Who taught River Song her handy tricks?
So, after rewatching the episode and paying close attention to the dialogue, I noticed that River Song commented that she was taught by the best, however the Doctor 'wasn't around' that day.
On first viewing, I saw this as a sarcastic comment, but now I am wandering, could there be someone else important we are completely blind to here?

The doctor taught her, but she also taught him about the stabilisers. Now when he teaches her some time in the future he can teach her about the stabilisers, so that in her future she can teach him about the stabilsers. Errrrrrrrrrr...

I have it on good authority that Jackie Tyler taught her to fly the TARDIS.
Let's face it, the Doctor's over 900. He's probably flying the TARDIS 30 km/h below the speed limit, with the left-turn signal flashing for the last 50 years. |

I wonder whether she may be the Master's companion in her past/the Doctor's future. Hence the Doctor would not have helped her if he knew the truth. That'd explain her having a record of the Doctor (as the Master would've focused on the Doctor has the last known survivor of the Time War) and her knowledge of Time Lord ways.

If you have the premise that River Song is

All the interaction seems to fit the bill. |

I think Moffat likes putting a lot of these throw away lines in for fun and to just add more to the "River Song/ Doctor" future dynamic. I have a feeling most of them are never going to be explained and that Mofat has little intention of explaining them.
They're just there to add fun and mystery to the whole relationship |

I really don't think River is a time lady, wouldn't the Doctor be able to sense that she is one? I'm sure i've heard the Doctor saying he can sense other time lords, if there are any around him, except when they use the Chameleon arch and become human?
I would think that The Doctor did teach River about it, or possibly it could be Amy or one of the Doctor's future companions, depending on when River first meets the Doctor... I think the more important question is, will The Doctor take on board River teaching him how to land the Tardis or will we still get the Tardis noise? |
