River’s Timeline in Husbands of River Song & Manhattan
wait, so River and the Doctor are getting older in a reverse timeline fashion. right?
if that is so, when a younger Doctor was in Manhattan when the Angels took over, an older River was at Manhattan. I understand that time is not linear but I thought that the whole trouble behind the Doctor and River’s relationship was that they were traveling in reverse order in each other’s timeline.
So, now that they met at the same time in the Husbands of River Song, she will go on to meet a younger version of the Doctor as she is older (the last being at the Library) and he will continue on to meet younger versions of River as he gets older.
Since we are at that point in which their timelines intersected each other, we are actually going to go on and meet the younger versions of River with the Doctor. The episode in which she is younger (or the youngest we meet her) is probably where the Doctor gives River the journal.
All that being said, what I don’t understand is:
How does the current River, in the Husbands of River Song, already have a journal log about Manhattan if that is something in her future, in which she is older and the Doctor is younger?
