Chapter military and Silents abandoned her; since the Doctor had proven he could outwit any attempt they made on his life. She failed due to the interference of River Song. Despite many attempts by River to stop them, Brooke and Kovarian successfully killed the Fifth Doctor, taking his body and River to their ship. As she celebrated her success, she found herself repeatedly beset by the image of the Fifth Doctor, while a captive River warned her about her own myth of the Furies and that they were real.
The images were actually the result of River generating a psychic link between her and the other Proto Time Lords.
