Doctor Who, Season 6

Having seen episode 7:
I hate Moffat so much right now ._.
Leaving us there for the next three months is NOT cool.

More to the point:

 Episode 7

FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF-

A bit of fridge logic: When we saw River die in Forest of the Dead, she told Tennant!Doctor before she knocked him out something like "It'll happen too fast, I don't think you'll regenerate." Meaning that we don't know whether River regenerates or not. Which means that there's no way of knowing whether or not The Littlest Timelord is River / Melody or not.

And another thing- where does The Silence play into all of this? They're clearly involved, they had kid!Melody, they were present at future!Doctor's death, and they have their own bloody Tardises meaning they can throw a monkey wrench into anything at will...

WHERE THE HELL ARE YOU GOING WITH THIS?!?

DAMMIT MOFFAT!

 Response

Melody and River look nothing alike, so she can regenerate, most likely. Also, in "Silence in the Library," when she goes to sacrifice herself in the Doctor's place, she says;

Doctor: Easy! I’ll hook myself up to the computer! She can borrow my memory space!
River: Difficult! It’ll kill you stone dead!
Doctor: Easy to criticize.
River: It’ll burn out both your hearts, and don’t think you’ll regenerate!
Doctor: This is not a joke. Stop this now. This is gonna kill you! I’d have a chance!
River: You wouldn’t have chance and neither would I!

It explains why she couldn't regenerate in "Silence in the Library" but she was able to regenerate when she escaped that life support suit as a child. The options are still open but this explanation makes the most sense to me.
