So, just putting a question out there…
When Clara/Oswin was in the library… what exactly did she do there?
“Normally I am born to save the Doctor, but if River volunteers - oh well. Let’s let her put the ‘Ex’ before the ‘Wife’… Bitch.”
(Okay, I admit, that doesn’t sound like Clara. ;-)) But seriously, what did she do?
Save his hearts(?), for when future him would fall in love with River only to realize that he would lose her some day. She is a computer genius and River is in the computer. I am sure Oswin could figure something out.
Perhaps I am biased, but I have always preferred the female companions that are older - Donna, Romana, Barbara, Liz Shaw, River. I think he does much better with a mature woman around. (Sorry you young fan boys). I like this post here concerning Donna and just how brilliant she was:
HOW DID VASTRA DO IT?
Is anyone else besides me wondering about this? How did Vastra from London in 1893, contact River in the Library in the 51st century? Does she have some super computer with a time and space uplink? What do you think? Another thing, how was the letter mailed from 1893 to Clara in our present day? Does she posses some type of vortex manipulator transmat device? She said that time travel is possible in dreams but surely she would need some kind of device to contact River and send the letter to Clara? This was never explained in “The Name of the Doctor” episode. Any thoughts?
Okay, i just watched it again (and cried a lot again despite telling myself i wouldnt but anywayy) and i know ive been utterly convinced that river is dead and gone for good but ofc i WANTT to believe she isn’t more than anything and watching again today something occurred to me that gave me a…
Click the link above to read the whole theory in reference to River’s current “Spoiler” statement. I agree this does make sense. The question I have though is how did Vastra contact River in the first place?
But here’s the thing. Never mind us blundering fools, check out the fans. Two hundred and ten of them, with the top-secret episode within their grasp – and because we asked nicely, they didn’t breathe a word. Not one. Even Doctor Who websites have been closing their comments sections, just in case anyone blurts. I’m gobsmacked. I’m impressed. Actually, I’m humbled. And we are all very grateful.

“Time Travel is the cornerstone of Doctor Who. It provides the show an edge over other television series’ which enables it to go anywhere and literally tell any story in any time period.”
Very interesting article, explains 7 different ways that time travel is utilized to tell stories in the show:
TYPE-01 – Leave things as you found them…more or less
TYPE-02 – This is an observation-only zone!
TYPE-03 – Don’t pick on recorded history!
TYPE-04 – The Back to the Future Rule
TYPE-05 – It’s a brand new timeline!
TYPE-06 – Predestined to be there!
TYPE-07 – Hanging yourself up by your bootstraps!
