Here we get an earlier version of River giving a big speech about how practically everybody in the universe is jumping at the chance to save the Doctor because of all the good he's done.

Certainly the one man you could rely on to come help in a situation like that is The Doctor, and it could have opened up some nice possibilities for a multi-Doctor story. Certainly would have been better than the ending we got, which was somewhat of an anti-climax in my opinion.<br /><br />It is interesting we're back to this whole "Who is the Doctor" plot again. I do wonder if it's going to be a straight revival of the Cartmel Masterplan, or if Moffat's got something else in mind. <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#A3B9CC"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="3" face="Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif"> <b>HerbShrump</b> <br /><small>Member # 1230</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="2" face="Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif"> <img src="https://flare.solareclipse.net/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.write(timestamp(new Date(2011,9,6,15,9,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><noscript><span class="dateformat-0">October 06, 2011</span> <span class="timeformat-0">03:09 PM</span></noscript><hr /> </font> <font size="3" face="Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif"> </font><blockquote><font size="1" face="Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">quote:</font><hr /><font size="2" face="Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">Is Madame Kovarian dead, what with the whole time-implosion alternate universe?</font><hr /></blockquote><font size="2" face="Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">They may play it as such but there's no foundation to believe that.
