Capt PicKirk how many times must you state your view that River is a mary sue? I think we get it.

As many times as I feel like it. 
Pterodactyl is now an archaic term for pterosaurs. While on the other hand a Pteranodon is a specific species of pterosaur.Something that has been bugging me ever since I began watching "Torchwood", but...... the cartoon in this picture as well as the flying creature at Torchwood, I always thought those were called "Pteranodons" and not "pterodactyls". That it's the former which has the pronounced crest and not the latter.
Anyone able to clarify this?
All Mesozoic flying reptiles are pterosaurs, regardless of crest.
So the sign is technically correct in its association of the image with a pterodactyl.
Alright! Thanks for the clarification. I hate it when little niggling details keep bugging me... which is my fault, I'll grant you. Thanks again, though!

Until everyone gets tired of you and puts you on ignore.
Anyway ... I don't care what River's origins are, she's a fun character. I would like to see a spin-off one day of her traveling through time with pre-mindwipe Donna.
I don't know if I would want to see a spin off, but I agree, she's a fun character. And in a lot of ways a whole lot of fun NOT knowing who she is.
I'm just nervous the reveal won't be as good as not knowing.

I think the best reveal would be archeologist meeting the Doctor in reverse order. At this point it seems the only unexpected resolution.
