I'm guessing that we will know exactly who River is by the end of the episode.
"A Good Man Goes To War" Prequel & Trailer
- Thread starter StCoop
- Start date
Given that he's wearing it for the Cybermen, I suspect he's probably pretending to be an Auton representing the Nestene Consciousness in the (or an) Alliance. They can't upgrade plastic...
Well we already know they find her cos she's in the second half of the season - and especially Gatiss' episode, which was originally episode 3...
Maybe Rory is the good man River kills.
Well, we've had one episode this season where he hasn't died, so he must be due to be killed again...
Excellent choice of words and having just watched The Almost People and then that, I can not wait for next Saturday!
Oh and eye-patch lady is a British actress (who'd have thunk it!) by the name of Frances Barber.
Maybe Rory is the good man River kills.
I think it's almost certain at this point. Rory really is the best guy ever. Who waits two thousand years? The Doctor is a coward, a manipulator and a narcissist by comparison.
I once took a vow of celibacy and waited two years for someone. She came back. We've been together ever since. Now I know that two years isn't two millennia but I'm not a fictional character or made of plastic so I am clearly the best guy ever.
^ Yes, that was it. Thank you. For some reason I couldn't remember.
You know I think one of the twists might be that the 'classic' bad guys might actually be on the Doctor's side for once-after all, their actions with the Pandorica were actually 'sort of' in the interests of saving the universe (although misguided). Plus the Silurians really aren't villains.
If this is true, I'm actually reminded of the novel "Warmonger" by Terrance Dicks which had the Doctor actually work with many of his enemies against Morbius (Before he was just a brain). The novel is probably one of the worse ones, though.

I was just reading some of the comments on one of the YouTube postings of the prequel (I see the BBC's reverted back to geolocking the promo videos ) - my favorite was the one that says "I wish people would stop calling River the Doctor's daughter because that would be weird..."
Yeah, up until they started snogging and flirting and River talked about being a screamer I might have said it's a possibility. But now - unless the show has become Spartacus I doubt they'll go that way. It'd make Luke and Leia's sexual tension (and snogging) seem like a misdemeanor by comparison...

Yep, the Silurians can be as good or bad as humans.
The Cybermen are run by logic and a survival imperative - if they're put in a situation where their survival depends on being the good guys, then they'll, logically, be the good guys.
Looking at the officially released photos the Sontaran appears to be fighting alongside Rory, not against him.
Steven Moffat: "Who fans abroad - the prequel is region-locked cos you haven't seen ep 6 yet!"I see the BBC's reverted back to geolocking the promo videos

And that my friends is why the good Lord made Youtube.
Can I get an Amen!
They must have locked it late Sunday/Early Monday because I saw it on BBC.co.uk Sunday and it wasn't region locked.
Well at this point it seems very obvious that Amy's baby is River. In fact, they have completely set it up for that to such a degree that it will be a huge surprise if she turns out to be anyone else.

Youtube and other means...
And A-Freakin' Amen!!
I'd read that we have to wait until episode 8 to find out who River is. And never assume the obvious with Moffat, he's a master of misdirection. I for one will be very disappointed if River turns out to be Amy's baby.
I came across another theory recently which I find much more interesting...
The Silence are interested in genetic manipulation and breeding, and in the Doctor and Timelords in particular. The baby is Amy's and Rory's, and the fact that she time traveled while pregnant was of interest to them. The girl in the spacesuit is the Doctor's and River's; they did the same thing to River as they've done to Amy - kidnapped her and took the child, and made her forget.
