Did you see what I did with the title?

Anyway, if I say "Sonic Screwdriver", does anyone know what I am getting at?

Take these words backward..... River (is) screwd! (Why? Oh....) I c (because the doctor is her) Son

Nice thought, but I think this is looking way too deep (into the River)

Well, if you take the word Screwdriver and....Oh s*d it, all I was actually trying to get at is that the sonic screwdriver River had in silence in the library was the Doctor's which he gave to her...but it was destroyed in TEH!?!

I'm probably missing some obvious wibbly wobbly timey wimey issue!

I think the screwdriver River had in SitL was actually different to both the old one and the current one, it looked chunkier.

I forget... did he leave that 'other copy' of it in the Library at the end?

No, it was the Doctors which he had added stuff to...the Doctor even said "Why would I give her my sonic screwdriver"

Not sure, but even if he did, it was after her death and when he would have given it to her...!

Well, it would have made sense for him to pick up the modified one and take it with him at the end of FOTD because he knew he'd have to give it to her later/earlier.

Next you'll be claiming Yana stood for "You are not alone" or something daft like that.

Problem with acronyms is 3/4 of the audience thinks the proper acronym for You are not alone is URNA.

No you're just missing the fact that the Doctor could have multiple copies of the screwdriver.

We saw Doc#10's screwdriver destroyed and thrown away in "Smith and Jones", he had an exact copy by the end of the episode.

No reason he could not create another copy to give to River.

Or as said he had Rivers screwdriver after the Library story and could just hand that back to her (we'll ignore the problem of who actually did the upgrades to it ).

Good point, I'd forgotten that!
